Weekends are the perfect time to zoom out and review those weekly scale charts. Here's a pro tip: pull up 5 years of historical data on your weekly charts, then load 1 year of data on the daily timeframe. You'll notice both displays end up showing roughly the same number of candlesticks on your screen. This visual alignment actually makes a huge difference—your eye can track price patterns more effectively when the chart density is consistent across timeframes. It helps you connect the bigger picture movements with the shorter-term price action without having to constantly adjust your perspective. Try it and see how much clearer the chart reading becomes.

NGL, this trick is really amazing. Aligning chart density truly makes it much easier on the eyes.

ngl this is just basic visual UX optimization repackaged as "pro tip" lol... most serious traders figured this out years ago but i guess it's worth reminding the newcomers

Speaking of this method of aligning the density of 5-year weekly charts with 1-year daily charts... I've been doing it for a long time, and what happened? I'm still stuck at high levels. No matter how clear the technical analysis is, it can't save my account.
