Recently, I've been studying the multi-timeframe signals of ETH, mainly focusing on the 30-minute and 1-hour levels. To be honest, the most frustrating part of short-term trading is encountering sudden unfavourable information from the macro perspective when the technical support level is quite strong—this situation is really perplexing.
My own strategy is 'signal resonance + risk pre-positioning', which means that the buy and sell points across multiple time frames must all show green lights at the same time before I dare to enter, and the stop-loss level is set tighter than usual. But sometimes I wonder, am I being too conservative? After all, I've missed quite a few rebound opportunities.
I would like to hear everyone's thoughts: When you are trading short-term swings and encounter a situation where the technical signals are okay but the news is unclear, do you choose to trust the charts and continue, or do you wait and see until the market sentiment stabilizes? Feel free to share your practical experiences!

Being conservative sometimes just means living longer; those who lose money are often aggressive.
---
The macro unfavourable information really can't be defended against; no matter how solid the chart, it can't withstand a black swan.
---
I've also used the multi-frame resonance strategy; it earns less but allows for a sound sleep.
---
When the news is unclear, I usually reduce my position rather than enter a position; there are plenty of opportunities for a rebound.

Missing a rebound vs. enduring a flash crash; whichever you choose shows your risk preference.
---
What short-term traders fear most is not the technical reverse, but that you simply can't react in time.

I think a stop loss that is too tight sometimes leads to being shaken out; having a wider space allows you to last longer.

I don't think this strategy is actually conservative, if you can survive and make money, you've already outperformed a lot of people.
So what if you miss the Rebound? It's still better than getting liquidated, right? I paid the price for being greedy last year.

I totally understand this guy's dilemma. The signal resonance sounds stable, but it's really easy to lose money quickly.
When the macro environment gets dumped, no matter how strong the technicals are, they can't hold up. Generally, I just lie flat and watch at this time; after all, there will always be rebound opportunities coming back.
Instead of betting and getting trapped, it's better to wait for the market sentiment to warm up again. Preserving the principal is the way to go!

I think your idea actually makes sense; being conservative is definitely better than getting liquidated. But really, when news comes, no matter how strong the technicals are, you have to be cautious.
Wait a minute, is your stop loss set so tight that it might get you washed out? Just asking.
I've also played with this signal resonance system; when the green light is on, I still feel a bit scared, thinking that when it’s about time, I should run.
Better to miss out than to get trapped; that’s my logic, haha.
Charts can be deceiving; I feel that market sentiment is more real than candlesticks.
To be honest, short-term trading is just gambling; no matter how many frameworks resonate, it won't change that fact.

Be conservative, I'd rather miss a few opportunities than get liquidated.
When strong support meets unfavourable information, it's a pit, don't believe those hype advocates.
The signal resonance system is indeed reliable, just takes a bit longer to profit.
When the news front is unclear, I just watch the show, waiting for the direction to be clear before taking action.
The combination of multi-timeframe resonance + tight stop loss is actually the king of stability; many people lose because of greed.
Missing a rebound is far less costly than misjudging a direction, brother.
In front of macro black swan events, chart support levels can't hold up at all; I've seen it too many times.
Rather than being conservative, it's more about living longer, and that's how you win.
For short-term, you either fully trust the technicals or fully trust the news; being stuck in between is the most uncomfortable.
