Case note: aligning VHM before a pullback entry
Participant: Minh T. · Program: Multi-timeframe intensive · Date: March 2025
Minh arrived entering on 15-minute breakouts without checking the weekly chart. During session two we marked VHM's weekly uptrend and a daily support band near 58,000 VND. His homework was to wait for a daily close above the prior week midpoint before sizing a long.
He reported back four weeks later: he passed on two intraday signals that looked valid on the 15-minute chart but sat below the weekly midpoint. The third setup aligned across all three timeframes; he took half his usual size and placed the stop below the daily swing low rather than the intraday wick.
Minh noted the method slowed his trade count — which he considered a trade-off worth keeping. He returned for chart lab sessions to practice the same checklist on mid-cap names.
