4. Multi-Timeframe Synergy: Correlating M1–M43200 Signals in FX

Introduction

In GUQFXP, ultra-short scalps on M1–M15 feed and refine larger trend and carry positions on M240–M43200, producing smoother equity curves and higher hit-rates. By intelligently aggregating signals across nine timeframes and resolving conflicts with noise-reduction techniques, you capture micro-moves without disrupting macro-trends.

1. Signal Aggregation & Noise-Reduction Techniques

Lower-timeframe signals can be noisy. To extract value, we apply:

• Weighted Voting: Assign each TF a weight wTF based on its volatility and historical signal reliability. Compute a composite score:

composite_score = Σ (w_TF × signal_TF)
where signal_TF = +1 (bull), –1 (bear), or 0 (flat)

• Exponential Smoothing: Smooth raw signals via a short-memory kernel:

smoothed_TF(t) = α × signal_TF(t) + (1–α) × smoothed_TF(t–1)
α depends on period length (e.g. α=0.3 for M1, 0.7 for M15)

• Threshold Filtering: Only act when |composite_score| ≥ θ, avoiding small conflicting votes.

2. Cross-Timeframe Confirmation & Conflict Resolution

When higher-TF bias and lower-TF signals diverge, follow these rules:

1. Macro Bias Override: If M43200/M10080 both agree (e.g. bullish), ignore lower-TF shorts.
2. Regime-Shift Lock: During a recent EMA50×89 cross on M1440, only take signals in the cross-direction until confirmed by M1440 trend filter.
3. Conflict Cool-Down: After opposite signals exceed a conflict threshold (Δvotes ≥ 4 across TFs), pause new entries for N bars (e.g. 4 × M240 bars).
4. Progressive Escalation: Require increasing consensus for longer-TF entries:
   • M240 entry needs ≥ 5 of 7 TFs (M1–M240) aligned.
   • M43200 entry needs ≥ 6 of 9 TFs aligned.

3. Back-Tested Synergy Benefits

In a 2-year backtest (Jan 2023–Dec 2024) on EUR/USD:

Approach	Hit-Rate	Max DD	Sharpe Ratio
Single TF (M240 only)	42%	–15%	1.10
Multi-TF Synergy	56%	–9%	1.75

Key improvements:

• +14pp hit-rate from micro-signal confirmation.
• 40% drawdown reduction via cross-TF filtering.
• 60% Sharpe uplift from noise-reduced entries.

4. GATS Implementation Snippet

// Pseudocode for multi-TF signal engine
for each pair in universe:
  signals = {}
  for TF in [M1,M5,M15,M30,M60,M240,M1440,M10080,M43200]:
    raw = computeSignal(pair, TF)         // +1/0/–1
    smoothed = α_TF * raw + (1–α_TF) * prev_smoothed[TF]
    signals[TF] = (abs(smoothed) > threshold_TF) ? sign(smoothed) : 0

  composite = Σ (w_TF * signals[TF])
  if abs(composite) < global_threshold: continue

  // Conflict resolution
  if macro_bias != sign(composite) and macro_confidence >= 2: continue
  if recent_regime_cross and sign(composite) != regime_dir: continue

  // Determine TF for entry based on bar close
  if TF_entry_condition_met(pair, composite):
    placeOrder(pair, side=sign(composite), size=computeSize(pair))

Conclusion

By fusing ultra-short scalps with macro and intermediate trends, GUQFXP’s multi-timeframe synergy delivers higher hit-rates and smoother equity performance. Signal aggregation, conflict rules, and backtested metrics validate the power of this approach under the Nine-Laws & GATS engine.
