To establish daily bias, which steps should be taken?

• A. Mark OB/FVG on the daily frame only
• B. Mark order blocks and fair value gaps on 4h/1h, then scale to 15m/5m for entries
• C. Ignore OB/FVG and trade off price action only
• D. Use 1m and 2m charts for bias

Answer: (B)

Understanding the daily bias comes from looking at higher timeframes to see the big picture and where institutional action has created key price zones. Using order blocks and fair value gaps on the 4-hour and 1-hour charts helps reveal these zones—areas where price reacted strongly and where supply or demand is likely to matter next. This setup shows the likely direction of the day by highlighting where liquidity sits and where reversals or continuations are more probable.

Once you’ve established that broader bias, you refine entry points on smaller timeframes like 15-minute or 5-minute charts. Those lower timeframes let you time entries more precisely within the context of the higher-timeframe structure, without getting lost in intraday noise.

Marking OB/FVG on the daily frame alone misses intermediate structure and can lead to weak or misaligned entries. Ignoring OB/FVG and trading solely on price action removes valuable institutional context that helps anticipate where moves may stall or accelerate. And using ultra-short timeframes like 1-minute or 2-minute charts to form the bias is too noisy and unreliable for capturing the true direction of the day.
