How to Use The Information Gathered So Far

Determine The Big Picture (for intraday trading)

Glancing at the hourly chart will give you the big picture - up or down. If it's not clear immediately then you're in a trading range. Lets assume the trend is down.
Determine If The 15 Minute Chart Confirms The Downtrend Indicated by Big Picture
Current price on 15-minute chart should be below 60 period moving average and the moving average line should be sloping down. If this is so then you have established the direction of the prevailing trend to be down. There are always two trends - a prevailing (major) trend and a minor trend. The minor trend is a reversal of the main trend, which lasts for a short period of time. Minor trends are clearly spotted on 5-minute charts.

Determine The Current Trend (major or minor) From The 5 Minute Chart
Current price on 5-minute chart is below 60 period moving average and the moving average line is sloping downward - major trend. Current price on 5-minute chart is above 60 period moving average and the moving average line is sloping upward - minor trend.

At this point you know the following:
Direction of the prevailing trend. Whether we are currently trading in the direction of the prevailing (major) trend or experiencing a minor trend (reaction to major trend).
