Now using only one time frame, you would have to wait for this bullish candlestick pattern to form, meaning you wouldn't be able to enter until up here. For an earlier entry point down here, you need to look inside of your hammer candlestick pattern trade setup area for trend change price action. So let's pull up the lower intraday time frame and put it beside this one.

Using only one timeframe, you wouldn't get into the short trade until down here, which is roughly here on the lower intraday timeframe.
