  Abstract

This study presents a high-frequency trading system that combines a multi-head attention-based multi-timeframe transformer with a trend-driven labeling method. The labeling defines price changes within a threshold as continuous trends, producing more stable labels than conventional up/down schemes. Parallel processing of multi-timeframe data enables simultaneous short- and long-term dependency learning. Experiments show superior performance over existing models in accuracy, profit factor, and maximum drawdown, while reducing trades by about fivefold, enhancing both reliability and efficiency in futures markets
