Thread: which time frames to use

  1. #11
    I believe the resolution for a 4-5 hour trading session is one and 5 minute charts. Also 15 minute if one is fine looking in more pairs for trade setups

    such as: a normal setup may contain 5-10 candles, that on a 5m chart is 25-50 minutes wait time. On a 15m chart it could be a 1-4 hour wait time that is too slow for the session. Then one would need to look at many pairs expecting to ch a transfer through that window, while planning to hold and manage the open transactions following the session

    Why stop at timeframes - there are enormous amounts of diffrent charts out there that aren't reliant upon time as a constraint... there are tick charts which reveal candles based on orders coming from, renko charts, built on brick dimensions which finish on a specific price motion, range pubs, click and point.... All kinds of differnet charts that can be possibly better than the normal time based charts...

    I really don't think people are stopping at time frames, this is simply the subject of this thread. It doesn't limit us to talk about other charts and trading approaches .

    Stick to greater time-frames: Daily and 4H, 4H tf is somewhat tricky due to host time gap of brokers. 4H has to be performed in combination with 1H chart.

    The easiest solution here would be to get two platforms from two distinct brokers open so you can compare the differences between their 4H charts.

    The larger the time period the greater,it reduces the risk of ending up overtrading.

    I'm new to the forum.

    I currently utilize 1D and 4H TF with much victory for Forex, which is largely what I have time for, grabbing swings between SR zones on the NY open.

    Once I began I tried lower TF's like 1H, 15M, it was mad fast and too choppy. It felt more like gambling. (Not great as gamling is a plogical activity which is not what you want to be doing when investing) Anything under 1H is betting in my opinion.

    Somewhere I read the variable of 4-6 is ideal TF pairing. As zooming in on Your Own Time Frames think. You really dont want any detail significantly less than 1H for Swing trading or Position Trading.

    Try slower TF's 1D to find your S/R zones and trend instructions. Then utilize 4H (1/6 faster/zoom of this 1D chart) to fine tune your plan and find SL, Entry and Exits Points. And a suggestion in find S/R zone, If you like to trade 4H charts, then switch to line charts on the next highest TF which will be 1D (a factor of 6 on the 4H) find only the highest and lowest zones and any channels. Then switch back to the 4H and presto, Reliable swing points at Support and Resistance levels.

    That is how I use different Time Frames. Focus on just 1 TF and utilize lower or high to have a different perspective of the price action but only for that.
    Another suggestion, I discovered that too many Channel and Trend zones and lines everywhere becomes a big mess. Make your charts easy and simple to read. Your mind will thank you.

    I began learning price action aka trading and nude and found it very refreshing. I cleaned up my charting, beginning focusing on Support and Resistance Zone and Trend following. Things become far better!

    Bottom line, for Time Lines, Slowing down it to 4H/8H 1D is the best thing a new trader can perform for themselves. And clean up your charts. Make it simple.

    Stay amazing.

    The signs on the longer time frames are far more dependable too.

    Can you utilize all of these time frames to search for signs to trade? If so, have you got any trouble multitasking like that? That is quite a lot of time frames.
