What is the Best Time Frame for Trading? Probably this is the No.1 question on every traders mind, when he or she first starts trading. Usually we all start with the shortest time frames of 1 min and 5 min as we tend to think that it poses lesser risk as you get many signals and reversals, but sooner or later we find out that it’s a waste labour, and making profit is a little difficult in the smaller time frames… In my life I have seen almost everyone try out every time frame from the 1 min to the daily and in some cases the weekly time frames …. I very strongly believe that Time Frame for trading depends on the trading style and the Trader’s Personality, there are some who would be bored to death on a 4 hour chart and there are some who would go insane on a 5 minute chart, so it firstly depends on who you are and what kind of personality you have… secondly what kind of trading you are interested in, whether you are a scalper or a positional trader, and let me warn you, scalping is a subjective term, for someone trading on a weekly chart, a daily chart trader is a scalper, so it’s a pretty relative term… but in our case it depends on what kind of Profit and Stop loss are you looking at also plays a crucial role in deciding the Time frame. In this video I , Edward Ji, try to explain by dissecting a Daily candle into many different time frames and I try to show how it behaves at different TFs and what are the advantages and disadvantages of trading in a smaller or a bigger Time frame. I have tried to show you the 5 minute Chart, 15 minute Chart, 30 minute Chart, 1 hour chart and 4 hour chart in comparison to a Daily Chart and how these Time frames give different conclusions to it’s trader.
