Not the point of my posts but anyway thanks.Minsk wrote: ↑17 Aug 2022, 18:49I have read your posts.
I can't say anything about m1 and 5 only that's it's too fast for my liking.
I like H1, and I am contemplating doing a D1 next to H1 when I start a new batch.
You can do everything/anything all day, just half an hour of trading at candle close, you can look at way more charts if you like, be choosy about which one sets up nicer.
H4 is a bit more of a hassle as I don't always be awake at candle close, and trades will stille be running. Same is for H1 but these usually have closed before bedtime.
I am a firm advocate of the bigger timeframes, profits are made easier probably on those
I was not necessarily building a case for or against a time frame. I was trying to emphasise the importance of THE EDGE. That it's two faceted.
One person's edge on m1 might be higher than the other person's edge on h1. Because although M1 requires higher performance the trader might actually thrive better in such conditions and perform at their highest. (e.g. Emma or myself)
Meanwhile, there are other traders who have a superior EDGE for their time frame based on their trading strategy that does not require the trader's performance as the main ingredient to be profitable.
One trader might have a fully automated algorithm (trader's performance factor =0) or they have a semi-automatic algorithm (ours) and requires 25% of the trader's performance as a success factor. etc etc.
