This video just helped me realize why I closed my swings too early leaving a lot of profits on the table. I’ve been consistent when momentum trading off support & resistance using the 1m & 5m but translating that to my swing trades has caused me to get out early only to find it later prove my hypothesis for my plan initially. This really helped me because I made the same mistake like 3 times and couldn’t figure out what I needed to correct so thank you 🙏🏾
I am professional forex trader (ahem or so it says on the certificate hen you win a challenge lol) and I Concur. I have spent 10 years on the 1 and 5 minute charts and when I transitioned to the hourly, MY LIFE HAS CHANGED. no anxiety, less mistakes, big big winners.
The key is to have ONE higher timeframe = For OVERALL market direction & Main Structure. ONE medium = Additional Confirmation & ONE lower timeframe = For Entry Confirmation.
I usually use the 4H for bigger picture, 1h or 30min (sometimes the 30min is more relevant...) for medium picture, and 15min for confirmation and short term trend. I do scalp gold on the 1min timeframe and I struggle because it s a bit addictive and I easily end up overtrading
I’ve noticed if you trade Forex and use the hour, the results are better and you find more pips. Only negative is you have to wait for your signal and that could happen at a odd hour like when your sleeping. It might take 2-3 days before finding the signal again
Ive been studying 30 min entry for Futures...like NQ and YM....they move alot, and I've over traded like shit. So far...the 30 min looks good. Especially from a higher time frame zone
So it's not just me. I'm super happy with a string of 5-10 pip wins. I go in with heavy lots. I'm up in general but I'm still doing too many silly trades. I also love watching charts. Best show on earth. I don;t understand all this "chart hate" I see everywhere as if charts are the enemy. For $5,000 a day I'll chain myself to the charts without hesitation.
TH-cam celebrities glow about "swing" mostly because on 1min timeframe it is immediately clear that they sell rubbish. You can test every strategy on 1min timframe within a month. With swing trades ("I only trade 2-3 times a month") it will take you one year until you realize you do random trades.
Exactly. 5/15/30 min is good for quick scalping for fun etc, but the 1hr moves are legit moves, an accumliation of all those breakouts you'd react to in a lower timeframe. Stressful and 24/7 screen time. I saw an interview with a successful trader today, and he trades on the 4 hr chart. Goes and does whatever in between. Like the gym, playing with kids etc. Less trade's, less stress and less losses.
The opposite. Swing trading means you are in the trade for one or more days, always thinking and checking if it's developing good or bad. With scalping, after one hour and 10 trades you close the platform and call it a day.
i use the H1, H4 and Daily for my main analysis (direction) and M30, M15 and M5 for precise entry i hardly lose although sometimes i take 1 trade for the week still using higher TF makes you sharp
Completely agree. I still trade the 3-5 minute chart because it’s less risk and Ofcourse less reward. I still trade at high volume to cut market little slack but I’ve made more money off the 1H with less work vs my normal high volume trading patterns. 1H is a good place to be to calm the mind a little more than the stress of trading by candle (if you would)
Yeah, that's the comment i was looking for, you made money cuz you understand psychology of manipulation and see a perfect structure when the rest of them are seeing chaos.
Couldn’t agree with you more!!!! I honestly don’t know how people trade the 1m. When I was on it once, I felt like I was drinking water out of a fire hose!
On 1h timeframe, how much time does it take to validate one element of your strategy? You need to place at least 100-200 trades in different market conditionts to see if you don't trade random trades (like the "trendline";). How much time does take? 6, 12 months?
15 min for currency/crypto on day trades for sure. This is also a part of a swing trade at larger time for the most part, unless the bond market/banks tell us otherwise.

@@CarlosLopez2320. very well so far good. I have 5 funded accounts doing it. Im more a futures ES trader rather than a forex trader.

I went all the way to the weekly, daily, and 130 minute for entry. Made the biggest wins of my entire career. And my confidence allowed me to hold onto the play much longer and through some severe adversity too.
Love her videos. She breaks it down well for beginners who aren’t yet trading institutional levels or monthly weekly daily levels. Very real, and relatable content.
It might feel like it holds more weight but I think you will find the 1 hour and 5 minute breakout could probably look the same at different intervals. By that I mean, if you go back and look at a 1 hour breakout on a 5 min interval, you would probably see the fake outs/reversals that would normally cause you to panic and stop out it’s just that on a 1 hour time frame, you don’t see those smaller fluctuations and so you don’t get so spooked. It’s the same but for a reversal to show, it has to be a lot bigger. On 1 hour things are just smoothed out. Someone working on a 1 day, 1 week or 1 month might look at 1 hour fluctuations and panic the same way you might be over 5 min. Also, it could have broken out up to an hour ago so by then you should be pretty sure that it’s a breakout which probably gives it the weight you speak of
Yep thats basically what studying Elliot waves will teach you. The trends and patterns are like fractals. All timeframes will experience similar trend behaviour, no matter how closely or zoomed out you look.
But what about setting stop loss ratio, alot can change in an hour, with large reversal moves? how do we factor that in? When is it time to exit on a reversal?
I like to use 5 and 15, I feel like limiting your self to one is pointless. Small ones are better for entries but I always make sure my trade is following a direction in the bigger picture aswell. That’s one mistake I’ve caught for a lot of my losing trades, I’ll get lost in the smaller time frames, take a trade and then I’ll zoOm back pair and realize the 15 or 20 tells a whole different story. Check multiple time frames!
The longer you hold a trade, the riskier it becomes. Since you have less trades on a 1 hour chart, 1 bad trade can set you back far. Since you can accumulate more trades with a 5 minute chart, it will take a multiple number of trades to set you back.
sis i really prefer the long time in trades the longer the time for me the better results i got , i apply this concept always in all my trades on olymptrade
I was over trading as well. The one thing you said has helped me so much. You said " you always leave money on the table". Thats everhthing right there. I no longer try and hit the top and bottom and am eay better at taking profit now. I used to feel like a failure if i didnt call every stock perfectly woth highs and lows. As simple as it is its just that simple haha.
I started going into the one minute to get some extra early position in my 1 hr trades after trading the 1,hr chart for years. The do retrace constantly tho you're right. Always have my eye on the daily and monthly. Great short!
That can be said about 1hr vs 4hr time chart. It’s about how much you are willing to work for, a day at a time or 5 min of an hr…. The risk is the same, but reward can be different I think.
And I want to ask, why the shorts? Legit vids are way more informative, shorts have their spot for sure but you are starting out still. Where’s the gold?
You need to trade with a ratio of 1:5 for shorter time frames less than the hr, anything above the 1 hr the ratio switches to 1; 4 , for example if you use the 6 minute to execute trades and then use the 30 minute to check for confirmations. If you use use the 1 hr use the 4 hr for confirmation then take you trades.You will make less mistakes and take profit easily.
Could you make a video on how you setup you trading station? How you set up your tradingview? How many screens you use? Do you use your mouse to buy , sell or place your stop-loss? I don't even mind paying for it
Me personally as a fib intraday trader the 5 min is perfect there’s usually only one setup a day that happens. With each stick being 5minutes it will take a whole day for a full swing and retrace to complete. The accumulation distribution at either the 50,61.8,65% levels will usually last 30-60 mins before retracing. On the 15min and one hour it takes days sometimes weeks so those are usually too high of a timeframe to trade that style daily. I use a 2000 tick on NQ for entries as it mimics the 5 min. I used to try to do this stuff on a 1 min and 950 tick. Being that close to the market was hell. I blew up so many prop accounts it was ridiculous.
I get “trading styles” but the charts talk to you Sometimes they’re saying run a 3 min, sometimes 15, sometimes 1-1/2. The support, volume, and price action with maybe FDX is all you need to see it.
Funny. I recently did the same thing for swing trading. It definitely is less stressful. I only use thr 5 min to detect when 9/21/50/200 EMA are all bullish with the fastest time on top of the slower ones for entries. Outside of that, I swing the hourly to hold My position longer. It’s been much less stressful
Same I even like the 15 minute to minute place my strategy but the 1H seems to just be clearer and less BS. It also seems the 1H respects liquidity and demand way more then a 1-5mTF
The most important factor about time frame is your lifestyle, i chose sclaping becuse trading is my main source of income , opening 3 trades a day will provide more consistancy in your income than being a swing trader. In a world where everything is monthly its better for me. Also i close my trade befote the sun goes down so im much more relieved when sleeping. + im not an employee, entrepreneur, or content creator so it fit perfectly my life style
I've been admiring your trading style-it’s refreshingly effective without relying on common indicators. I prefer horizontal lines to see ranges clearly. Are there specific times or overlaps you find best for trading, like pre-market or session opens? Have you noticed any of the one-hour timeframe’s effectiveness in the Asian market?
Even for scalpers the one hour time is the best to go off .use 5 minutes for entries or pull back when there’s strong bullish or bearish candle on the 1 hr
Good idea I started practicing on a higher time frame yesterday. I wanted to feel calmer during a trade and not force myself out or set my s/l too low.
I feel on the Higher time-frames,like 1 hour,and so on,we get to see a genuine and a solid movement of the market. On the 5 mins time frame and less ,is filled with a large representation of the higher timeframe's candle movement with more noise a bit. So I do my analysis on the 1h and then I head to the LTF like 5 min for my entry and x2 confirmation (i.e after my first confirmation on the Htf.)
I choose the timeframes that make the more sense, according to the PA and my indicators, for each security. 30/10/3 for the Dow Jones & NASDAQ, 1H/30/10 for the Bitcoin... With possible changes when there's a lot of volatility, for ex.
No just higher Time frame will be Always stronger than thé lower Time frame , for exemple i Can find alot of FTL and order block and BOS and IDC in 1 minute Time frame but they are wrong because this is a lower Time frame and if WE sée in the higher WE will remark that there IS nothing , conclusion: analyse in the higher Time frame and execute and find an entry in thé lower Time frame
Respectfully. I get it, but if you recognize a 2-1 trade on the 1hr for example, and ENTER on the 5 minute. You will not only exit the trade a lot faster, but you also reduce the chance of getting stopped out or it retracing. Probably better to focus on setting a goal and sticking to it. If one overtrades, they will over leverage, revenge trade etc. Self discipline is the answer. Trust your analysis~and stick to it.
We trade exactly the same except I don’t trade 1hr I trade 5 and 15mins sometimes 1min cos I’m a scalper and I over trade which I don’t like, but I will try learn how to trade 1hr time frame. A week is good cos I’m a fast learner. Anyways, your videos has been really helpful. Thank you
I just look at the overall direction and bias of price movement on the higher time frames like the daily and weekly just to get a general understanding of where price might wanna go or return to then I use the daily 4h and 1h to see how I can get in on my trades after I have a general understanding of price movement and after I create my bias I use the 15m and the 5m to indicate when I can enter a trade keeping in mind everything that’s happening on the higher time frames after I see that I have a good entry or indicator telling me to buy or sell I place my trade on the 1m set a take profit and stop loss and so far my win rate the past week has been 100% that strategy that I use is solid because I’m predicting who has control and momentum ahead of time and I’m either riding a wave or catch a big breakout try it and let me know how it goes for you
*New Trader* I only trade for an hour and a half a day, so no swings personally. Hourly doesn't give me enough data entries, but they are definitely bigger/more defined moves. Good to look at 1hr for potential, but 15min and 5min, I find the easiest to read moves. 1 minute is just too volatile for my puny brain😅
I look at all time frames but I pull the trigger on the one minute. With options you can literally get 30 to 50% in a few minutes. Don't need to get greedy just get out green.
I find 5M works best with a limited time window and holds best around market open. For example I trade 5M around 0800-1000 London time on the FTSE 100 index, one trade and that’s it for the day. But what you say is spot on.
I usually get caught up overtrading in the lower time frames as well and less in higher time frames and always have more success in lower time frames and my anxiety is a lot less and trades are less forced. Good stuff. The Googles must of heard my complaining about my recent trading cause now you have showed up in my feed. All hail Google lol

Back Testing The 1H Can Be Life Changing As Well, The Smaller Time Frames Are Volatile AF! 😂
This is so timely as I have gone from a 4min chart to a 60min chart and already feel more relaxed, taking less trades and overall better performance
I was over trading as well. The one thing you said has helped me so much. You said " you always leave money on the table". Thats everhthing right there. I no longer try and hit the top and bottom and am eay better at taking profit now. I used to feel like a failure if i didnt call every stock perfectly woth highs and lows. As simple as it is its just that simple haha.
Love it! It makes sense. I did a 4hr and it felt different and I seemed to be more confident in my trade.
The 4h is something else def my favorite
I love your accent. I used five minutes to spot candle signals. There’s more of them there. I count them. I use 1 hr for my lines.
You are absolutely Dam Right.. always appreciated your kind thoughts. Thanks a lot.
Longer the time frame, longer the trend.
Explains why I prefer 4hr frame
@@leviprentice5689 Yessir
Price is fractal patterns that work on the one hour also work on the five minute
I started going into the one minute to get some extra early position in my 1 hr trades after trading the 1,hr chart for years. The do retrace constantly tho you're right. Always have my eye on the daily and monthly. Great short!
Yup, same thing for daily bollinger for regular stock swing trades for me 😅
I agree. I stopped spamming the 5 min and I’m now watching the daily and entering on the 4hr. 😅
Yes! Less stress makes a trade walk away
You're smart! Longer time frames are more chartable
Yeah, but you expose yourself longer to the market and potential loss.
@@Christopher0632 very true
That can be said about 1hr vs 4hr time chart. It’s about how much you are willing to work for, a day at a time or 5 min of an hr…. The risk is the same, but reward can be different I think.
And I want to ask, why the shorts? Legit vids are way more informative, shorts have their spot for sure but you are starting out still. Where’s the gold?
I do livestreams and short form content for now.
You need to trade with a ratio of 1:5 for shorter time frames less than the hr, anything above the 1 hr the ratio switches to 1; 4 , for example if you use the 6 minute to execute trades and then use the 30 minute to check for confirmations. If you use use the 1 hr use the 4 hr for confirmation then take you trades.You will make less mistakes and take profit easily.
Could you make a video on how you setup you trading station? How you set up your tradingview? How many screens you use? Do you use your mouse to buy , sell or place your stop-loss? I don't even mind paying for it
Me personally as a fib intraday trader the 5 min is perfect there’s usually only one setup a day that happens. With each stick being 5minutes it will take a whole day for a full swing and retrace to complete. The accumulation distribution at either the 50,61.8,65% levels will usually last 30-60 mins before retracing. On the 15min and one hour it takes days sometimes weeks so those are usually too high of a timeframe to trade that style daily. I use a 2000 tick on NQ for entries as it mimics the 5 min. I used to try to do this stuff on a 1 min and 950 tick. Being that close to the market was hell. I blew up so many prop accounts it was ridiculous.
4 hour and higher candle stick patterns are legitimate and when choosing entry point you can go at lower timeframes depending on your bias
If you trade anything less than one hour I feel like you still have to analyze one hour
Thanks so much Tori I needed to hear this 🙌
Thank you for this clarity ☯️
I often use the rsi for any divergences to figure out if a trend is changing
Higher time frames always gives trust more than lower time frame
Higher time frames also make you wait longer so it gives you a chance to burn off some FOMO waiting for the setup
Trade the 4hr for this reason.
Each to their own. That's the great thing about FX.
trade with smaller TF , smaller SL we have to deal with compare to bigger time frame.
depend on how much you willing to put as the SL
I get “trading styles” but the charts talk to you
Sometimes they’re saying run a 3 min, sometimes 15, sometimes 1-1/2. The support, volume, and price action with maybe FDX is all you need to see it.
Thanks for being specific. Too many videos leave out important info like time frames.
Funny. I recently did the same thing for swing trading. It definitely is less stressful.
I only use thr 5 min to detect when 9/21/50/200 EMA are all bullish with the fastest time on top of the slower ones for entries. Outside of that, I swing the hourly to hold
My position longer. It’s been much less stressful
Same I even like the 15 minute to minute place my strategy but the 1H seems to just be clearer and less BS. It also seems the 1H respects liquidity and demand way more then a 1-5mTF
These are all great points.
The most important factor about time frame is your lifestyle, i chose sclaping becuse trading is my main source of income , opening 3 trades a day will provide more consistancy in your income than being a swing trader. In a world where everything is monthly its better for me. Also i close my trade befote the sun goes down so im much more relieved when sleeping. + im not an employee, entrepreneur, or content creator so it fit perfectly my life style
I've been admiring your trading style-it’s refreshingly effective without relying on common indicators. I prefer horizontal lines to see ranges clearly. Are there specific times or overlaps you find best for trading, like pre-market or session opens? Have you noticed any of the one-hour timeframe’s effectiveness in the Asian market?
And now she's switched to the 4 hour with even more success and less maintanence on trades. I like it.
I subscribed because I like the 1H better than five minutes. It gives you a stronger sense of what to look for
Even for scalpers the one hour time is the best to go off .use 5 minutes for entries or pull back when there’s strong bullish or bearish candle on the 1 hr
Thank you for this tip bc I’ve been doing 5 min timeframe and it is stressful beyond belief and I’m not making better profits bc of the fake outs
No doubt! Same experience!
This is what i ak doing now a days, no overtrade, no anxiety, just waiting for SL or TP patiently
Good idea I started practicing on a higher time frame yesterday. I wanted to feel calmer during a trade and not force myself out or set my s/l too low.
I rather stay up to date with the market and flow with it, 5M is my workplace
She Is saying truth.....this is what I observe..
Namaste bahaai which one u prefer from these signals intraday or scalpjng?
I feel on the Higher time-frames,like 1 hour,and so on,we get to see a genuine and a solid movement of the market. On the 5 mins time frame and less ,is filled with a large representation of the higher timeframe's candle movement with more noise a bit. So I do my analysis on the 1h and then I head to the LTF like 5 min for my entry and x2 confirmation (i.e after my first confirmation on the Htf.)
I choose the timeframes that make the more sense, according to the PA and my indicators, for each security. 30/10/3 for the Dow Jones & NASDAQ, 1H/30/10 for the Bitcoin... With possible changes when there's a lot of volatility, for ex.
1 hour is a good medicine for trader's blood pressure
No just higher Time frame will be Always stronger than thé lower Time frame , for exemple i Can find alot of FTL and order block and BOS and IDC in 1 minute Time frame but they are wrong because this is a lower Time frame and if WE sée in the higher WE will remark that there IS nothing , conclusion: analyse in the higher Time frame and execute and find an entry in thé lower Time frame
Respectfully. I get it, but if you recognize a 2-1 trade on the 1hr for example, and ENTER on the 5 minute. You will not only exit the trade a lot faster, but you also reduce the chance of getting stopped out or it retracing.
Probably better to focus on setting a goal and sticking to it. If one overtrades, they will over leverage, revenge trade etc.
Self discipline is the answer. Trust your analysis~and stick to it.
We trade exactly the same except I don’t trade 1hr I trade 5 and 15mins sometimes 1min cos I’m a scalper and I over trade which I don’t like, but I will try learn how to trade 1hr time frame. A week is good cos I’m a fast learner.
Anyways, your videos has been really helpful. Thank you
I just look at the overall direction and bias of price movement on the higher time frames like the daily and weekly just to get a general understanding of where price might wanna go or return to then I use the daily 4h and 1h to see how I can get in on my trades after I have a general understanding of price movement and after I create my bias I use the 15m and the 5m to indicate when I can enter a trade keeping in mind everything that’s happening on the higher time frames after I see that I have a good entry or indicator telling me to buy or sell I place my trade on the 1m set a take profit and stop loss and so far my win rate the past week has been 100% that strategy that I use is solid because I’m predicting who has control and momentum ahead of time and I’m either riding a wave or catch a big breakout try it and let me know how it goes for you
I actually trade both the 5m and 1H timeframes. Both are my favorite timeframes.
Couldn’t agree more,. This is so so true, ❤❤❤
Top down analysis: start at the Daily then work your way down! This helps with all trading styles
I do both. The scalp the 1 minute charts.
You look so cute with those glasses. Great content. Thank you!
Time to transition to the 1 minute timeframe for the ultimate challenge. I'm joking, it's hell down here
🤣🤣🤣
I enjoy 1 minute timeframe 😬
Lmfao!!!
The 1 min is for lunatics
how about 1 second TF?
The transparency 🎯
*New Trader*
I only trade for an hour and a half a day, so no swings personally. Hourly doesn't give me enough data entries, but they are definitely bigger/more defined moves.
Good to look at 1hr for potential, but 15min and 5min, I find the easiest to read moves. 1 minute is just too volatile for my puny brain😅
you can do one trade in a day with the 5 mins time frame then go outside to do what you like. it is better than waiting for a nice entry for hours=)
loving these short vids .. thanks 😊
I look at all time frames but I pull the trigger on the one minute. With options you can literally get 30 to 50% in a few minutes. Don't need to get greedy just get out green.
I find 5M works best with a limited time window and holds best around market open. For example I trade 5M around 0800-1000 London time on the FTSE 100 index, one trade and that’s it for the day. But what you say is spot on.
I usually get caught up overtrading in the lower time frames as well and less in higher time frames and always have more success in lower time frames and my anxiety is a lot less and trades are less forced. Good stuff. The Googles must of heard my complaining about my recent trading cause now you have showed up in my feed. All hail Google lol
