DislikedI think you missed Ron's point....you first have to decide what type of trader you want to be and then what time frames you want to use....without this basic premise I think you will flap in the wind. Trading with the trend on M5 might be a counter trend trade on H4....well, there are many possibilities.
So....what type of trading do you want to do....you first need to answer that..
Trend
Counter trend
Breakout
Are three basic ones and perhaps where you should be starting....
And then what timeframe...

As far as what type of trader i'd like to be ...I could easily answer that as with one word....succesful...I would like to strive to be a succesful trader...as far as time frame...with the exception of one chart i posted on here they have all been on the 30 min. time frame...the only reason i posted the daily is to try to find the general direction of the market and to spot any support or resistance levels and not place any trades around these levels....I would like to be able to look at a chart despite the time frame and analyze price action and understand what is going on and what would likely happen....whether it is a trend , a breakout , or a trend reversal.....and take advantage of the opporutunities when they present themselves....perhaps me wanting to accomplish this shows how much more I have to learn as everyone here is saying i either need to be one type of trader or another....
