I’m sorry if this has been asked and answered before but I have been searching around the forum's but can't find the answer.

In the picture below there is about 4314 pips in that movement from 15/10/2000 until 24/2/2008. Based on a weekly chart that is what you could possibly pick up if you are patient and had the right signal etc.

Question
Can you make any more trading a lower Time Frame?
If no then why would you use a lower time frame is it just the adrenaline rush or clever marketing?

Cheers Kiwi

Yes you can make more but that really is not a reason why people trade intraday and not weekly. The fact is if you trade weekly, you must have a very large account and trade very, very, very little of that account. Otherwise, the drawdown will eat you up and you will have margin calls.

Seapip could you please expand a little more on the Margin call because by my understanding once a position has been open the point at which a call is made has been set. and that point does not change no matter what the TF and the only reason it changes is due to the amount of profit you make.

cheers
