Hi All,

I totally understand this is all relative to source, and you have to use your best judgement, but what are the commonly understood ranges (and/or units of measure) of Short Term, Medium Term and Long Term?

Thanks
To be one with the market, you must first be one with yourself.
This is only my opinion, some people view it differently I'm sure but here goes,

Short term: tick to 30 min charts
Medium term: 1 hour to 4 hour charts
Long term: daily charts or higher

...of course these are debatable

Exactly.
The market can stay irrational, longer than you can stay solvent.
