Hi all,

I want to know what are the best techniques to be used on M1-M5 timeframes. Not just techniques but also indicators and EAs. Since I see that most indicators, EAs and techniques are demonstrated on M30 and over.

Thanks for the coming replies

trading on the m1 and m5 timeframes isn't trading, it's scalping and it's just as different from trading as trading is from investing, which is what you're doing on timeframes from one day and up

I think that opinions on these timeframes may vary from trader to trader. As for me, I have made several trades and many of them lasted for more than 25-20 minutes and I dont think that this is considered as scalping.

Views may differ.

Check out this site for a system that works very well. It's not a commercial system, but very well developed.

sorry for off topic :

IMHO,

there is plenty of system/method/approach in forex no matter what named it is...u may say it an investing or scalping or whatever...no matter what timeframe u trade but i think there is only 1 thing that not change so much...it is Money Management (MM)...(maybe little bit different at risk/reward ratio & risking from yur total equity--u can read Diallist sticky for complete explaination)

if i remember a word from an article that i've read about last year..." Win or loose is nothing to professional...Money Management is "...so sharpen yur eye to money management.

there is plenty of M1/M5 trading approach in the net...choose what suit u but put MM infront of everything.

regards,

If you're going to trade lower timeframes, you definitely need to account for volume/volatility, using 'juice' or ATR or equivalent. MHO.

I think something is considered scalping if you need to sit there and stare at the terminal to do a buy/sell with out any plan of action. In my opinion, trading is when you have a plan that you will buy/sell at a particular price [and why] with pre-defined exit and take profit.
