Time frame H1 to M15

Dear friends,
I would like to share and hear from more experienced people about time frames. I currently trade on H1, but waiting candle by candle is becoming quite tiring. We know that the lower the graph time, the less reliable the signal is.But the question remains, will it really be worth going down from H1 to M15?

1 Hour Time Frame best for Forex Trading in my viewpoint. H4 is also helpful to recognize Trend .

O período de 1 hora é o melhor para negociação Forex, no meu ponto de vista. H4 também é útil para reconhecer tendências.

I also find H1 interesting, but it takes too long. Not to mention that we are looking for quality of life and the H1 ties us too much to the graph and there is another point, when we are away from the screen, resting and even sleeping, we lose the opportunity. Then it takes us another lifetime for another opportunity to appear;

Then trade the Daily (or higher) timeframe. It will take few minutes once a day to analyse your charts ... then you are free for other occupations.

Markets are Fractal in nature, the patterns formed are similar, Structure Breaks, Retests etc.
What changes is the ATR of the candles, smaller ranges, and you will of course now have more internal data of the larger timefarme, so your reaction time also changes.

You adjust the frequency of the amount of time you spend on watching a chart accordingly.

Important is what timeframe suits your strategy & your psychology.

first you have to answer yourself whether you are a investor, swing trader, day trader or intraday trader.
if you do not know which one suits your personality then it is difficult, flipping from one to another.
if you want quality of life and have 1 or 2 trades per day, look to w1 and d1 for direction.
use h4 as entry chart.
you only need to look at the chart every 4 hours.

Responding to the latest posts so far. FerruX mentions a daily chart, but the daily chart gives the feeling that there is no capital turnover and that everything is at a standstill. It seems to be more of an investor profile.
Shabs19, on the other hand, raises the issue of being fractal, which I am aware of, but the smaller the team, the lower the level of assertiveness. And also mention which time frame best suits your style and psychology.
And Inthebox, mentions the issue of knowing yourself better to be able to have an idea of which chart time to operate.
If I'm not buying stocks, I don't use daily charts. I could make a swing at H4 if the opportunity is very clear, but I will try to trade at M15 to see if that period suits my style better.

Sometimes we think that this subject is very simple, but it is not. When the beginner reads your answers, he will be able to have some guidance to make his decision.

First view the D1 candle because it will help you set a target for the day. Then you can see the H1 candle.

if possible, use mq4 to scan for your conditions..... once found, use alerts or push notifications to inform you.....

there is no way i could sit and watch a chart continuously for 60 seconds..... have too much to do......

however, ea's and such can keep me in the know every second of the day...... most of the time they find nothing..... they alert or pn me
when needed......

only then is my attention justified.....h

not every chart is the same. If we talk about eurusd I prefer 4H over 1H because 1H seems like too much zoomed in.

for usdjpy I prefer a strategy with MA crossover so I use 1H to get the timing right.

You can follow H4 time frame and it will help you remove your dullness. D1 is also preferred.

What do you mean by smaller the team, the lower the level of assertiveness ?

It's all relative, You scale your position / risk according to the timeframe that you are trading on.

You trade the timeframe that you are comfortable with, plenty to choose from.

I believe you meant momentum.

As its sound, 5m, 15m, 30m are changing dramatically every day and we cant follow it as a trend.. so you waiting for the momentum align with the 1h/4h for trading with the intraday trend.

{quote} Acredito que você quis dizer impulso. Pelo que parece, 5m, 15m, 30m estão mudando dramaticamente todos os dias e não podemos segui-lo como uma tendência.. então você está esperando o momento se alinhar com 1h/4h para negociar com a tendência intradiária.

I am currently analyzing a possible entry at H1 and confirming it at M15. H1 is a perfect time frame to trade, but I don't know how to manage this time, because H1 is too long to follow candle after candle.

This should be part & parcel of your trading plan.

It seems to me, you don't have one yet.
