For lower TF's: Trade Forex or better Futures contracts?

I have personally come to the conclusion that trading longer time frames can be more rewarding. I do not wish to endeavor in this discussion about the reasons why longer time frames can be traded more successfully in the longer run, this subject has been discussed over and over again.

My question here is, what do you do if ones character does not fit longer time frame trading, for the reasons if you are more the impulsive and less patient type of trader and/or if you don't want to keep positions open over night or weekends, would you rather suggest trading Futures contracts in the lower time frames, or would you rather stick to forex trading all together and make do with the lower TF's?

And secondly, if one decides to trade other than forex, what vehicle or instrument is available (commodity or equities) and what do you suggest fits best for trading Intra day, and/or scalping?

I would very much welcome your suggestions and comments on this subject.

What is the lowest TF trading FX you would go to if you were to trade Intra day or scalping? What have you found to work best?

Also, would you suggest trading Futures or rather FX?

Anyone who has had some experience in trading the Futures market I would mostly welcome to participate in this thread, thank you.

I have 4 TFs to check in real-time: 1-tick, 1-second, 5-second and 15-second.

15-sec is my long-term chart, and is a good place to see trend established.

My guess would be that any instruments has its own characteristics, stay focus and discipline to the very specific one is the recipe.
