I prefer to analyse various time frames, but my favorite ones are 15Minute and Daily. The rest depends on currency pair I'm trading, so for example on EU it is 1H/D, on GJ it's 15M/D etc etc. But If I were to choose only one time frame, I would go with daily

Daily offers the best profit to loss to spread cost ratio for my indicators.
Tried the 1,2,3 and 4 hr charts but the house was the big winner with the spread.

4 hour

You should include this option in your poll, more used than the 3 hour option.

1hr, 4hr, 1D, the way i see it, the more timeframes you have in mind, the better idea you have of whats going on.

I use all timeframes in reality. Each timeframe has a different purpose for determining trades. But the 1 minute or even 30 second chart is up on my screen most of the time and I glance back at the other timeframes if need be.

Thank you.
I'd like to contribute an answer to your poll, but in reality I trade MTF and attribute using multiple time frames to my success. I don't see how anyone can trade without it and make pips.

I have my charts setup with the 1H, 4H and D as the primary
and the 15M and 30M as the secondary.

Using MTF and the "Blue Groove" w/ stochs works for me.

Thanks,

I have had some good time scalping some crosses recently (allocating small amounts) ...best way to trade during ranging markets!! I look at 1 min and 5 min for fun though.
5 - 30 sec? you're the man!

I am wondering, what percentage of trades turn out not to be profitable?

thanks buddy!!
