Time Frame dilemma

Hi,

new to FF, going to be asking alot of questions, and then contribute some

I trade Eur/Usd, and my trades last from 5 - 20 hours. My price targets are usually 30 - 80, and my stop losses are 30 tops. since i trade momentum, most of my stop loss are below 20.

For other who are more experienced out there trading on the same timeline and make same average pips as I do. What time frames do you find most effective?

I currently use D1, H4, and H1. next monday, I will test some other frames myself, but at the meantime inputs are appreicated

I personally would say that trading anything higher than a 1hr chart with a stop less than 30 pips may be slightly tight. It is important to allow the trade to breathe.

I personally base my trades on the 1hr and have a stop (normally) no larger than 30 pips, my target is also 30 pips. I do however use the larger timeframes but my entries are fine tuned and based on the 15min charts and sometimes the 5min. It is important for me to have a small DD on losses, so i always pick my entry very carefully, using price action as a basis, i.e 1-2-3 entries.

Do you find yourself getting stopped out on trades that would have gone on to bring in good profit?

Lastly i believe it is important to have a decent set of rules that you always obide by, this takes out the discretion from the trade, i.e if your rules are fulfilled then you trade it, if not you dont.

I accept the last statement is MUCH easier said than done..

Hope it helps
