How do you trade?
Do you scalp, intraday, swing, or position trade?
No roboters please.

weekly & daily for trend, 4H st trend, 15m entry.

try to hold until change in 4H direction, if decent enough pippage, hold on and add more trades on dips else, take profit.

trade using volume, gann swings, s&r and "obvious" candlesticks

I love the 15m and 5m time frames, but usually have a few trades going based off of the daily/weekly.

Although I tend to trade daily, there are times when I go as a far as a week as far holding a lot is concerned. Perhaps, it's got a lot to do with my strategy which centers around fundamental analysis.

Daily and weekly, as narafa mentioned, is indeed a great way to trade. Although it might not be the best for everyone.

I like to look at the hour for the trend using 2 ema's. Then look at the 5 minute for a valid retracement and i'm in.

been using the 5m with scalping but interested in learning to trade for bigger targets which will probably require going to bigger time frames
