I've been finding that trading the 1 minute charts, at price points identified by the 5 minute charts, works pretty well.

I used to just use 1 min charts, but always got burnt in:
- Missing the good entry points for the larger movements
- Staying out of patterns in the 1 min chart that by itself looked like a possible trade, but then turned out to just be chop.

Looking at the 5 min (and longer) charts to guide trading in the 1 min chart is working well for me so far.

thats kinna filter out some of the trades...and also determine on the trend that day and focus either on buy or sale particular only to be more accurate...

I like to flip between the 1M, 5M, and 15M. 1M is very precise so it gives you a good idea of exactly what the price is doing. This is usually what I draw my trendlines and stuff in. The 5M is useful for vsa and getting a look at the slightly larger picture. 15M you sometimes see things that aren't clear on the 5M. Don't commit to one TF, its a really good idea to get used to flipping between a bunch. I spend probably 80% of my time watching the 5M, but I will frequently flip between them all quickly.

and what about using charts, based on some number of ticks? 144-tick chart for example and so on
does anybody here use it in scalping?

try studying up on ADX DMI and apply it to a 15 minute chart. Wait for a clear signal when New york opens and scalp for 10 pips...
