Hi Pat,
some people here only trade from one TF. I think that that is very dangerous, especially when you are new to trading.
MTF approach is, at least for me, the only trading approach one should go.
If you trade the 5min, you should open a 1 min and a 15min (or30min) chart as well. Yes, it needs some time and training to observe all three TF's, but it will sometime reward you. 15min is for trend, 1min for entry and exits.
with a comment that i'd recommend trading high timeframes (D1, H4) used to identify the direction and than going to lower timeframes (m15 & m5) to find best opportunities for entries. it's hard to get any kind of a decent bias from m5 or m15.
big numbers are our friends...

In fact infinitus encourage me to use 15M, 1M and even 30 M. I'm not sure what Astroman question is all about ???.
Thanks infinitus for pointing me to correct directions
you use either the 15 or the 30. If you like to have a fourth TF the set could look like
1, 5, 15, 1h or
1, 5, 30, 2h

Here my Chart. To see how I trade
Thanks for your concern.
I try my best to diligent with my account.
Now I'm really in mess.
Personally thats way way too much information - I like to be able to see the raw charts clearly - just a few guide lines on them that Ive drawn and thats about it - anything more is far too distracting.
I dont really use indicators below either - just little volume bars.
Each to their own I guess.
