Hi C-12 and all,
thanks for starting this thread - i've often thought it would be great to trade 1 min bars ... the way i see it, it has two massive advantages over higher TFs
1) lots of opportunities meaning you can be more selective
2) able to trade in a large position size and sooner or later you're gonna catch near the top of Weekly S or D![](https://resources.faireconomy.media/images/emojis/64/1f60a.png?v=15.1)
the reason i've not traded 1 min bars was because for some reason i didn't realise ECN brokers gave such great spreads. anyway now i'm ECN'd up and ready to do some damage - so thanks for sharing your ideas
i'd like to post some charts up here as and when if that's ok... i just have one question. you said somewhere up, that you trade mainly GBPUSD and EURUSD and AUDUSD I think it was. I was wondering why you trade the GBP and EUR as they're so correllated - wouldn't you be better off with a Yen pair or something?
Cheers
Dave
