A lot of people claim to trade the 5m charts successfully. I'm not one of them.
I believe that the general consensus is that the lower the TF, the more difficult it is to trade.
I would not recommend anything lower than hourly charts for those new to trading.

there are no time periods which are proved to be successful. it all depends on the trader/system/trading philosophy, etc


try it yourself, try different things, experiment, stop asking to be spoon-fed. that will get you nowhere.

There isn't "right" time frame. There are people who are sucessful on some time periods and there are those who are unsecesful. You have to try every time frame and see which one works for you.

Really agree with you. Initially I also tried different different time frames. But Finally 1Hr and 4Hr worked for me.
