What time frame do you trade and why?

Tokyo open and end, London close, mostly H1 and day charts. Tokyo open often tends to start slow but gives me a general trend..
I trade on daily charts when New York close and then manage my trade on 4H charts it fits my personality and busy lifestyle.
Don`t dream your life, live your dreams!
often small one like 1m 5m 10m 30m
but it depends on the gains and SL
Everyone have different approach towards forex market. Some have more spare time to trade while some have less time. So if you have less time, then choosing longer time frames is best for you.
All of them!

Hi guys, what time frame do you trade (1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, daily, weekly, monthly) and why?
1 hour GJ find is suits the pair and me well.
smaller timefrrames is more stressful i think it is just gambling personalities that like those.
I prefer to use 30m or 1h timeframes.
i use h2 mainly.but also keep an eye on h4 and D chart.
I use m15, h1. It's more optimal for me
4h and d1 are my choices, they help me save a lot of time and increase the winning probabilities

  1. Where I like to enter a trade, I put some lines with alarm on my Daily Chart.
  2. When the Alarm is ringing, I have a look at the 15Min chart to find good entry.
  3. Then I switch back to D1 - In D1 it does not look so frightening, when trade goes against me ;-)

I use 2min for trade entry. 5min to get short term trend, 15 or 30 min for daily trend. And daily chart for longer term overall trend.
I am using D1 TF as I've just started with low capital. D1 provides me with better insights of the market's price actions and more worthy trading setups I could enter and filter out noises in lower TF(random, inaccurate signals).

I will use the weekly or even monthly once every week to see the overall movement of market!
I am prefer M30 time frame for seek some profit but i also want trade with some longer time fram too.

2 min? Omg. I've tried to trade on this time frame and I thought that I am going crazy at that moment.

I dont watch the 2min, just when i enter a trade. I watch the 5min 90% of the time
I trade "End-of-Day", that is once every 24 hours. I trade D1 timeframe and also H1 supply & demand setups, at the end of day, using pending limit orders, "fire & forget" with SL and TP set. There is more on EOD trading on my blog if you are interested.

I'm still demo-ing, but the system I'm currently learning is the 4 Hour MACD. I learned in the first few days of playing with a demo account to stay the #$%@ off of the 1-minute charts. I have found the best results so far in watching the 4-hour charts, then switching up and down to 1-hour and daily charts temporarily to help shore up trendlines that can be used as support/resistance on the 4-hour chart.
