What’s the best time frame?
Truly, I don’t know what’s the best time frame to trade. But, now I am using M15 time frame for my trading strategy. In addition, I am getting much better result from others time frame. By the way, it’s really confusing for me, when I get sell single on M15 but see clear buy entry on H1. So, have any suggestion?

Usually traders who use M15 minutes chart they are known as scalper or short term trader. Actually, they only look for small profit for every trade they make and want to settle it within same day. Off course, different time frame will gives you different look of signals. That’s way, you need to use at least 2 charts and compare it to determine the right market trend.
But, I see long time frames are much suitable for knowing accurate market trend. Personally, I follow daily market chart with weekly time frame. So, when I get same trend on this 2 time frames. Only then I open my trade.

for me, the time frame is a representation of the movement of the market price for a specific period. every trader must have had a specific strategy adapted to the selected time frame. Therefore it can be said the time frame is a graphic reflection period on the market movement. time frame you choose determines your trading style whether trading is long or short. I think if you are a novice trader, you can use a shorter time frame. but if you've increased trading between trading time should combine short and long term trading. so you divided the number of investment funds for the two time periods: long term or short term.

Honestly, I have no favorite time frame because I always look for all time fame when I want to make my new trading order. But, as a swing trader I trade based on H4 time frame. Besides,H1, D1, W1 are also useful for my trading analysis. But, I see, most of times I get suitable entry posits on H4.

The most widely used time frame is H1, this is the best for long time traders and this is also use by intra day even for scalper to sort out the market trend. There is no reason that trader can avoid from this timeframe. Personally, I prefer to sort out the trend on bigger time frame and then I come back to my own time frame this is H1.

I am using all the time frame right now. It’s like zooming in and zooming out of the chart. So far, I like 15 minutes to 4 hours time frame. Actually, it depends on the pair volatility. If it’s volatile then I will prefer to use higher TP spread and same time using H4 time frame to check if it’s good to open a position or not.
