Suitable time frame for scalpers and day traders?

[Kevin Pietersen]

Although, I have been three years in this business but, still I am not sure that how can scalpers and day traders be able to watch the trading chart if they use (scalpers) low time frame like M5 or M15, that really useful for them? By the way, personally I am a swing or positional trader and use main H4 time frame and this is very relaxing with my trading system.

I only need to check my trading chart every 4 hour. But, what do you do, when you depend on small time frames like5 minute chart? In the past, I was quite stressed out with short timeframes because; I need to watch them all of the time. So, if you use lower time frame, you check the chart every five minutes or what?

Well, I am a scalper but not believe M5 or M15 time frame. I open my trade based on H1 and H4 even D1 timeframe. Basically, I follow my indicator based trading strategy that clear to me market trend. Though, I am a scalper. That’s way, most of times I close my running trade within 15 minute. Besides, 30 pips is my maximum trading target while my SL size is 15 to 20 pips (maximum).

[Ricard Dorman]

I have seen, M30 time frame is the ideal time frame for scalper or short time trader. On the other hand, D1 will the best selection for day trader. But, I believe your may select your time frame according to your trading system. You should test so many time frames to know the best one for your trading strategy.
