Multiple Timeframes



When comes to choosing best time frames for trading, we should consider which one works well with our personality.

Trading time frames are usually categorized into 3 types:
  1. Long-term.
  2. Short-term or swing.
  3. Intraday or day-trading.

Time Frame Breakdowns
It depends on your personality.

Long-term
Traders will usually refer to daily or weekly charts.

Advantages
  • Don't have to watch markets intraday.
  • Fewer transactions means less paying or spreads.
Disadvantages
  • Large swings require large stops.
  • Usually 1 or 2 good trades a year so patience is required.
  • Bigger account needed to ride longer term swings.
  • Frequent losing months.
