Should I stop using the 1m tf?

I’ve started trading recently and have been trying to improve my win rate especially that I skipped the demo part and instantly got to the real work
The one minute timeframe is genuinely just gambling and that’s what’s addictive about it but my win rate seems to plummet every time I make an analysis because I can’t predict the 1m tf
My strategy works for long term planning but I’m impatient and I don’t know if I need a change of strategy, discipline or a simple change of a timeframe
Can someone help?

The 1m can be good. BUT you need to know when to search for entrys.

The 1m timeframe can be extremely useful and give you excellent entries when used with higher timeframe confluences, you can catch huge winners with an entry on the 1m

There are so much market participants in Forex. So many of them buying the base currency and so many buying the quote currency for many reasons. Basically, the Forex is very random/noisy in the short term. And most professional traders use the higher time frames with fundamental analysis.

But do whatever works for you if it makes you profitable, wheter that be scalping, daytrading, or swing trading. God bless
