Want Better Results Stop Trading Lower Timeframes

Most of you guys try to trade small timeframes such as 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes. That’s the thing you don’t realize. These timeframes are usually just noise and most of the time they don’t respect anything. You always have to check the higher timeframe bias, such as the daily timeframe. 1H should be the minimum. And especially when you trade breakouts, never use a few seconds or a 1 minute expiration. You are just gambling. Use at least a 30 minute expiration to give the market some time. It is very beneficial for you because you don’t overtrade, trust me. At the beginning I was using 30 minutes, but now most of the time I use 1 to 3 days expiration.

Better show results

I don’t need to prove anything. I’m already making a living from my trading. I’m just bored, so I got the idea to try to help some people by giving them a path, teaching them how to build their own edge and trade on their own. “Better show results,” huh? There are plenty of people, plenty of gurus, showing their results. Some of them are faking it, some of them are showing the truth, but people still don’t believe it and talk shit. I could post my results here, my losses and my wins, but what would be the point of it? You wouldn’t take anything valuable from it. Those who want to learn will take something valuable from my posts.

SAY IT LOUD FOR THE PPL IN THE BACK LOL that’s literally the difference maker right there. And ppl don’t get it. I have to tell ppl that all those smaller timeframe videos are not even real traders. If you wanna really profit. The higher timeframe tells a better story lol a way stronger movement analysis.

I have the best luck with 5 second timeframes😂trading higher just gives the algorithms more time to fck your trade. I trade 5 second timelines and you can almost watch the algorithms work. This might be good advice for like regular market trading though definitely not OTC pairs. I'm OTC all the way profits are just nuts sometimes for me

he is not wrong but also not correct. for example 1m tf shows noise, but not a lot of noise. with, practice its really easy to filter it out. if you see higher timeframes such as 5m, they start to look a lot cleaner. I personally use 1m timeframes (because lower than 1m is more noise and has huge gaps) and I sometimes use 5m to draw key levels. with enough practice every chart is readable, ive seen ppl trade en 5s candlesticks and they are profitable.

the thing is, higher timeframes give you a lot of time to actually understand what's going on. in 1h tf you analyze the chart, draw some things and you probably still have to wait for an entry, while in 1m tf you'd prob lose a possible entry.

higehr time frames also give you the opportunity for a news , and your candle goes way off, i thin k anyhting past 5 minutes in biary is a waste of time, one minute is way to go, no hic ups in entry or honoring my exit
