What time frames do you trade? I’m curious because I’m more concerned how each day closes than waiting till Friday’s close.

What time frames do you trade? I’m curious because I’m more concerned how each day closes than waiting till Friday’s close.

I trade all time frames. My screen has a 5min, 15min (which I have minimized and never look at), 30min, 60min (which I rarely look at), daily, weekly, monthly (which I only look at for those big swing trades ie CROX, DRYS, etc. more on that crap here:

Big decisions come from weekly charts.

Intraday decisions come from 5min and 30min charts.

Daily charts have special circumstances that I look for (break up above 21dema after resting on it, yada yada), other than that I find the daily chart to include a lot of noise. This is something that I’ve learned (or personally just works for me) over the last 7 years.
