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: http://www.stockrake.com/chart-fest-726~2007~07.html) 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. I trade all time frames.

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