⏱️ The time period is the underlying logic of the trading system, not a decoration.
For short-term views, 30 seconds, 3 minutes, and 5 minutes are very common.
For swing trading, choose 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 4 hours;
While trend trading usually relies on 4 hours, daily, or even weekly charts.
Key point: The period you choose depends on your strategy,
not just whether you want to make quick money or slow money.
Every period has opportunities, but you cannot catch them all.
More signals will only conflict, and the more frequently you switch, the easier it is to get confused.
🕵️♂️ Finally, a friendly reminder about a small pitfall:
Some people keep talking about charts of 2 hours, 5 hours, and 12 hours, which can basically indicate that their fundamentals are not solid.
The more of a beginner you are, the more you like to 'invent' these strange periods without consensus.
