Hourly with daily or 4-5 hrs timeframe is ok.
We have to understand that the longer timeframe is the set up or filter we use to take trades on smaller timeframes..so till 30 min trigger a downtrend, we wont take short trades. So our entry in short trade will be late and not at the top.So for making good money that trend on larger TF should last for some time ,if it does last long, then we dont make good money.

ok, that means lets say we trade 60M in the direction of Daily.
So we will trade SHORT only when daily starts a downtrend. And on 60M chart this will be some 100-150 points away from top (lets say). And if Daily downtrend does not last long enough, we might not make good money in this SHORT. Less no of trades, but when daily trend lasts, chances of making good money.
But if we trade 60M trend alone, then we might catch this downtrend when price just 40-50 points away from top. But in this approach we wil end up catching the 60m downtrend which will be also a smiple correction on daily uptrend. So here no of trades will be more. But during the time of reversals from daily chart, we might get chances of catching the top and bottom of the market.
Am I right ?? So which style is preferable to start in beginning ?
