Hello
For my trading I normally look at charts on 3 time frames. Daily for the context, 30 Minutes for trend definition & 10 minutes is the trading time frame.
I am comfortable using 30 minutes as trend decider and have stopped referring hourly charts for it.
I am also comfortable using 10 minutes for deciding entry/exit/sl levels for the swing trades.
but for the intraday trades at times 10 minutes seems to be slow, and
my intraday trades seems more to be scale-in//scale-outs of the swing trades . . .
As i do not need to monitor daily TF continuously, I can drop it from the trading screen.
and studying the daily charts can be done before the open.
This free space can be used for a smaller time frame chart . . .
i have many options . . .
5 minutes or maybe 3/2/1
CVB - for BNF 15K to 30K and for nifty 1L to 3L
CRB - for BNF 15R to 30R and for nifty 5R to 10R
Other format charts . . .
My initial problem / reluctance with other formats is when i switch between NF/BNF
i will have to change the parameters like volume/range/brick size etc . . .
but then I can write a small code (AFL) to take care of that . . .
Anyway will start with fixed time frame chart and then see how it goes . . .
so the choice is between 1, 2, 3 & 5 Minutes
1 minute will be too fast, 5 minutes is too common
2 minute seems to be ok for BNF & 3 minutes for NF . . .
But need to go with one, so will try out 3 minutes first . . .
Happy
