Swing Traders usually have better blood pressure levels and less stress 😂

I am professional forex trader (ahem or so it says on the certificate hen you win a challenge lol) and I Concur. I have spent 10 years on the 1 and 5 minute charts and when I transitioned to the hourly, MY LIFE HAS CHANGED. no anxiety, less mistakes, big big winners.

I'll chart mostly 4HR and 1HR. I'll buy/sell a position watching the 15min time frame.

Longer the time frame Stronger the move 🔥

you can use 5 min to time placing your best position, and use 1h or 4h or daily for long term hold

Exactly. 5/15/30 min is good for quick scalping for fun etc, but the 1hr moves are legit moves, an accumliation of all those breakouts you'd react to in a lower timeframe. Stressful and 24/7 screen time. I saw an interview with a successful trader today, and he trades on the 4 hr chart. Goes and does whatever in between. Like the gym, playing with kids etc. Less trade's, less stress and less losses.

This is why I use the 1 Day time frame 😏

I hate waiting longer, I want to see results immediately so, I trade 3m to 15m time frames. It works for me.

The longer you hold a trade, the riskier it becomes. Since you have less trades on a 1 hour chart, 1 bad trade can set you back far. Since you can accumulate more trades with a 5 minute chart, it will take a multiple number of trades to set you back.

1 min trade is the time frame where I made the most of money. High density data gives you advantage predicting the trends.

The key is to have ONE higher timeframe = For OVERALL market direction & Main Structure. ONE medium = Additional Confirmation & ONE lower timeframe = For Entry Confirmation.

I made this switch about 5 months ago due to a better day job and holy moly this really changed my life.

I’ve noticed if you trade Forex and use the hour, the results are better and you find more pips. Only negative is you have to wait for your signal and that could happen at a odd hour like when your sleeping. It might take 2-3 days before finding the signal again

I use bigger time frames to see the range of the most visible gap up or gap down and smaller time frames to buy or sell out of a position

Couldn’t agree with you more!!!! I honestly don’t know how people trade the 1m. When I was on it once, I felt like I was drinking water out of a fire hose!

If you use a stochastic and catch the 5 min. 15 min and hourly in the oversold area then the moves are much stronger.

As a 5m trader I’ve placed 0 trades this week and 3-4 last week. I also have set rules in place that help keep me profitable and look for the best setups. I also only trade the London kill zone so pretty much volume off the open from a poi and proper Conf. Helps keep me super disciplined and lines up with my life while not killing my sleep. I used to have like 5+ trades a day but once you create a proper edge it filters out A+ setups from the rest

I use 15m to 30m for intra, Swing by 1h, 4h, 1D and 1W... Invest : 1 month for trend, 1D-30M for entry

This is so timely as I have gone from a 4min chart to a 60min chart and already feel more relaxed, taking less trades and overall better performance

It might feel like it holds more weight but I think you will find the 1 hour and 5 minute breakout could probably look the same at different intervals. By that I mean, if you go back and look at a 1 hour breakout on a 5 min interval, you would probably see the fake outs/reversals that would normally cause you to panic and stop out it’s just that on a 1 hour time frame, you don’t see those smaller fluctuations and so you don’t get so spooked. It’s the same but for a reversal to show, it has to be a lot bigger. On 1 hour things are just smoothed out. Someone working on a 1 day, 1 week or 1 month might look at 1 hour fluctuations and panic the same way you might be over 5 min. Also, it could have broken out up to an hour ago so by then you should be pretty sure that it’s a breakout which probably gives it the weight you speak of

The TF impact is not really what people like to share. Smh this info is really important, especially for new traders . Thank you Tory. God bless you.

Completely agree. I still trade the 3-5 minute chart because it’s less risk and Ofcourse less reward. I still trade at high volume to cut market little slack but I’ve made more money off the 1H with less work vs my normal high volume trading patterns. 1H is a good place to be to calm the mind a little more than the stress of trading by candle (if you would)

The hourly chart helps me keep calm and have better entries

You keep popping up on my shorts with good information you’ve earned my subscribe

Longer the time frame, longer the trend.

Thats the beauty of 5 minute trades . Its a whole different concept to trade in extremely short time frames . Normal technical concepts doesnt apply to them , and alteration to approach is necessary which when applied to longer time frames , works like a charm .

Higher time frames always gives trust more than lower time frame

You are absolutely right

I get “trading styles” but the charts talk to you Sometimes they’re saying run a 3 min, sometimes 15, sometimes 1-1/2. The support, volume, and price action with maybe FDX is all you need to see it.

My best choice when I started to operate 15m, sure one hour is my next goal. Tks for information

The 4h is something else def my favorite

Why all smc traders wont look into "HTF" only analyse and trade in short time frames ?

I trade on the 1hour as well combined with supply and demand zones. when I get stopped out I get more contracts playing the other side....never fails so far

If you trade anything less than one hour I feel like you still have to analyze one hour

You are absolutely Dam Right.. always appreciated your kind thoughts. Thanks a lot.

I was over trading as well. The one thing you said has helped me so much. You said " you always leave money on the table". Thats everhthing right there. I no longer try and hit the top and bottom and am eay better at taking profit now. I used to feel like a failure if i didnt call every stock perfectly woth highs and lows. As simple as it is its just that simple haha.

Thank you for this clarity ☯️

loving these short vids .. thanks 😊

Love your videos! Any insights on how to select the stocks for trading on 1hour timeframe.

Switched to 2 min, instead of 1 min. Naked trading. No indicators. Bagged +$4.6k/today in NG natural gas. Love your vids. Appreciate your work, trading psychology, openness, and trend line style 👍

You're smart! Longer time frames are more chartable

I like to use 5 and 15, I feel like limiting your self to one is pointless. Small ones are better for entries but I always make sure my trade is following a direction in the bigger picture aswell. That’s one mistake I’ve caught for a lot of my losing trades, I’ll get lost in the smaller time frames, take a trade and then I’ll zoOm back pair and realize the 15 or 20 tells a whole different story. Check multiple time frames!

Yes! Less stress makes a trade walk away

I agree with you, the lower time frames can get really really messy

Time to transition to the 1 minute timeframe for the ultimate challenge. I'm joking, it's hell down here

I used to trade the one min chart and got chopped up more often than not. These bigger time frames are definitely the way to go. You only need a few good trades a week

4 hour and higher candle stick patterns are legitimate and when choosing entry point you can go at lower timeframes depending on your bias

Even for scalpers the one hour time is the best to go off .use 5 minutes for entries or pull back when there’s strong bullish or bearish candle on the 1 hr

Longer time frames confuse me. Like the hour time frame, do u include candle sticks from extended our or not

You look so cute with those glasses. Great content. Thank you!

i totally agree with 1hr vs 5min less noise candles less static signals

I often use the rsi for any divergences to figure out if a trend is changing

Trade the 4hr for this reason. Each to their own. That's the great thing about FX.

These are all great points.

trade with smaller TF , smaller SL we have to deal with compare to bigger time frame. depend on how much you willing to put as the SL

Do whatever works for you.

4H team ---------------------- 👉

Love it! It makes sense. I did a 4hr and it felt different and I seemed to be more confident in my trade.

The transparency 🎯

No doubt! Same experience!

Ross Cameron trading in a 10 second timeframe

Haha my problem right now

Good idea I started practicing on a higher time frame yesterday. I wanted to feel calmer during a trade and not force myself out or set my s/l too low.

Hey dude i have a question are you using 1 hour trend line startegey or 4 hour , when you pick the Trade if 1 hour break out or 4 hour break out

Me personally as a fib intraday trader the 5 min is perfect there’s usually only one setup a day that happens. With each stick being 5minutes it will take a whole day for a full swing and retrace to complete. The accumulation distribution at either the 50,61.8,65% levels will usually last 30-60 mins before retracing. On the 15min and one hour it takes days sometimes weeks so those are usually too high of a timeframe to trade that style daily. I use a 2000 tick on NQ for entries as it mimics the 5 min. I used to try to do this stuff on a 1 min and 950 tick. Being that close to the market was hell. I blew up so many prop accounts it was ridiculous.

What happens when it has a breakout at 3 in the morning when you're sleeping?

😂 😂 Same same switched from 5 minutes to 15 and now safe landing in 1 hour it looks sweet

Love this channel

So true. Bc lately I found myself using the 1hr time frame a lot

Are u waiting for pullback in one hour or you enter right after the breakout?

Never trust a trader with a Supreme mic. Lmfao

Woooooh ❤🎉

I feel on the Higher time-frames,like 1 hour,and so on,we get to see a genuine and a solid movement of the market. On the 5 mins time frame and less ,is filled with a large representation of the higher timeframe's candle movement with more noise a bit. So I do my analysis on the 1h and then I head to the LTF like 5 min for my entry and x2 confirmation (i.e after my first confirmation on the Htf.)

Thank You!

How long?? Thx wishing all d best

Check this out. I use 512tick then 2,5,15,30min and 1hr but try to trade off larger times frames. If I’m skittish of markets it seems like it’ll take a rip then pullback so far it seems like a loosing trade right away. Hence we’re always loosing. My fix is to let them pullback where I wished I entered “after” the move occurred and just set it there. So many times it’ll hit that breakout area before letting market go. Big ol wick right to my entry then it really dips down because other side got a break even so got out of positions and that’s why 50% pullbacks happen. Pros don’t loose they scale in changing break even market and take profit off one position then break even on other at the 50% pullback. Early bird exit is when they double down at opposing side of market bringing break even down to 68% or so. Fibs show exactly what’s happening but only help after trades have taken off. Good for measured moves too where double the price action of day and see if lines up with trendline or expected move of day or 200ema etc.

I look at the 30min to base decisions off of. The only time I look at 5min are in the first half hour of the day.

But the other chart showed you use 4 hours? So which one it is?

This is accuracy 😂

Thanks for the advice :)

But how do you take entry and exits? Without lower time frame you cannot properly entry exit

I do both, swing and quick

Just subscribed to your channel, do you have any live where you are trading in real time? I want to learn more about your techniques

Do u exit all trades at end of every day?

That's great i will work on that. But is 4hrs timeframe better for trading or investing.

Do we have to wait for candle closing on 1 hour time frame

I usually get caught up overtrading in the lower time frames as well and less in higher time frames and always have more success in lower time frames and my anxiety is a lot less and trades are less forced. Good stuff. The Googles must of heard my complaining about my recent trading cause now you have showed up in my feed. All hail Google lol

What r ur thoughts abt signals like what if we get signals that r actually good ?

Nice Tori you are my inspiration

If a prop firm like Apex requires you to be closed out of all trades each day by 5pm EST not sure a 1hour would work? What would you recommend in this case?

Hey Tori. Do you trade a bounce off of the trendline (reversal) as well or strictly breakout?

The patience in waiting.. is the problem

love the videos! could you possibly make a video on risk management or how to just be a better options trader? the day trading video was great

True

Do you place a stop loss in system?

Time is fractal.

How about 30M or 15M Which one is best? For a beginner.

When did you switch from 1h to 4h?

Thanks

How much capital did you need to get started
