When trading multiple time frames a general rule is that the longer
the time frame, the greater the probability the signals being given
are correct. As you decrease the time period of your charts, they
become more impure with false moves and market noise. Ideally,
traders should use a longer time frame to determine the primary
trend of the market, and then use a shorter time frame to enter and
exit the market. If you are able to identify the "big picture" you
can stay in trades longer returning larger gains from the Forex
Market.
There
are three time frames that are generally looked at when trading the
Forex Markets: Long Term, Medium Term and Short Term.
Long Term Charts
can be characterized by the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly periods.
Fundamental usually have a significant impact on the direction of
the long term charts. If you are trading using the long term charts,
you should monitor the major economic releases and trends of that
particular pair economy.
Medium Term Charts
can be characterized by the 1 hour, 4 hour, and 8 hour periods. Of
the 3 periods, the medium term time frame is the most versatile.
Both the short term and long term time frames trends can be obtained
from this level.
Short Term Charts
can be characterized by the 1 min, 5 minute, and 15
minute periods. As with the long term charts, fundaments have a
large influence over price action in the short term charts. The
short term time frame will have increased volatility to economic
releases. Often, sharp moves can occur for a very short period of
time causing increased noise and poor trading signals.
Once you have
identified the underlying trend you can choose a multiple time
frames that fit your trading strategy. Some examples of multiple
time frames used together are:
Day
Trader could trade off a 1 min charts and
use the 15 minute charts to define the primary trade. Also you could
use short term tick charts and use 5 or 15 minute charts to define
the trend.
Swing
Trader could trade off the 60 minute
charts while using the 4 hour or 8 hour charts to find the primary
trend. The trader could also use daily charts to define the
underlying trend.
Position Trader could trade off the daily
charts while focusing on the weekly charts for the larger trend.
Monthly charts can also be used to determine the underlying trend.
The
selection of which group of time frames to use will be unique to
each trader. Although, which ever time frames you choose to use can
drastically improve your probability in making a successful trade.
