The 1-hour time frame is ideal for those who are actively trading the market and will be in front of the computer to watch their trades play out.

Maybe I am doing it wrong, but the false signals I’ve seen on the 1-hour TF seem to happen more often than on the other short-term TFs, such as 30-minute and 15-minute ones.

I think the 4-hour time frame is good for most people, both intraday and long-term traders.

A good trader looks at different time frames and sticks to the longer ones.
But shall we talk in a real manner for once? -
The shorter timeframes are most likely to be much more random then the longer timeframes,
I personally use the daily & weekly timeframes etc..
It is a personal preference.

Not necessarily. One can be a good trader and use only the short time frames for scalping and other short-term trading.

I like action, so 1min tf for me the best, lots of mooves every day.

Lots of moves don't matter....
QUALITY moves matter + short term moves are more random.

in general (correct me if im wrong) usually on my hotforex account i use higher time frames to decide, unless im scalping so its more on 5-15m time frames, but on a regular basis i would say i have 2-3 trades aweek based on h4 and 1d time frames.. and so one.. there are some trades that can stay longer and its slower than most. but doing fine..

I don't agree with that statement since short-term moves tend to be random.

I get cross-eyed trying to follow the 1-minute chart. I like short-term positions, but not that short. I admire anyone who can trade the way you do.

which coefficient do i look at and why? there are daily, hourly, monthly etc. on different websites, and some of those websites don't even have monthly yearly. confusing... i'm looking at hourly trend trades (for now), and 4h soon.

For scalping use 1,5, 15M timeframes, also technical analysis and figures should be applied on timeframe not less than 30M if you want a good ratio of valid stuff

Sometimes random, sometimes not - you have to see the difference.
If you dont see - so it not for you or keep training

"Not For You" ?...
I'm studying fx trading for 8 months already...
BTW - You can't always know.... so "spotting it" Isn't really going to work...
Which Is primarily why I stick to the longer time-frames (Since It Much Less Likely To Be As Random As The Short-Term Timeframes)

If one trades on the smaller time frames they can also do a lot more trades within a given period, so they can, in theory at least, compensate for the occasional randomness.

I use 1D and 1H time frame for trading but for the lower time frame like 30M or 15M is meant for filtering or analyzing.
