This is so right – this article is so right.
Beginning, i remember myself trying 30 minutes – 1 hour time frame and you nerve are on and this 12 hour in front of the screen. It’s not relax and it’s also lot of tips for the broker..
Lets pretend we have a strategy that work super well for us at 4 hour, let’s stick it …eventually i can refine the trade entry at 1 hour time frame but noway lower as noise might distract your big picture.

Wonderful article thank you. And all the best.

In reply to Dipo. If you try daily timeframe out, you will see the magic. It takes away stress, figuring out quality entries in your trade.

In reply to Uknowme. Hello Nial, a very big thanks to you for sharing this great indispensable, powerful article here again. I am a 1-hour timeframe trader (with the hope of getting quick bucks and leaving the market quickly, but not knowing that daily timeframe is the best place to make that happen, until I tried trading with it), which has put me into some kinds of confusion and serious trouble of consistent lose of trade. But after reading this article, I went back to try it out, and, lo and behold, it worked really well for me. First, I see quality trade entries so easily. Second, fear of taking a trade is gone. And finally, I have rest applying your "Set and Forget trading strategy". I easily see levels on my chart, which is now helping me greatly to draw my levels like the pros do. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks once again! May you remain blessed in Jesus name.

In reply to Hans. Hans, the dynamics of the daily time frames are very different to intraday timeframes.

By: Hans

Hans — Wed, 11 May 2016 08:28:22 +0000

I agree that higher time-frames should be included in trading, but there is another side to the coin, which is not mentioned here. If you are trading off the daily, you must be mentally prepared to sit through (big) retracements. Not everyone can emotionally withstand the ebb and flow of the market. It is important to find your personal time-frame groove first. I can imagine that for many people this will not be the daily time-frame.

Thanks Nial! Your strategies actually work! =]
Have been following your article a year ago, read again and again, sadly never seen any improvement on my skill because I was keep trying on H1 chart without following the trend, not using money management and with bad RRR.
Last month the idea of finding good RRR popped out of my mind, i try to work it out on how to fit this into market together with a good RRR but only has a little improvement because still trading on H1 chart.
Then miracle happened when i decided to give a try on H4 and higher timeframe chart. Never thought it would be so powerful by using all of them together. It is true that beginner must master daily chart first and learn how the market move before moving to lower timeframe H1 or setting own indicator.
I’m trading with much lesser stress now and higher timeframe give me a little more time to alter my trade if the market change direction. Finally I have little grasp on how the market move and knowing why I failed on H1 chart. Will keep monitoring my performance.

Thanks again Nial!! Thank you so so so much! =]

this article has been helpful to me, because ever since i started using the bigger time frames my profits has been more the my losses less.

I dont entirely agree with this article. Shorter time frames have their own uses and i believe this depends on if you are a day trader, medium term trader or a long term trader. If you prefer to trade on the shorter time frames, you can eliminate some of the “noise” by instead focusing less on indicators and also by waiting for solid confirmation of trends before jumping in. Cheers…..

Good writing. I think 80% of trader start ends with high frequency trading, which hard to manage emotion, account and time.

Hi Nial,

This may be slightly off topic but do your setups and advice to use higher time frames work for trading indexes? ( e.g. FTSE 100)

Really enjoying your articles and tempted to give forex a try on demo account, I started by looking at index trading.

Regards,
Adam

Frankly speaking, those who trade shorter time frame charts are fighting against the ‘big men’ of foreign exchange. So, to keep in tune with them, one need to follow them on the higher time frame charts. What an eye-opening article, keep them flowing. Thanks.

Absolutely true. Quantum physicists know the smaller the time frame, events in nature become more chaotic and unpredictable. At higher time frames, Newtonian deterministic laws kick in. Nature is trying to tell us to stay out of the tiny time frame domain to avoid unpredictable randomness. The same principle applies to trading. Thanks, Nial.

In reply to Bob. Trade a micro account. A small account does not limit your ability to trade higher timeframes, that is often peoples perception, but in reality, account size is meaningless. Your trading is measured in risk reward, so you must adjust position size , thats all you need to do.

By: Bob

Bob — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 03:54:41 +0000

Fully agree with your advice but how does one trade the higher time frames with a small account of say $1K where the stop loss is usually much bigger. Considering a S/L is always a few pips above or below the last high or low candle, on a higher TF of say 4H that would translate to at least 80 or more pips. A few hits and your a/c is wiped out. Pls advice, thanks.

experience traders already know this and they continue to make money using daily graphs, however, this information needs to be reinforced again and again as we get lost in ‘self-confidence’ after going a few months without a losing trade.

beautiful article.
Thanks

Thank you Nial for this last article. It confirms what I have learned the last year of trading. I have been listening to too much noise in the market. Waiting for setups for the beginner sounds like “a lot missed trades”. But I am learning from experience that I would rather miss a few trades and wait on Higher TF setups that are a higher percentage of good trades. Thanks again for all your articles. Mike R.
