Best Timeframe for Trading - Intraday, Options, Swing, BTST | Trade with Purab

"So, for positional trading, the one-month time frame is considered one of the best because here you see what happens, how was the market performing throughout the year or was there liance on it, was there bearish reliance on it, was there bearish sentiment here?"

"But for positional trading, I suggest that you use a mix of these two time frames – one week and one month – so that you know what is happening here."

"So, if you do positional trading which is less than 6 months or less than 1 year, then I would suggest that along with the one-month, you should also use the weekly time frame to look at how the market is moving within weeks and how it is performing in the short term."

"So, if we talk about weekly trading or weekly time frame, then it works best for positional trading. By combining one month and one week together, you can find out entries and analysis correctly for positional trading."

"If you do swing trading, then it is not that useful for positional trading. That is a side, if you do swing trading, especially for swing trading, the one-day time frame is considered one of the best."

"So, the time frame that is majorly used for this is the one-day time frame."

"Now, when you want to trade a short-term movement of one or two months, then you have to see that the market is moving for one to two months. How much will it go within? If you look at the monthly time frame, two months will be over in just two candles. Correct, what will you be able to analyze in just two candles? That is why it is important that you focus a little on swing trading on the daily time frame."

"But on the daily time frame, you can find a lot of trades for swing trading."

"The one-hour time frame is useful for that. Look, even for intraday trading, one-hour time frame is not that useful because intraday, you try to capture small movements within a day."

"So, you have to tick one more time frame for BTST trading and you have to tick for the trades that you take for two to three days or three to four days, okay, understood, you have to tick for BTST trades that is buy today sell tomorrow trades and at the same time if you hold any trades for two-three days, buy and sell, then tick for that"

"Okay, for intraday trading. I think a 15-minute time frame is the best."

"So, you have to keep one thing in mind: the shorter you go, the more you go 5 minutes, 3 minutes, 2 minutes, 1 minute. You can go shorter, you saw there is also a one second option, but does the shorter you go with all these things mean that your trades will be better?"

"Now if you are doing intraday for a very short term, like for one to two hours or even less than that or a little around that, then you can give a little preference to 5 minutes."

"If you do it for a little longer time, like for three to four hours or more than 4 hours, then you should give more preference to 15 minutes."

"Look, a scalper is different, okay, for scalping, a 1-minute time frame will be useful for you because obviously 15 minutes will not be useful there because many people trade for 2 minutes, so if you want to trade for 2 minutes, you want to trade for 3 minutes, you want to trade for 4 minutes, then you don't want to trade for 15 minutes. You'll look at candles. Certainly, 1-minute and 2-minute time frames are useful for scalping."

"You need to find the best breakout, the best breakdown. You need to look for the best patterns. But one thing you have to keep in mind. You should never trade directly on the one minute, nor should you trade directly on the two minutes, nor should you trade directly on the three minutes."

"After finding the entry, you take the trade. You must have understood that 1 minute, 2 minutes, these will help you find out the best possible entries and will help you take trades on the best possible entries."

"After that, if you are doing options trading, the time frame is 5 minutes. Whether you use a 15-minute time frame or a 3-minute time frame, in both, you have to analyze on the 15-minute time frame."

"The smaller the timeframe, the more fake signals you get."

"If you trade 15-minute timeframes, you should also check each hour's timeframe. Similarly, if you trade 5-minute timeframes, you'll also need to check the 15-minute timeframe."

"So, for positional trading, the one-month time frame is considered one of the best because here you see what happens, how was the market performing throughout the year or was there liance on it, was there bearish reliance on it, was there bearish sentiment here?"

"But for positional trading, I suggest that you use a mix of these two time frames – one week and one month – so that you know what is happening here."

"If you do swing trading, then it is not that useful for positional trading. That is a side, if you do swing trading, especially for swing trading, the one-day time frame is considered one of the best."

"And in this you have to keep two things in mind. If we talk about the pros and cons, then here you will see a higher number of trades. You will see more trades. On the weekly time frame, if you go looking for trades which are for positional trades, then you will see very few trades. But on the daily time frame, you can find a lot of trades for swing trading."

"It is also not useful for BTST trades. So, multi-time frame analysis asks us, what did you do first? You checked the one-month time frame and broke it into four parts. There are four weeks in a month, right? So, in a month You'll see a candle. Now, you'll know what happened in that one candle four times. In the weekly time frame, it'll be known in four parts."

"Okay, then comes the one hour time frame. Okay, look, the one hour time frames are completely useless. They are definitely useful, but we just have to explain the pros and cons of comparison. That is why I am mentioning all the points and trying to explain everything. Okay, then comes the one hour time frame. Okay, look, the one hour time frame is used by many people in intraday trading, swing trading, and also in BTST trading for these types of trades."

"So, after one, if we talk about one of the most popular time frames, it is 15 minutes. 15 minutes is the most preferred time frame for intraday traders."

"So, you have to keep one thing in mind: the shorter you go, the more you go 5 minutes, 3 minutes, 2 minutes, 1 minute. You can go shorter, you saw there is also a one second option, but does the shorter you go with all these things mean that your trades will be better? Okay, first let's talk about 5 minutes and there is a lot of confusion about whether you should use 5 minutes. Now see, as we said, you can use 5 minutes in intraday as well. You can use 5 minutes or 15 minutes in intraday, so which one should you use?"

"Look, a scalper is different, okay, for scalping, a 1-minute time frame will be useful for you because obviously 15 minutes will not be useful there because many people trade for 2 minutes, so if you want to trade for 2 minutes, you want to trade for 3 minutes, you want to trade for 4 minutes, then you don't want to trade for 15 minutes. You'll look at candles. Certainly, 1-minute and 2-minute time frames are useful for scalping."

"You need to find the best breakout, the best breakdown. You need to look for the best patterns. But one thing you have to keep in mind. You should never trade directly on the one minute, nor should you trade directly on the two minutes, nor should you trade directly on the three minutes. Here, even in 15 minutes, you know that the market is going up. It is going up in 5 minutes, it is going up in 3 minutes. You have done the rest of the analysis as well. Now you come to the nine minutes and find the best entry. After finding the entry, you take the trade. You must have understood that 1 minute, 2 minutes, these will help you find out the best possible entries and will help you take trades on the best possible entries."

"So, okay, you have to analyze on 15 minutes. After that, you can take trades on 5 minutes, 3 minutes, 2 minutes, 1 minute. And at the same time, smaller time frames will also help you in placing stop losses correctly. So, in this way, 1 minute can give you the best stop loss, best entry and best target."

"So, for BTST intraday and for many people, options trading, but if you do options trading, you have to pay a little attention. You can do 5 minutes, you can do 15 minutes. You have to try out a little."

"because the smaller the timeframe, the more fake signals you get. It could be that the evening star may give you a fake signal, or the morning star, sorry, the morning star may give you a fake signal, saying, no, brother, it told you that it will go up, but you are watching in 5 minutes, the market is continuously falling, but in 9 minutes you see a morning star, so you have to avoid this trap."
