I always wonder if\how Traders are profitable using lower time-frames!tmostafa007 wrote: Sun Aug 04, 2024 6:06 pm Is there any way to optimize these indicators to work with the 1-minute timeframe? I really like seeing them align in the same direction.
From my experience (having being a Trader for 20yrs exactly now), trading PROFITABLY using lower time-frames is extremely difficult...if not impossible.
And the reason is simple. Lower time-frames are just full of market noise. Markets have been designed to make Traders fail...due to market noise.
Maintaining a steady equity curve is quite unsustainable in the long run.
Yes, you will make money SOMETIMES.
But ultimately, failure is inevitable trading market noise!
Higher time-frames are more stable.
They are more reliable and offer less noise.
After so many years of consistent LOSSES, I only started making money when I changed my time-frame to 30Mins!
And YES, you can still trade a small account.
You only need to time your entries properly, use mini lots, and increase your stop loss & take profit.
When compounded over time, you will be shocked at how a very small account grows to a big one.
Please have a re-think trading lower time-frames.
Banks don't do it.
Hedge funds don't do it.
The big finance houses don't do it.
WHY SHOULD YOU?
