  1. Re: How To Make Day-trading Easy

     

    It seems to make sense that a different system would be appropriate during less volatile market conditions, i.e. sounds good to focus on specific times with a specific system. For one thing - during slower times you need more patience !

     

    What I have a lot of trouble understanding is what timeframe is best to trade...ideally I would like to be in breakeven fast (within a couple of minutes), but to make the bigger gains and to improve the risk/reward ratio it seems like people trade with at least 15min bars, the volatility (ATR) at that TF is obviously bigger than on 1min, so it takes longer to be able to move the s/l above break even without a huge risk of getting stopped out....also there can be massive swings during the active market times (london us overlap) - What timeframe are people using for these active markets ?
