Disliked{quote} Slow is good, but the disadvantage is that you are out of sync with real time. So you will tend to close trades for loss or profit earlier and need good time planing. I have that problem. I am highly impatient that why I was feeling most comfortable with the tick chart (raw ticks), so my trades can last from few seconds to 1 minute. But cost and stress factor is too high. But on the other hand less variables will interfere into your trade. If you have a trade open for 1 day, you have unlimited count of variables coming in including time...Ignored
So, we have:-
Tick charts: real-time advantage, less variables to interfere with a trade but high cost, high stress & danger of over trading.
Day trading M5 to M60 - lots of variables: time of day, market working hours, news, influences from other markets, more types of traders, big players games, etc plus more screen time & patience required.
Longer term trading off daily or weekly charts - avoids much of the variables you mentioned & requires little screen time but requires a different type of patience (different to screen time patience).
So, longer timeframes are I think easier to be successful with but if you have the mindset for it & can achieve a good win/loss & R:R, then short time frames will make you more money. But if you don't have the mind for it they will probably send you broke.
