<p>Simple and effective. I would use a strategy in the direction of the trend from one time frame higher. For example, if I am trading on the 4HR, then I would use the Daily as my directional reference point. If I am trading on the 1HR, then I would use the 4HR as my directional reference point. However, there would be times when I would go against the trend, but only under special circumstances.</p>

<p id="isPasted">The concept of a "better" time frame for prediction depends entirely on your trading style and goals: short-term traders might prefer 15-minute charts, while long-term investors often use daily or weekly charts.</p><p>There is no single best time frame, as each offers a different perspective on the market. A successful approach, known as multi-time frame analysis, involves using several time frames together.</p><p>The reliability of a prediction generally increases with the longer time frame you use, as they filter out random market noise and show more established trends. However, combining time frames will provide the most comprehensive view.</p><p><br></p>
