As you wish,but one thing you should know. Paul Tudor is successful because he has a lot of capital, and his main trading is in stocks where everyone knows how stock trading happens which is better known as fried stocks. Hehehe ..
Yes, thank you for the advice

Which forex time frame trading is the best? This is relative and depends on the method of each trader. There are advantages and disadvantages of each forex Time Frame trading. Whatever your choice will be, the principle of Time Frame will always be the same: there are a number of things to watch out for when you use the Time Frame too low, including:
1. Too much noise
    If you compare a 5-minute trading chart with 1 hour, then at a lower Time Frame (5 minutes) you will see signals that appear to be valid, but fail to generate significant Failed Signals. Low Time Frame in this case is less than 1 hour. The reason is because there are many price movements that are less significant than the 1 hour time frame.

2. Difficulty Adjusting Daily Range Average and Stop Loss
    The market moves in a range that can be averaged every day. This average range will always change according to the conditions of market volatility, which can have a direct impact on open positions. Generally, changes in extreme volatility need to be anticipated with the best calculation of risk management, in order to avoid the risk of loss if there is an unexpected reversal. In this case, the problem that is often experienced by daily traders or Scalpers who usually use a low Time Frame is Stop Loss. If it is placed at a distance that is too tight, the possibility of a Stop Loss to be hit will be greater. It will be different if the Stop Loss level is in the range of a higher average time frame, as on the 4-Hours or Daily chart.

3. Low Time Frame Trading Forex Triggers Overtrading
      Regarding the noise mentioned in the first point, trading with a low time frame also tends to cause overtrading. Traders will tend to be tempted to enter when looking at trading signals that are popping up, although it is less likely to be able to generate adequate profits. Therefore, Scalping strategies are often not recommended for beginners, although they look simple and easy. Overtrading can be avoided by not moving too much Time Frame. If you have not been able to discipline and as long as you open up opportunities on every Time Frame with a trial and error basis, then you still need to learn again to make a Trading Plan.
choosing timeframe is depending on your style of trading, are you a scalper, intraday, or even a swing.

Stocks and forex is really different, in stock as an investor only will buy stocks and but in forex as an investor they can buy and sell, with the same opportunity to making a profit, if already understand with the trend behavior, make money with forex is quicker than stocks I think, in addition with leverage

the time frame might determine the outcome of the trade because the time frame is usually adjusted to the trading style used

Trading results will definitely be different for each time frame you choose. Short traders always use small timeframes such as m1, m5 and m15 with a maximum analysis of the H4 timframe.
trading results are definitely different for longterm traders who rely on analysis at higher timeframes.

Time frames have no direct effect, but time frames are very important in doing analysis in forex and time frames are often associated with trading styles or strategies.

as I have used, the time frame is adjusted to the size of the trading capital and also the time frame is very strong support.

The time frame will have a good effect if the trader makes good use of it according to the strategy he has, if the short-term strategy is used then it uses a low time frame and so on.

Much has to be adjusted for the use of time frames because timeframes have a huge effect on trading results.
Apart from capital, we also have to adjust the trading style and trading time, therefore the timeframe must be adjusted properly.

The timeframe distance determines the results, the large trading tf automatically the analyzed price range is also bigger, of course the trading results are higher.

in my opinion the time frame is very important even though it is not the main indicator in trading but its use will greatly help traders in carrying out various styles and types of analysis according to their trading system.

In my opinion, time frames do not have much effect because the use of time frames depends on the style and character of the trader himself.

I think the time frame will not make our trading lose as long as we use it properly, only use 2 time frames so that our trading system is not too complicated.
