Hi guys.....i have a question related to japanese candelstick chart patterns reliability. I think that on lower time frames (5 minutes or less) there is too much noise and price movements can be too nervous for chart pattern to be used with a good reliability. Which is the lowest time frame i can use to get effective infos from chart patterns (given that anyway i have to use them with a grain of salt)? 1h?1d?....

Thanks in advance
It depends on the target you are going to reach. Technical analysis is useful for long term profit targets, so you can set high number of TP and SL then wait until it is reached. H1 to H4 is enough.. watch the pattern as basic for decision.
But if you are going to do scalping then M5 to M15 is enough. You better not set TP and SL but watch the charts as it move towards your target.

this relates to the pattern in each timeframe, because every timeframe there must be a hidden pattern there, and this means that every timeframe there must also be any pattern of it, mostly if I see it like a harmonic pattern

in my opinion the time frame selection must be adjusted to the trading style that we choose, for example we like to do scalping, then we will choose a small time frame and vice versa

For me trading it is a matter of comfort, so we have to find the system and time frame that is right for us so we can comfortably run it

Each time period there must be such a thing as a chart pattern you can find when you have learned about chart patterns.

Using a pattern chart for trading for me can run on all time frames, but if in a large time frame it can be more profitable

The greater the time frame we choose the longer a pattern will be formed

In a certain period of time there must be such a thing as a chart pattern, that's what you have to analyze

but this will also provide a very large profit potential
