I'm totally with you on this....100% agree

Quote from cornixforex:

All depends on which signals you observe. For me your statement is not true. Signals on all timeframes have equal relative edge, provided volatility is high enough to give trade room for a movement.

Now we know why neenster posts from a private Island, surrounded by half naked native women. or men, not too sure about that ;-)

Imagine how many hits et would get if instead of the usual horseshit, trades like this hit the board with regularity.

I'm holding my breath.

Quote from flyingiguana:

doesn't really matter what signals you use. a 1 min chart will give off a larger number of possible entries than say a daily chart. there's more erratic movement on lower timeframes.

Quote from cornixforex:

Not larger number of signals in relation to sample number of bars, absolutely not. The only problem with low timeframes can be, when volatility is too low and signal has not enough room for a movement to be worth taking it.

Quote from flyingiguana:

intraday trading vs longer-term trading results in a much larger pool of potential trades. it really shouldn't even be a debate. even factoring in the amount of bars. the data is smoothed out a lot more on daily and weekly charts.

I have nothing against you thinking so.

As for me, relative to the time amount, amount of trades on smaller time-frames is larger indeed. Relative to the sample number of bars, no, if the market is volatile enough, it is not even always possible to distinguish the time-frame if you hide the time and price scale.
