    Considering that there's only approximately 6 hours (or 6 hourly bars) in a trading session, it's not practical to daytrade using 1 hour chart. Using 4 hour chart would be suicidal. You must remember that, by definition, daytrading is closing any open trade(s) before the close.

    Most of these stocks gapped up,
    I like to scan for % based on open.

    Vs from previous close. :D

  5. I agree 100% - Hence why i generally don't trade them. 30min range breaks from the open is my preferred weapon for the volume scans

    I agree, good point.
    These are the kind of answers and confirmations I am looking for.
    They help build perspective.

    Yes when I ask a question about cryptos amongst the crypto forums I'm often it with the, "well you have to do the correct analysis" arguement. Then proceed to ask them what that is and nobody answers.
    I do admit though that on the less popular cryptocurrencies they are highly manipulated, and trading signals just are not reliable at all.
    It is the exchanges that are the problem. There's so much intervention and algos running on these dodgy exchanges that I simply don't trust trading the lower alt coin cryptos anymore. Equity market signals are far more reliable in my opinion, thankfully!

    Of course, I totally agree, and that's the sole basis for my question.
