@Dollardogs There is no right or wrong way to trade, however here are a few things to consider:

I would not bother with determining the trend on the M1 chart because the trend on M1 is too fragile, and anything on a higher timeframe will take precedence.

Consider mapping out important levels/zones on higher timeframes so you can anticipate where buyers or sellers might come in, and then trade from zone to zone (your setups). Use M1 only to find discounted entries into M5, M10, or, at most, M15.

I would discourage you from trading M1 altogether. It’s typically traders with small accounts who are attracted to scalping for the wrong reasons. If you can’t consistently trade higher timeframes, then switching to smaller timeframes won’t help, and you’ll just end up spinning your wheels.

Trading M1 is very hard, and not the most efficient method to trade (unless one enjoys stress and being married to the monitor).
