    For the active Day traders in S&P -E Mini, what time frame do you use to Day trade...? ...For example, do you use Tick by Tick, 5 min, 15 min, 30min, etc ? Also , what chart pattens do you apply ?

    the pattern i look for is consistently rising or falling bars. when i have found them though, it is usually too late

    :confused:

    Ascending & descending triangles

    time frame reversals ~ 10:30 am, and ~ 3 pm and ~ 3 am est being most consistent

  6. I use all time frames, nothing shorter than 15 minutes though.

    The only chart patterns that I regularly use (90% of the time) are support/resistance, and ascending/descending triangles.
