  1. Curious what the most commonly most used time timeframes are... This is for traders of stocks to equities futures.

    I have read that it is the 3m, 5m, 15m, and 60m are the most common. I prefer the 15m and 60m.

    If you use multiple timeframes just select the primary one you trade your signals off of.
     
  2. Interesting that you totally ignored the higher timeframes 4H D and W. They are tremendously helpful. I'm just saying.
     
  3. I do glance at the daily and weekly timeframes.

    The most important timeframes to watch are the ones that the majority of traders are watching.

    Otherwise it's impossible to properly judge how much fear/euphoria they are feeling.
