Thread: Relevant timeline/TF for analysis

Hello to all. .
Actually, there is something keep bothering me about when and from when to begin the analysis. .

As we all know, there is HH, HL, LH and LL at a chart. .
Im always conduct an analysis based on 1H to 1D or W for technical analysis.

But the question is, even if we take a look at 1D chart by way of instance, what is the starting point of the date we ought to count from? I mean the applicable starting date to be count of?
Is it start the analysis from 4 days past until current activity?
From if I should count that movement as a greater High from instance, can it be out of High from 4 days past? Or if there was Higher High last week, can it be applicable and do I need to count that as the first Higher High and count it to the analysis?

If some of you do not understand what Im trying to inform, I'll post some screenshot for improved understanding.

Ty.

2 Attachment(s) The time frame between swing low and high has all to do with how you will trade it. The determining factors are

(1) how wide of an SL you are comfortable with
(2) how long you'd be ready to hold the ranking
(3) exactly what your profit goal is

I will also present the EURUSD daily chart, however in a much expanded view. Note the swing highs/lows are much different if considering this expanded view which covers much more time.

I'm not recommending trading these swing highs/lows and holding positions for months. However, my purpose is, you need to ascertain the above 3 factors in order to determine swing highs lows, and they will need to create sense with how you are trading.

By way of instance, if you are holding a position for a couple hours your SL may be tighter, and profit goal closer to entry, than if you are holding for 3 months.

Edit: I submitted and H1 chart, but the same principle applies in the event that you expand D1 chart, so I included that to. Additionally, I just put arrows quickly without giving much thought, simply to give an idea of likely swing high/low points. I believe it shows the point concerning how time frame is very key. Even if one doesn't trade off of charts, they would have to realize this principle concerning the way to trade any currency pair. Just how much does it go? And how long does it typically require it go? How volatile? All associated with timing...

I believe we're only reading the question differently which is why I pointed that out right away when I reacted.

Here's the question he asked: but the question is, even if we take a look at 1D chart by way of instance, what's the starting point of this date we should count from? I mean the applicable starting date to be rely of?
I didn't believe he was asking how to trade the swing highs/lows, how to seem @ 1 timeframe determine just how far back in time to begin counting the swing factors. I'm reading his question wrong.

Maybe to answer the question differently, begin looking @ your swing points out of the previous one created last marking HH/HL until you have sufficient points to produce the pattern you're looking for. So for an uptrend to begin in EU, at this point you need a HH followed by a HL.

thx guys. .
So, its depend upon the timeframe that I want to use.

I didn't believe he was asking how to trade the swing highs/lows, how to look @ 1 time determine how far back in time to begin counting the swing factors. I'm reading his question incorrect.

haha. .
Both of the answer quite related to the question even it is not really what im looking for. .
Yeah, thats the thing I would like to ask exactly.

However, the things about the span both of u are talking about make sense and I could accpt that.
thx btw.

I mean that the applicable beginning date to be rely of? I didn't believe he was asking the way to exchange the swing highs/lows, just the way to look @ 1 timeframe determine just how far back in time to start counting the swing points.

No difficulty. I see your point, in that you just examine the swing highs and lows, which I agree with, however I don't think that it answers the question, and you confessed in your post the uncertainty as to whether you understood the question. Again. No issue.

So, it is definitely pertinent to time, and very important to think about that. If a person does not understand how time should link to swing highs/lows, then they'd have this type of question. The question was specific to the time factor. I don't think saying it does not matter is a fantastic answer.

Yes. But not just time period that you want to use, i.e. H1 or H4, or even D1, but for how long you would like to hold your position, wherever your SL are, and what your profit goal would be.

I mean I understand some traders who trade from H4 and endure for weeks or months. But you could also exchange H4 and only hold for many days.

Again. No issue. Therefore, it's surely relevant to time, and very important to consider that. If a person doesn't know the time should relate to swing highs/lows, then they would have this type of question. The question was specific to the time factor.

Yep, if you're searching for a particular number of days or candles, there is absolutely no reply to that. It would depend on price movement, and also the time it requires price to move, and all the other stuff I already posted about.

Here is actually the point I was trying to create :-)
