5 or 10 minute candles for intraday trends?

[murray t turtle]

I doesn't matter what tf's others use, what matters is what tf's allow you to best to see price action reflecting your own signals. Play with different minute and transactional (tick, volume etc.)variations until it looks good to you. Think of it like a trip to the optometrist.

Big dis-advantages of 5 minute candles; too fast /too MUCH noise to profit ratio+Don Bright DayTrading hated it also-too slow LOL.

I use it some times, when you have to; 2:55 CST have to to get in/out. But really i dont like to cut it that close/last minute.
