All Market Reversals Begin on the 1 Minute Chart

The principles of successful stock speculation are based on the supposition that people will continue in the future to make the mistakes that they have made in the past.

Stock speculation is inside information

This is wrong reversal occurs when majority of investors (mostly including big institutional investors) start to believe in long-term reversal and therefore change supply/demand balance either starting to buy or starting to sell in big volumes.

You may find the lowest or highest point of a long-term and zoom it into 1-minute time-frame but this is not the point whether reversal occurred. It could be the point when one of the "Big Guys" extra money to buy or to sell, but there is no way that at that point you can say this is a reversal. If other institutional investors pick up this action them we may have a reversal, but this is the longer than 1-minute process for long-term trends, and it can take even several months, especially at a long-term resistance level.

But there is a point on the one minute chart where the actual high and reversal occur. Is it your contention that it can't be known at the time?

Yes, and all the wrong signals too.

Practical profitable point; but get enough minutes on a 200 day moving average, maybe good trend ........................................................................

What difference does it make: tick or 1 minute or whatever?
A reversal may or may not occur, even when it looks like one.
Play it, if you please, and set a reasonable stop or wait for the new trend to appear.

Which is the correct one minute chart reversal to take that is the beginning of a long term reversal?

And I think this is why day-traders focus so heavily on this 1 minute chart. However, most do not use other time frames to confirm context etc and so most 1 minute chart signals are not good ones for your typical day-trader to use.

Reversal signals do not exist. Things can change direction but nothing in the world can ever reverse, strictly speaking. It only ends when it begins anew. You can use the term reversal but what your looking for is a change in direction and momentum. How and why do things move in one direction? Then when the how and the why has flipped it will move in the other direction. Various time frames can be used to to see a change in direction but they have nothing to do with each other.
