ES Setup 1 VS 2 min & Extras

Hi: I trade the ES. I use the 1, 5, 10, 60 minute charts. HW I use the daily also.

I am looking to keep fine tuning my setup and move more toward what is most widely used in emini trading. So I have a couple questions I would like insight into others personal preferences that i have not been able to find answers to.

First is using the 1 min vs 2 min as the smallest time frame to look at for entry. This is my main question, is whether 1 or 2 minute is better?


Next is just about what oscillator and setting to use like Stochastic 14,3 or Williams %R 14?

Finally is whether it would be worth it at all to make the effort to switch to tick charting? I have done the search and have not come up with a definite one over the other answer for the ES.

Anything as far as set up an indicators would be appreciated!

Let me outline what I use:

I use Ninja charting with IB Booktrader.

On the charts I have EMA's/ W%R 14 / MACD

Thnaks for the help.
 
Since you've got Ninja you should take a look at constant volume bars. Each bar is based on a fixed amount of contract volume instead of time or ticks. I find them easier to read price action with.
