Use a top-down approach: higher timeframe (daily/4H) for trend direction, medium (1H/30min) for setup, lower (15min/5min) for entry. Your holding time determines your base timeframe.

Scalpers: 1M-5M. Day traders: 15M-1H. Swing traders: 4H-Daily. Do not mix strategies across timeframes — it creates confusion.
