I would suggest keeping charts open on multiple time frames for your analysis. You can take a look at the 4hr or daily charts to distinguish the overall trend and other potential chart patters, while zooming into the 1 hour, 30 min and 15 min charts to find the best possible entry point.

Of course, if you were scalping, you may like to use the 5 minute chart to find those intraday support and resistance points.

Hi. It depends on what kind of trader you are. If you're more of a scalper, then the best time frame to use for entries would be the 10 or 15 minute time frame. But for an intraday trader like me, I like using the 1 hour time frame a lot for my entries. You can also the use the 1-hr chart or 4 hr chart for swing trades.
