Using Different Chart Timeframes in Swin...

Brian Montes
About this episode

In this episode, Brian discusses the importance of using different chart timeframes in swing trading. He explains that different timeframes provide different perspectives, with shorter timeframes offering a more granular look and longer timeframes showing broader trends. Daily charts are commonly used by swing traders to identify short term trends and identify entry and exit points.

Weekly charts offer a broader perspective and help confirm (or deny) the trends seen on daily charts. Monthly charts provide a long term view and identify major levels of support and resistance. Integrating multiple timeframes can enhance trading strategies and increase the probability of success.
