For this question, because everyone's style and temperament are different, the selection cycle is also different. Just these days, I discussed this problem with Mr. Wu, and I still have some views and understandings on this issue.

Everyone knows that the trading cycle in the market is flexible and changeable, which can be roughly divided into months, days, hours, minutes, seconds and so on. Then we can build a framework for these loops and define it. For example, there are four weeks in a month, five trading days in a week, four trading hours in a trading day and four 15 minutes in an hour. If I take the hourly chart as the core trading time frame, I will call the daily chart of the previous level as the large-cycle time frame and the 15-minute chart as the small-cycle time frame.

Because each time frame is continuous, trading is mainly concerned with the trend of the upper and lower continuous time frames. Remember not to jump directly from the monthly chart to the daily chart or hourly chart. The time period is actually a model for us to look at the market trend. For example, the weekly chart can be regarded as a telescope, and the daily chart is close-up, so the hourly chart is a magnifying glass, and the 15 minute chart is a microscope.

First of all, you should clearly know which cycle is the core of your trading chart. If it is an hourly chart, then you should call the daily chart at the previous level a large-cycle time frame and the 15-minute chart a small-cycle time frame. So if you are doing ultra-short line (I mean ultra-short line is between intraday band and high frequency), then you may watch it for 5 seconds, 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, and of course, refer to the hourly level.

Generally speaking, the market in a small cycle is summed up as a trend in a big cycle. If the trend in the small cycle is abnormal (the strength and intensity of the movement mode), the possible changes in the large cycle will be informed in advance. Therefore, no matter how you choose a cycle, you must choose a continuous cycle and never skip it. With more short-term knowledge, you can pay attention to the vast official WeChat account in the future.
