I know that many on this forum like to look at very short term charts such as 1 or 5 minutes. Personally, I find those time frames very unreliable and prefer 60 minutes and sometimes 15 minutes. Of course, we are all guilty of breaking out own rules. Have a good weekend.
So let's say your are seeing a potential reversal point on a 60 min chart. Do you look for the 5 wave decline / 3 wave rally on the same timeframe or do you go to a 15 min. ?

Thank you so much for all your help. I have learnt so much since i have discovered your message board.
