Re: a case for the one minute chart...
or do I need confirmation from multiple time frames?
I had to stop and think about that one for a little.
My answer is no...
If you're watching the 1 minute with intent to trade it but you're also waiting on the 3 or 15 to confirm...you might as well just play the 3 or 15. Otherwise you defeat the purpose of watching the 1. The reason for playing the 1 should be get in closer to the point of "wrong" ie. to limit your risk to as much as possible and the way you do that is get in as close to whatever it is that clues you off to take the trade ie...double top in the zone etc.
Here might be an interesting thought, can I trade the 3, 15 trigger after I'm in at the 1. In other words...take the trade when the 1 says so...then when the three triggers...take that one, too...same for the 15. A form of pyramiding.
