I wanted to ask how you personally do that if you don't mind. do you go to the one minute chart or use some indicator?
Hello ampris2000
My reply was intended to particular situation of TraderABC
I recommended swing for him. And it is really important for a swinger to look for supports and resistances (on the longer time frame chart) as they mark lows and tops. Oscillators are used for the same purpose to show overbought/oversold conditions.

Time scale you use depends on the personal situation and depends on various factors (a bit out of topic of this thread).
Swingers do not look at 1-minute chart - it is for scalpers
