The Importance of Viewing the Trend on Daily and 1-Hour Charts
Recently, Motty has become increasingly active, and his most proficient trading style is scalping using a 1-minute chart.
That said, he does not trade only on a 1-minute chart. First, he looks at the daily and 1-hour charts to confirm the overall trend. Riding the trend on these timeframes tends to yield higher profits, and the support and resistance on the longer timeframes strongly influence the shorter timeframes as well.
As the axis to grasp the 1-minute flow, he uses three EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages). If the three EMAs—80, 240, and 960—are aligned from top to bottom (perfect order), he targets pullbacks for buying on dips.
If the three EMAs are crossing each other, it indicates no clear trend, so entries are generally avoided.
