Adding more will just confuse the geewillikers out of you and you'll suffer from analysis paralysis, then proceed to go crazy.

Few as u asked even work on 1 mins candle,but in my opinion in 1 min candle being a. Intraday trader u have. To take every trade signal that is getting generated on ur chart and u need to check the final accuracy after the day is closed.

Few prefer even 5 mins candle where signals are preety more generated than a 15 mins signal so more chances of trading and avoiding false alerts becomes a bit difficult.

I prefer 15 min candle,as it will generate less and powerful signals that works for me.

Traders often use a top down approach starting with long a timeframes for trend identification and gradually zooming in to shorter timeframes for entry and exit points

Some traders may focus on one specific timeframe that aligns with their trading style, while others use a combination to get a more comprehensive view of the market.

For example, a trader might use a daily chart to identify the overall trend and a 1-hour chart for precise entry and exit points.

Each timeframe provides a different perspective on market trends and volatility. Traders often use higher timeframes for trend analysis and lower timeframes for entry and exit points.

Can't use 1 timeframe because you need a comparison factor against another timeframe so you don't get caught in a false breakout or fakeout structure

single timeframe is suitable if we use a scalping strategy. because we execute quickly. while swing needs to identify muti trimeframes because we need to see short-medium and long-term trends

Day traders that identify their trade set ups on the one-hour time frame can then zoom into the 15-minute time frame to spot ideal market entries.

Use at least TWO, but not more than THREE time frames.

I don't recommend only 1 timeframe because that actually limits us in analyzing the market

Comparing between timeframes is very necessary to find the ideal entry location to check trend changes and price reversals
