a timeframe of 1 hour or more is generally used to see a trend. you might want to play with 10, 15, 20, 30 min timeframe if you want to scalp. 1 minute is definitely not the best timeframe though, that's too extreme. 5 minute is probably in a grey area.

When I was trading stocks I do used 15 minutes timeframe for scalping. It is noisy to used 5 or 1 minutes and you may not fine signal a day if you are using 1hour timeframe or above . The indicators will give you less noise signals when you are using above 1 hour timeframe but you will be missing trading opportunities which has happened to me in the past.

Scalping might worked well in stock and forex trading with pair that has a very low spread or commission however it could be tasking and difficult if applied in cryptos trading thus I considers 15 Min time frame too small due to the noise and high volatility associated with cryptos trading which I considered as a different ball game while taking into considerations the high spread or commissions by brokers or exchanges I will rather advise you to start will at least 1 hour time frame although lesser trading opportunities will available however the chances of making profits is bright. IMO

Tried 5 minutes but it doesn't suit out with my risk management thing yet you cant able to make fast analysis.When I do scalp 15 mins would be enough but when having some swings then 4 hours will be a good spot on. You plan to go scalping?Then better you know the high probability of losing trades.

I don't scalp very often, but I did use 15m in the past and it worked pretty well for identifying good setups. 5m has never worked out for me and I don't use it very often for anything, and I will also use the other timeframes (1H, 4H) for zooming in on good entries for longer term swings after I look at the 1D and higher timeframes.

In 15 minutes timeframe, chances of seeing several actions are always possible. In general, that's the initial timeframe you have to consider first then just jumps to others if you think it's not quite effective. However, not all coins are fit for scalping. It will be purely based on the coin's behavior, therefore, no specific timeframe should be prioritized. There are some cases of other coins who will be overhyped at given shorter frames, in here you have to be careful. Make a test of strategy always. Different trades have a different approach when dealing with scalping.

15 minutes would the ideal but it depends on the volume. Sometimes even if we set to 15 minutes but after 15 minutes of observing the price movement is not enough to reach your goal I would not scalp at all. I remember back 2 years agon when I was still using Poloniex, I scalping but all of a sudden price dropped and leaves me with a choice of sell now and look for other opportunities or wait for the price to recover.

Great question! We would say using the 5M - 15M is a great timeframe to scalp, although not all pairs are scalp-able. Looking at pairs with very high volume & low spread so you can get in/out of the market would be ideal for your type of trading style, but remember, always backtest a system before implementing it into your live-trading.

15 minutes is enough, but sometimes it takes longer to do it. I don't think you should make a time rule, but rather focus on trading and don't let your assets disappear.

timeframe (TF) used for scalping between TF 5 minutes and TF 15 minutes, most traders will see each TF when scalping alternately within a few minutes, because each TF sometimes shows a different status, so as not to be complacent.

I always confirms it at 4 hour time frame. Look at the 15 minutes tf and assure it at 4 hr tf. There are a lot of possible sideways in shorter timeframes but when you look and confirm it in a longer hours as 4hr tf, then the better. But the most important here as a scalper is the timing of entry and the exit and always execute tight stop loss.

This. It still depends what you mean by scalping - a target profit of 1 or 5+%? Anyway, whenever I tried 5 min for my systems, it failed. 15 min is the border area, 30 mins seems to be perfect. I use a bot though and I still want to find a profitable system on a lower time frame as I don't care if the trades will be managed too often - it's worth to have such a system if you use a bot as it can do the hard job for you 24/7, multiple times per minute.

TF 15m is the ideal time to do scalping, because we can see the trend direction and confirmation through TF1 & TF5 too, to ensure our analysis is correct. TF5 is also good to use, but unfortunately the chances of accuracy are low. 15m is a suitable time for short-term trading while enjoying coffee in front of the monitor.

What if using a bot? I think it takes a shorter time to trade with scalping techniques. it is very difficult to manage trade with this technique.

It totally depends on your trading static and analysis. If you want to short time trade and the market volume is good then 15 minute is enough for scalping. As trading static and market volume, you can use other timeframes also.

I think one hour is still very wise to do scalping because the time frame of 5min and 15 mins is not enough to do analysis before you make any form of entry and exit, otherwise you may end up using intuition to trade which automatically implies that you are gambling with the trade, no matter how good we may believe we are in trading, we still need the help of technical analysis to guide us through the trade and help us make decision for entry and exit.
Secondly, we have to consider that some uncertainties too like slow network connection, and also the time it will take the trading platform to execute the trade in case here is network jam from their own end. That is just my own opinion though, everyone knows what is best for him or her depending on the strategy built.

I usually use a 15-minute time frame to order a small amount. For those times when I see a high winning rate, I will use a 1 hour time frame to place orders with big money.
