Default 5min charts??

I did try this, but got even more confused lol.

Sometimes when the 15min says buy, the 5 mins already has gone up and is in overbought. So i wait on the 5 minute to get a good buy signal there to, sometimes the 5 minute stays in overbought for a long time, in which case it is often to late to enter on a 15 minute, so you miss the trade, or enter too late

Other times i enter on a 15minute (ignoring the 5minute) only to check it later and realise the opposite of above. This time the 5 minute was showing overbought and turned down momentarily, before continuing in the 15 minute direction. So i got in too soon at a bad price

Talk about confusing! lol

Anyone else finding this or has a solution? For now I will still stick to 1hour filter and 15minute entry/exits

Thanks in advance
