Best TF to check, Ichimoku for a swing trader

I am a swing trader and I have been applying the simple rule of buy low sell high, things/trades haven’t been paying off and I want to use ichimoku indicator when placing my trades. My question to the experienced traders is what is the best TF to check for the signals? I am trying the daily but also thinking of the 4hr. I usually test strategies with a real account. I haven’t settled on a strategy yet 3years on.

Upgrade you system check the 4H then confirm on the D or week, review in the 1H and enter.

For swing trading, I like to look at 10 minute, 1 hour and 1 day and like to see all coming into agreement.
Especially when the longer ones are saying one thing and the 10 is reversing into agreement.
