Higher time frames

Ok I understand that it is wise to use higher time frames to confirm signals. e.g. With H1 one will look at H4 or D1 one will look at W1.

My question is when trading with the lower time frames which higher time frames do I use to confirm my signals. e.g. With M15, do I use H1 or H4. Or with M5 do I use M30 or H1?

Thanks!!!

The rule of thumb is 4X - 6X trading TF.

Excuse my newbie language… Huh???

Higher time frame to watch as a rule of thumb would be four times to six times the time frame your trading. In answer to your question. Personally, I’d keep the shorter TF’s at arms length but you didn’t ask that! LOL… good hunting!

Great, thank you!
