What is Timeframe?
Technical AnalysisBeginner
A timeframe is the period represented by each candlestick or bar on a chart — from 1-minute to monthly. Day traders use short timeframes (1-min to 15-min), swing traders use daily and weekly charts. The same stock can look bullish on a daily chart and bearish on a 5-minute chart.
