>there is no single time frame >every single trade differs depending on your hold parameter and goal Ron, Yes, there are multiple time frames, trends, holding parameters and objectives. But from a practical standpoint, how do you go about balancing/matching a time frame and a trend with your objective? Do you first start by looking for some sort of a trend, then adjust your time frame to match the trend? Or do you first start by looking for a time frame and then go with the prevailing trend within the given time frame? In other words, I see it as two entirely distinct and separate approaches to scanning/picking stocks to trade. Maybe there are some third, fourth or middle ways that I don't know about. What is your preferred approach? Is it primarily time-based or trend-based or something else? I couldn't really tell from your post. Thanks. Ice
