| Apply analysis tools equally to all time frames. But adjust indicator settings to the special characteristics of each holding period. Many strategies work best when period length aligns to the common crowd view. This taps their herd behavior and lets you anticipate their next move. For even greater flexibility, toggle between popular and custom settings to review the differences in signal output. Vary time frame to uncover cyclical price behavior and build a 3-dimensional trend model for a particular market. Place one custom set above and one below a central study that correlates with the chosen holding period. This may require plotting different indicator types on each length chart. For example, to track faster signals on intraday holds between 1- and 3-hours, experiment with a 6-17-9 MACD Histogram on a 60-minute chart, a 5-3-3 Stochastics on the 5-minute and follow the daily action with 8-day Bollinger Bands and standard volume histograms.
