Here's something most traders mess up: your chart timeframe should match how often you're staring at prices. Running daily charts? Cool, check it once per day and walk away. Weekly timeframe person? Same deal—once a week is plenty. But if you're glued to your screen refreshing every five minutes, stop lying to yourself. You're a 5-minute chart trader. Own it and switch your setup to match your actual behavior.

Haha, you're absolutely right. That self-deception really needs to change.

Isn't this talking about me... Saying I'm watching the weekly chart, but actually staring at the 5-minute chart all the time.

Absolutely right, the majority of traders are just deceiving themselves. I've seen people who stare at the 5-minute chart every day and insist they're swing traders—it's hilarious.

Haha, that's exactly me. Staring at the screen all day while telling myself I'm doing weekly trades. So funny.

Brother Tian's words really hit home. I'm exactly that person who stubbornly refuses to admit I'm a 5-minute chart trader.
