Chart time interval for swing trading?

[Steve C]

Hi guys,

Just after some advice, I am currently looking at holding stocks for between 1 day - 2 weeks and was wondering what the optimal chart time interval would be for this holding period?

My simulation strategy is based largely around bollinger bands.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve

Id have thought a 20 period displaced M/A would be too slow.

I guess your swing trading the top 50-200 stocks.
Daily should be fine.
