Hello Deriv Community,
The timeframe refers to the duration of a market trend, and traders use different timeframes to analyze and trade various assets based on their investment horizon and trading approach. Immediate or primary timeframes are currently relevant and attract day traders and high-frequency trading systems. They include charts that show price movements over a few minutes, hours, or days, and traders who focus on these timeframes aim for short-term trading opportunities. On the other hand, traders with a longer-term investment horizon may use longer timeframes such as weekly or monthly charts to identify long-term trends and hold positions for an extended period. It’s worth noting that different timeframes offer different market perspectives, and traders can use multiple timeframes in their analysis to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the market.
