Scalping stocks and chart timeframes - Trading-Lab

hello,

I have a question for any scalper out there. What chart timeframe do you use when scalping stocks? 1min, 5min, or 10 min? I use mostly 1 min charts.

I use 1min for scalping and 5min - 10 min to get a bigger overall direction picture.

I have this setup:

5 min chart for stock
5 min chart of ES
1 min chart of NYSE tick

it works well for me.
