📌 Why I Stopped Watching 5-Minute Charts

I used to stare at 5-minute charts all day.

Every small candle felt important.

Every tiny move created emotion.

Most of my decisions came from noise, not structure.

Over time, I realized something simple: short timeframes were making me impatient.

Price moves on lower charts are often just reactions to orders, not real direction. When I stepped back to higher timeframes, I started seeing the bigger picture — trends, ranges, and real market behavior, especially on assets like Bitcoin.

I’m not saying lower timeframes are useless.

But for me, they created stress instead of clarity.

Now I focus more on learning market structure, managing risk, and letting trades breathe.

Less screen time.

More discipline.

Better decisions.

Sometimes progress starts by zooming out.
