[cstar 10]

I am looking into trading forex and was wondering what timeframes people were using and had found worked well for them Daily/240/60 etc and their average length of hold time.

This really has no relevance what timeframe other people has found working for them. For every timeframe, there will be some people trading it. What does matter is what is working for you and that you will just have to figure out for yourself.

cstar, I refer you to the below thread, Suri presents the scenario using the eminis, IMO its still relevant no matter what you trade

 

'How to Select a best Chart Time Frame for your trading style'

by Suri Duddella it may help.

 

Keep an open mind there are tick chart, volume bars, range bars charts etc. I personally like to see candle charts which are not govern by time for my trigger, for areas I do look at time frame charts.

While mentioning Suri, I'll give him a plug for his book. Just got it and very impressed. Well worth the cost.
