The Importance of Trading with Multiple Time Frames (NinjaTrader)
Trading with multiple time frames is essential for success. It provides context. Higher timeframes show the big picture trend. Lower timeframes reveal precise entries and exits. This alignment reduces false signals. NinjaTrader excels for multi-timeframe trading.
In this morning's London forex webinar our focus was on the yen pairs as improved market sentiment had seen some great moves in both aud/jpy & nzd/jpy. Gbp/jpy had been lagging but strong buying of the British pound helped to propel the pair higher. The webinar also considered using multiple time frames to find significant levels of support and resistance to help determine whether the trend would continue or not.
Why Multiple Time Frames Matter
Single timeframe trading misses the full story. A 5-minute chart looks bullish. But daily shows downtrend. Multiple views align direction. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms strength across frames. High volume on higher timeframe moves validates lower timeframe setups.

How Do I Know What Tick Speed to Set My Tick Charts To – Do I Guess?
Tick charts are a scalper's favorite. They form bars based on a fixed number of trades (ticks), not time. This reveals pure momentum. But choosing the right tick size feels tricky for beginners. Do you guess? No—the Quantum TickSpeedometer solves this. It measures tick velocity in real time. This guides optimal settings and trading decisions.
No Guessing Needed: The TickSpeedometer Leads the Way
The TickSpeedometer on NinjaTrader tracks ticks per period. High speed shows strong participation—buyers or sellers dominating. Low speed signals fading interest.
To set tick charts:
Start with a default (e.g., 233 or 500 ticks for emini futures).
Watch TickSpeedometer. Ideal setting: Bars form at a pace showing clear surges (high speed) without excessive noise (too many bars) or lag (too few).
Adjust until momentum appears cleanly—surges on high speed, pauses on low.
This adapts to volatility. No trial-and-error guessing.
