Hi Stormyweather, great title there, if you only knew how relevant that is to me it would crack you up.
Other more experienced TA specialists may like to chime in here but I would always use a daily chart to establish and monitor the progress and once an entry is identified move down to a 5 min to pinpoint that entry trigger. Also depends on what indicators you are familiar with and what candle style you prefer.
Hope this helps and that I haven’t confused. Happy if you want to send an email and I could help further.
