Re: Optimize Time Frame?

Nothing in TS to do this automatically, as far as I know.  I have been doing
some experimentation on this by hand (i.e. changing time frames and parameters
manually).  The results are quite interesting.  There seems to be no
correlation among time frames --  you would expect a 10 bar chart to somehow
correlate with 10 one bar charts.  Also, what significance does open or close
have in say 10 min. charts intraday?  How about 9 min. charts? Clearly,
intraday open and closes on intraday charts do not carry the same significance
as they do on daily charts.

Food for thought!
