I did forget to mention, I will look at the 1 and 5 day charts, the 3 and 6 month charts and the 1, 2 and 5 year charts. Just for myself, I like the 5 day chart to key in on. When I mention on here where I am finding the various technicals, I am using the 5 day chart. That being said, once I find a stock I like, I do carefully look at all the charts I mentioned above. I don't know why, but I have found the 5 day to be my chart of choice before making the final buying, selling desicion.
