Swing trade equities using footprints

[cumulativedelta]

Hi,

For those who trade equities using footprints, what time frame do you typically use?

I used to trade Footprint charts, and the highest I went was 15 minutes. 5 minutes was the ideal timeframe though.


But the title of your post is about swing trading, which involves more than one day.

My question is this: why would you want to use a tool like a microscope (footprint chart) to look across the street (swing trade)? Seems like binoculars (other charting tools) might be wise.
