Which Method When? (Technical vs Fundamental vs News) — Explained in Plain Language
7/6/2026
Results day → fundamentals; normal days → technicals; breaking news → news dominates. Timeframe follows your style.
In plain words
Weather decides the outfit: sunny routine days (technicals), annual health check (fundamentals), sudden storm (news).
Level by level
Beginner
On results day the numbers rule; on quiet days charts rule; when big news hits, nothing else matters for a while.
Intermediate
Swing traders live on 1D + 4H/1H charts; intraday on 15m/5m with 1D context; scalpers on 1m-5m; investors on weekly + fundamentals with quarterly reviews.
Advanced
Method-switching is regime awareness: news/event vol regimes invalidate technical levels; post-event, price action re-anchors.
Key takeaways
- Swing: decide on 1D, time entries on 4H/1H — no timeframe makes you '100% profitable'.
- Scalping: 1m-5m, tiny targets, iron discipline (hardest for beginners).
- Good fundamentals = judge over quarters (3-12 months), review each result; exit if the STORY breaks, not just the price.
Memory tip: Routine = charts, report card = fundamentals, storm = news.
