The difficulty of trading strategies across different timeframes is actually quite obvious. Daily chart operations are the most relaxed, with one or two trades per quarter being sufficient. They have the lowest difficulty level and are suitable for long-term investors or busy professionals.

The four-hour timeframe begins to accelerate, with about one or two trades per month. It requires a certain ability to read charts, increasing the difficulty to two stars.

The hourly level jumps in difficulty, with one or two trades per week. It requires attention to market details and sudden market movements, and the difficulty starts to test psychological resilience with three stars.

The 15-minute timeframe is a real test — possibly one or two trades per day, requiring all-day monitoring, quick decision-making, and strict stop-loss execution. Five stars indicate a high level of difficulty, not to be taken lightly. The shorter the timeframe, the more the technical analysis, capital management, and psychological resilience requirements increase exponentially. Beginners should never attempt it rashly.

I like the daily chart the most; the lazy trading method is really awesome.

I can make money on the daily chart, no need to bother with the 15-minute.

Daily chart shows a relaxed win, 15-minute chart is just handing out the dishes, no other way to put it

The daily chart's "lying flat" party is the real winner. Just move your finger once in the first quarter, and everything else is just self-inflicted trouble. 15-minute chart? That's asking if you want to experience what it's like to "lose three months' worth in a day." The difficulty level is straight to full marks.

The daily chart is really a retirement-level operation. Not touching it for a quarter is no problem at all. This is truly a paradise for working people.

Daily charts are the way to go; everything else is just inviting trouble. --- Looking at the 15-minute chart is satisfying, but actually trading on it just raises blood pressure. --- That's right, beginners should just look and not get hands-on. It's better to stick to the daily chart honestly. --- Four-hour charts are actually the most comfortable—no need to watch the market all day and you can still make some profit. --- Short-term trading? I'll stick to steady arbitrage; I can't handle that psychological battle. --- Is operating once or twice a week with three stars difficult? Come on, without five or six stars, you can't survive at all. --- Daily chart enthusiasts feel very confident; those who love short-term trading can go ahead and play on their own. --- The group trading on the 15-minute chart either has split personalities or is bankrupt—there's no third option. --- Operating once or twice a quarter is indeed comfortable, but you can't make much money. --- This grading system is a bit outrageous; the real difficulty of short-term trading should be rated three stars.
