As can 1) seen from these charts, a daily chart details action of a weekly chart, and a sixty minute bar chart details the action of a daily chart, anij a fiftrcn-minute bar chart (ietails the action of an hourly chart. I his patsertr of microcosm within a macrocosir> continues down to tick chart level. Thus, inversely, a lick chart expands into a five-minute bar chart, and a fivc-minule bar chart expands into a daily bar chart, and the progression continues up to the monthly charts.

Each of these charts gives a different perspective of what the market is doing, furthermore, the same lime frame, such as a five- or fifteen-minute bar chart, when expanded or contracted, will give a different perspective. See illustrations 9-6 and 9-7. Because each time frame gives a different perspective, it becomes important to choose one time frame and to stay with it. Otherwise, there will be too many conflicting perceptions and trading signals.
