FIVE TIMEFRAMES

The five timeframes of the G-Model, the five most important timeframes that effect your stock and futures trading:

  1. A half day-cycle that begins with the Globex pre-opening price action and continues up to lunch time for the S&P pit traders in Chicago.
  2. A one-day cycle that extends from the opening of the S&P 500 futures index in Chicago up to the close
  3. A timeframe for trading whose holding period ranges from holding a position overnight up to 2 days
  4. A with- or counter-trend swing that has the potential to persist in the same general direction for a week or longer
  5. A sustained move in the direction of the primary trend that can last for several weeks.
