{% endif %} {% if include.content != "no" %} In the context of backtesting sessions, what time frame you decide to run the session on depends on the strategies being tested. If strategies make decisions based on the 1 hour candle and above, then ```01-hs``` may be the best choice. However, if decisions are influenced by sub-hour candles then you should match the time frame accordingly. In the context of live sessions, that is, paper trading, forward testing and live trading, you should run the session on the ```01-min``` time frame so that the trading bot reacts fast when the price tags the take profit or stop loss targets. {% endif %} {% if include.more == "yes" and include.content != "more" and include.heading != "more" %}
