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.
