Chart Time Frames Available on Pluang Web Platform and When to Use Each

Pluang's web platform offers multiple chart time frames — from 1-minute to monthly candles — giving traders the flexibility to analyse short-term price action or long-term trend direction depending on their strategy and holding period. For Indonesian stocks, the only intraday interval is 5-minute.

• 1-minute (M1) and 5-minute (M5): Best suited for very short-term scalpers watching intraday momentum. These frames generate a lot of noise, so they work best when combined with a higher time frame for directional bias.
• 15-minute (M15) and 30-minute (M30): Popular for intraday traders who prefer a slightly cleaner signal. Useful for identifying entry zones within a trend already identified on the hourly or daily chart.
• 1-hour (H1) and 4-hour (H4): Common starting points for swing traders on Pluang. The H4 chart is especially effective for identifying key support and resistance levels and confirming whether a trend is intact.
• Daily (D1) and Weekly (W1): The preferred frames for position traders and investors who hold across multiple days or weeks. Daily candles smooth out intraday noise and reveal structure more clearly; weekly charts help assess the broader macro trend.
• Monthly (MN): Useful for high-level context — understanding where the current price sits relative to multi-year ranges. Not typically used for timing entries and exits, but valuable for long-term planning.

The general principle is to use a higher time frame to establish trend direction and a lower time frame to time your entry. For example, confirm a bullish trend on the H4 chart, then drop to M15 to find a precise entry point.
