Is Time really on your side?
First of all you should define which one of them is the best time frame for YOU (the one that matches more precisely your own inner rhythm and pace). If you're basically a scalper (expecting fast results, in and out of the market) you won't have enough patience to wait for the trade to finally go your way. If you're a scalper at heart but your reactions do not match the expected kind of action, you should work on improving your reaction time to the market signals (I had to do that myself, as my mind in the beginning was much faster than my clicking response. I worked around this issue by practicing with a testing tool at a much faster speed until I was able to spot and click, spot and click without thinking, much like you would react when driving a car and having mastered how to drive instinctively without having to "look and think" each and every action).
Or else, you could try adapting your system to slower periods.
Market behavior is not set in stone. The market is always evolving although it does so inside precise boundaries and each currency pair has its own set. It changes, but it remains the same... you can find out what is the constant in a particular market (currency pair) and that will be your edge. But this is something that has to be grasped and lived from the inside. You could be trading both sides of the “main trend” at the same time with success, or the inverse. It's all about timing and synchronization.
Find your own time first, and then find out which one of those timed conventions fits the best.
