Forecasting Horizon: Which Approach Works Best?SPX 500, DailySPREADEX:SPXRomanCassiusTradeThere are 3 main approaches to market analysis and each works best on a specific timeframe 1️⃣ Fundamental analysis Everything not related to past price action. Even assets with little to no intrinsic value(like altcoins) can still be analyzed using: • macro trends • news • ecosystem developments 2️⃣ Charting(price action / patterns) Drawing levels, trends, structures and trying to anticipate how other traders react 3️⃣ Indicators Using technical tools and algorithms to track momentum, trends, and signals “Which one is better?” Is the wrong question. The answer depends on the timeframe and combining approaches often works better than using just one ⏱️ Time horizons There are no strict definitions, but roughly: • Long-term → 1+ year • Mid-term → 1–6 months • Short-term → 1 week–1 month • Intraday → hours • High-frequency → minutes/seconds Which approach fits where? ✍️ • Fundamental → best for long-term • Charting → best for mid-term • Indicators → best for short-term & intraday Using the wrong tool = bad decisions Example: Fundamental analysis for 1-hour trades are useless 🧑💻 My approach I mainly use Fundamental analysis and Technical analysis with a focus on the mid-term horizon. At the same time, i build different portfolios depending on the timeframe/ There’s no universal strategy and each timeframe requires its own approach. Understand the horizon — then choose your tools
