This is a great example of how effective a small change in candle size can be when using our Ninja Signals V4 trading script. By simply switching from 1h candles to 67m candles, we were able to achieve significantly better results. In theory, this will also help to minimize price slippage during live trading by avoiding popular candle sizes (e.g., 1h candles) when many traders attempt to open and close positions at the same bar close time.
A small adjustment in candle size can make a big difference when using various indicators. Sometimes standard candle sizes also result in less obvious trends, making it harder to find the best buy and sell points. If your target candle size is 1h candles, we recommend comparing all candle sizes from 40m through 100m in 1m increments (40m, 41m, 42m... ...98m, 99m, 100m, etc.). The small amount of time required often pays off with significantly better, more profitable results.
