Higher Time Frame.

Trading on higher time frame is a pass to day day trading. You should prove to yourself that you can make money on higher frame, that you can trade. You must collect enough trading capital. You can’t just jump in and start day trading when you are not an experienced trader and just hope that you can make it. Numbers are against you so you must be prepared.

Well; if you are a long term trader; then you should use the higher time frames; otherwise small time frames will be okay!

Analyze ALL timeframes. Even if you're a short term trader, knowing what is happening to the higher time frames is important, because the lower timeframes explain 'why' a higher TF is moving in a specific direction.

Good supporting evidence of trends.

Long time frame is the best time frame. Most predictable. Less time consuming and more pips. Why bother with lower time frame

True; but when you doing scalping; then surely you need to count the smaller time frames like m15!

In trading, higher time give high change to successes. As a day trader I prefer h4 and h12 time frame. I always use both time fame in my trading strategy.

For newbie higher time frame is good. In lower time frame there is too much noise. Market moves back and forth a lot in lower time frame which makes a newbie restless. As a result they do over trading.

Use higher time frames to analyse the trends, and lower time frames to confirm the current direction. Basically, every time-frame is used differently depending upon the strategy. If you are planning with long term trades, then higher time frames is the best. On the other hand, scalpers usually prefer lower time frames.

Time frames are dependant on what you are looking for.
Higher time frames are much useful if you are planning to be a long term trader else, going for lower time frames are useful if you are planning to be a short term traders or scalper.

Then more you trade on lower timeframes, then faster you will learn to trade.
Trading on high timeframes is inherent only to skilled traders with large cap.

Higher time frame is good for newbie. Most newbie try on lower time frame and do scalping. But for scalping you need good skills to juice pips from noise market. I would suggest to newbie focus on higher time frame. Don't open too many trades.

Fully disagreed. This is antiexperience way that will lead to the loss of not only time but also money. Beginners should learn from low time frames to understand price movement faster.

I think timeframe completely depends on the comfort of trader

One should choose the time frame as per their understanding and the trading style.
