Instructor’s Response:
“Market Noise” refers to the very random price action that occurs on lower time frame charts.
Take a look at the 5 minute chart below…
Each 5 minute candle reflects all the trades that were made during that 5 minute period. Since the time frame is so short, oftentimes no discernable trading pattern can be identified. As a trader moves to larger and larger time frames, the price action will be less random and, therefore, “Market Noise” will be less and less a factor.
