For markup and markdown candles that serve as a trap for sellers and buyers respectively the 4 h chart is the right one to look at if it is forex - and you are out of the trade in 24h or less. For indices like ES1! ( e-mini snp) it is 15 min candle - so you could be out of the trade having reached the target in few min or few hours.
