Apologies for ignorance amongst all you professionl full-time traders, but I am hoping to find some info about the most suitable chart setup for the longer term positions as I can only trade on a part-time basis and wish to make longer term my method. Anything, pointers etc, would be appreciated. tahnks in advance.
 
First of all, the vast majority of folks here are neither professional or nor full-time.

Second, for the most part any chart set-up you find useful in the short-term works just as well in the long-term. Chart reading is mostly timeframe independent.
 
For the various signals I am seeking -
daily candlesticks with 14MA: (for swing trading patterns of various sorts)
daily swing bars with 14MA: (for swing trading patterns of various sorts)
hourly candlesticks (for the sole daytrading pattern I recently started to follow).

I suspect this is extraordinarily narrow for most traders to work with, but I don't find it helpful to look at more and more TA to confirm what a single chart can tell me.

I would emphasise that candlesticks are a vital science in their own right - you might have come to this conclusion already but I have been amazed that so many people outside the UK seem to use daily OHLC bars.

People tell me that intraday price action using 10-min, 30-min or 1hr bars is a useful area to study to reveal or confirm daily support/resistance, but I personally find this only successful on a random basis.
