TF's and Trends

As a general rule, what time frame should be used to look for trends? Do we look back over days, weeks, months..???? And, how do you guys choose what you are going to trade, ie, indices, FX, commodoties? Is it a case of trawling through every graph available to find a trend?

Cheers

Heed this....Monthly...Weekly...Daily...and so on down the time frames....then decide which middling time frame suits your level of funds available to trade.....fighting the bigger T F trends is the quickest way to blow up......find the path of least resistance at all times.....develop your own strategies in accordance with the above.
