Higher timeframes offer better range-to-spread ratio, but the lower timeframes offer more trading opportunities per hour/day. I would suggest starting with M15 or H1 as a newbie.
It is not risky - it is just more difficult because a bigger part of the price movement will be eaten away by the spreads.
I would suggest learning to trade without technical indicators.

I am sorry, but may be i misunderstood you.
I am newbie, but you advice me to trade on more difficult timeframes.
If i shouldn't trade with technical indicators than i should to trade with figures or fundumental analysis. But as i read, these analyses are used on timeframes not less than 1hour.
So, i misunderstood your advice.

I advise learning to trade on them - lower timeframes offer more trading opportunities to practice.
No, you are not limited to figures and fundamental analysis if you do not use technical indicators. You can still trade based naked price action, support and resistance, trendlines, or candlestick analysis.
if you wanna more better timeframe. i suggest you trade with H4 . because with this TF, you only need to look the chart every 4 hours
however, usually h4 has more bigger stoploss in pips
and like what moderator told you, try to study classic technical analytics , ie Candlestic, chartpatter, trendlines,Supply Demand , dow theory, S/R.,
Especially Dow Theory, you need to learn it .
and its better you learn from basic, most site like earnforex, babypips, brokerarena, provide free educational material
Timeframe used based on style trading I think, daily timeframe and wekly timefrae used for position trader which they look target monthly, four hour timeframe and one hour timeframe used intraday and swing trader, but scalping trader they will open and closed order short time they use five minuite timeframe
it depens on traders characters. for me for example, trading with D1 or W1 chart are very very bored. because we limited our opportunity
but i can trade with h1-h4 but can not with anything under m30.
and for small timeframe trader like me, i remembered what i read in brokerarena, a busy trading session is suitable for me
I agree with Enivid re learning to trade without indicators, and I understand the point being made re M15 time frame (more trades equal faster learning), however, longer time frames are where you will find the most reliable signals. I trade the H4, get my support/resistance levels from D1, and use multi time frames (H4,D1,W1) as confirmation. I use SR, Trendlines, and Channels, as well as Pin Bars if price is near SR levels.
I am also like trade without indicator and using candletick pattern to analyze trend market that ocur, many indicator also giving lagging signal in trades and this is only help tool for trader and not always profitable, making trading being simple as long as we know what to do
But many people believe that lower time frames should be avoided by newbies.I believe when you trade the higher time frames you get a clearer picture of what is really happening in the market.
