I had the same quesiton. Does it make sense to pay attention to shooting stars, hammers, hanging men, or engulfing patterns on 5 M chart or a 1H charts?
Which is the best time frame for looking into these patterns?
I am sure that's both true and not true. For some people it is noise, but it isn't for everyone. For the most part I tend to trade higher time frames. But if the market is slower I'll move to extremely low time frames. Even a 30 second chart is tradable if you know what you're looking for and have clearly defined set of perimeters.

Candlestick patterns mainly offer data on value shifts in the currencies. They are also useful to traders as they help in offering some idea of what kinds of tactics could work well when trading. The Forex candlestick indicators are mostly used with regards to price changes. I think they can be more effective intra-day.
In my experience, any strategy works better in a bigger time frame. Candle Stick pattern it self is not a strategy. However, it suggests whether the Bull or the Bear dominates. Thus, it works better in a daily time frame than in the intraday charts.
