I have tried with 5-min candles as Al trades but I have missed some price action that eventually cost me money.
If your broker allows it, why not "paper trade" until you understand Al's methods to your satisfaction?
It seems to me, 1 minute charts are not going to be any easier. Or maybe try a longer time frame - 10 or 15 minutes where the patterns might be clearer. Also maybe review your trade management - particularly size if your losses are more than you expected.

If you are making mistakes on 5 mins, 1 mins would be much much more difficult. As a rule of thumb smaller TFs are more difficult to trade. For obvious reasons that you get lesser time to understand and analyze the chart, reversals are much more abrupt and when it comes to such small time frames like 3 mins, 2 mins, 1 min the time it takes to place correct orders, cancel orders and replace orders or to modify orders also counts and you would end up making mistakes.
Al strictly discourages from trading anything less than 3 mins, trade 3 min only if you are successful at trading 5 mins.
Having said that, there are traders who trade 1 min charts, but obviously they are traders with much experience and have proved themselves on higher TFs.
