As for the timeframes, I mostly stick to 3 timeframes 1D, 1H and 15m which are ideal for me right now.
I must say that this is a very good combination. If one would want to use very large time frames like 1Y, 1M and even 1W, there are other sets of timeframes that work best with them, and the same thing goes for the combining in which the highest timeframe is 1D like yours.

In 3 combinations, I love settings like (1Y, 1M and 1W), (1W, 1D and 4H) and (1D, 1H and 15m) which is yours.

Did you just say 1Y. That must be really huge. I have never went past 1M which I rarely read.
For me it has mostly been 1W for the highest time frame and it gives me enough data to analyze the trend.
What do you generally read when you are looking at 1M and 1Y ?
I've preferred to use a short time frame 1H, 1D, 1 week. Because in trading, we often take advantage of every up and down which only takes just a few minutes but of course, we also have to look at what happened a month before just to know that we are not buying at the inclining trend. Perhaps we can use them all if we have enough time to spend in the market and it was encouraging but yes, it will depend on where you think you are confident. And I would say that it was best to focus on the time frame that you usually used and if it was effective.
In my opinion, daily trading is more inclined to small time frames, and larger time frames are used as a reference for analyzing longer markets. I usually watch the trend from the larger time frame and place transactions on the smaller time frame. the smaller the time frame used, the more support and resistance areas will be visible, and we can use it to trade with faster market reactions in the visible support and resistance areas. if we analyze on a large time frame, the price reaction will take longer, even though our goal is for short-term, or daily trading
