by50, you bring up an interesting point about using different time intervals. I often use odd ones like 3 and 4 minutes. lately I've been developing a rolling period system using 1 minute as the base. So it would look for say 5 minute signals but starting at different 1 minute intervals. It's good for picking up candle patterns one would normally miss if they just looked at a standard 5 minute chart. However, to do this effectively one has to use a trading platform that's fully programmable. Although the one I use is very good there are many others, so there's no point advertising it here.
