The 3 and the 5 seem to be the industry standard time frames. Longer time frame charts tend to lag according to all i have read. frogman
 
Quote from Buy1Sell2:

How do you decide on 2.5 pt stop? I see that your short was probably the same time that we had the short grail on 15 that I posted. If so, I believe that the 2.5 pt stop had potential to be "in the noise". Of course, it wasn't hit, but I like my stops outside reaction highs. What are your thoughts?

By back testing my trading rules.

Covered at 1369.
 
Bullish divergence now exists on the 15. Again countertrend to the 60. However, there is a greater possibility of upside than we had with the 3 recently. Tell you what guys, I'll go ahead and take 5 contracts at 1369.00 and play the intraday game with you today!.

Line Chart
first time to use it.

Now switch everything off apart from RSI. Switch your PC on around 7am EST and take a signal of the first grail as soon as second or third trough starts breaking 70 downwards - short, 30 upwards long. Stay in the trade until price starts breaking through current reaction high/low. If you are short and as long as price keeps declining off a current reaction point you stay in the trade, breaks through you apply trailing stop above/below that point.

For instance now if price starts braking through 1369.75 by say 0.50 you would cover short from the morning.

OK. Now we have bullish divergence on the hourly continous chart. I have added a total of 15 contracts at 1370.00 and 1370.25.
 
Market needs to clear 1372, in order to prove to me that it is trending up, before I start buying pull backs.

A failure here at 1370 would signal more selling pressure and a move down.
 
Quote from romik:

I've put some red lines on your chart, they represent current reaction highs, as long as they are not broken - you can stay short.

Simplest way to trade by far.

Romik--That's how you stay in trades! I like what you're doing.

Very good, I am certain that this way the profit factor would be substantially higher than being in and out on reverse grails and/or applying 'Yo-Yo' type trading. I will post stats of this week's reverse grail test, though a profitable system, it's OK...broker will be happy.
