Good stuff Jeff...where are you placing your protective stop loss after you enter on the 5 minute break?
A tick beyond the opposite end of the 5 minute bar.

Jeff, do you use some indicator to plot the vertical lines evey half hour?
Also, the high and low of the 30 minutes time, is this plotted manually?
Thanks,
Jojo

Hey Jojo,
Everything is manual now. Lio was working on an indicator that would paint the vertical line but it doesn't work quite right. Hopefully he'll have some time to see if he can make it work.

Hopefully you caught the trades this morning......there were 4 nice ones.

I have been focusing on the 5 minute the last few days. I always used it for an anchor.
