The System III (Oh no!)

Demo traded myself a nice 30 pip gain this morning on 1Hour E/U. Shorted the start of 11:00 GMT candle after 10:00 GMT pullback. Could have taken more profit (at the moment i would have been +70) but i guess thats all part of learning! Most ...

Does anyone find it usefull to watch the same E/U graph on a normal OHLC candle aswell as the synergy bar? As im looking at them both, the synergy bar does not look to me like a strong pullback, however the same OHLC Candle does look like a strong ...

Jayjb, are you saying you are more profitable on higher TF's or lower TF's?
