  3. Andy, As I understand it you trade all time frames 10,30and 60 if they hit your proper entry and exit signals? Why not just look at one time frame and have the others confirm the entry?
    Just curious.

  4. You are right. I am taking the entries independent of each other. Sometimes I place the order to go long on 60 minutes on a RH and short on 30 minutes on a 1-2-3 at the same time. The advantage is that I am not so focused on one specific direction. I give the market the chance to tell me the direction. There is definitely no “best” way in how to do it. I am sure your results would be pretty much the same. It’s just my trading style and it fits to my personality.
