More reliable to use the EMA's with P SARS and Stochastics on a 1 hour with a 15 min. verifier.

And that's about all I know about trading....

Understood, and whatever works! I use an 8 period weighted moving average and 5 minute chart, since I am in and out frequently with a small profit target. I use the 30 min, 1hr, and 2 hr charts to confirm general direction and increase safety.
