Yes Raj...5 min give you some noise......
At A,B and c look at the thrust of the upmove and volumes...they will help you in filtering false moves....and look at the thrust and volumes at D....at A,B and C 5 min was OS but larger TFs of 15 and 30 min were putting pressure on the market.....at D all went to OS area and the market decided that now it was time to start its upmove....
Combining higher timeframes with lower TFs will give you much better prespective....and if all timeframes speak...it pays to listen carefully

I did some backtesting on NF using your method.. FOr month of Mar09 to July09.. I used TF of 30. basically I started with intention to test how the method works for different timeframes.. In the process a little fatigue and I restricted to 30 and that too I analysed the results for one bar after the signal is triggered with SL as high/low of the bar based on S/L signal..From pov of intraday trading, I have excluded the signals at 3.30 and morning 10/10.30 results..THe gains do not reflect complete potential using this method as I have consider only one bar movement(close prices of next 30 bar).
I am attaching the summary file with exact triggers.. Please suggest if my triggers are as per your method and your past data.. Please suggest if we can tweak this some way, if suitable. I am not expert in excel, but I will definitely try to pitch in to best of my abilities..

My observations..
1. Considering +/- signal ratio, we need to use the method along with other factors like patterns/pivots etc..
2. At many places where in it gives false alarms, other issues like consolidation pattern etc were not in favour.
3. average 2/3 signals per week.
Thanks.
