some more techniques can be used as for example ,
3o min breakout is of prime importance , in this technique , after market is open , do not trade for first 30 minutes , then note down the high and low of last 3o minutes , now if price breaks high take long and set the range (30 min high -30 min lo ) above 30 min hi as ur target ,and 30 min lo as stoploss , this technique has a accuracy something aroun 70-80% and most of day my first trade starts with it .
but rest 30-20 % day market fails to rise above the (high + 30 min range ), most of the cases it fails for just few points , so we could have an opportunity here ,
because 0.50 % target is easily achievable , and accuracy level will go upto
90-95 % i hope but problem lies when market fails to break even 0.50% target , and hits stoploss, loss would be far more than the profit . test it and if u think it could help u then its okey .
note - risk wold be more than reward here , if u could find any improvement in the system in terms of better stops your ideas are most welcomed .
opposite is also true for shorting .
