TD, nice thread. Obviously, I'll be subscribed after this post.
I have been doing a similar series in my thread. The approach is about as simple as things get. It requires some patience and even leaving some pips on the table, but it is highly effective. I like the idea that many times the trade is entered and there is hardly a pullback.
BTW, I think you, Eagle, and many others are aware that the same patterns you are exhibiting in this thread can be seen on all TF's, and are also tradeable. In support of what you are conveying, the opportunities come up on the daily, weekly, or whatever, but I'm sure your point is that your method is also showing the wherewithal to grab those quick pips. The biggest difference is on the 5-min, you have to have an extremely quick finger and brain to go with it. With the daily on up, patience has to be exhibited.
Let me add something to what you were talking about with regard to account size and trading the dailies.
Many times it is necessary to have wider stops in using the daily. Some opportunities I like in using this method is using different TF's as a confluence. Let's say an S or R appears at the exact point on the hourly and 4-hour as on the daily. Then, go back to the hourly for the entry, set the stop according to the hourly, and then track the trade on the daily.
