You missed the point, most likely my fault for not being clear. Excessive trades in simulation are often adversely impacted by slippage in reality, and can make quite a difference in actual results.

At any rate, my reference to multiple timeframes was to target higher probability trades using that information. Here I show the ES at 10 min and 30 min timeframes. The circled area represents the same time period in the 10 and 30. On the 30, price rides the lower band, hence oversold condition. The 10 supports at mid-channel but ultimately falls to oversold, at which time probability suggests taking upward line extension. That was my point.

Good luck with your system development. Just remember the most robust systems have few variables and do not overtrade. CO
