I'm surprised there isn't more traffic on this thread. The modified version is an amazingly accurate system. I'm making money with it despite paying an outrageous 10 pip spread.

Ok- so you are working with the price at 6:05 ET. I can't tell you any reason it won't work. I can only say that breakout systems are notoriously fickle. They will work for a year or two and then go sour. This one may well be an exception. I would ...
