We are switching from 240 to 180 minute price bars for generation of short term trading signals. The two daily times for trades are now 12:30 PM (ET) and 3:30 PM (ET). The trading table below reflects the new price reversals. The 180 minute bars trade about the same as the 240 minute bars, but, the entries are an hour earlier and more often than not, at better prices as the new trend has already begun. The earlier trade windows make a lot of sense, especially the 3:30 window 30 minutes before the close. There may be a few more in and out whipsaws, but not many and certainly the better entires will more than make up for a few additional whipsaws.
