Its a simple n-period new high/low system. Trigger is making a
new High/Low and hold until significant reversals are evident.

I did include double Spread slippage ($20 per trade for ER2)
and commission $2.50 for IB per trade. ($45 both ways)
I end up with about 20-30% annual profit for the last 30 months
measured at a 10K Budget with single contract trading.
Without Slippage or only single spread slippage this improves greately.
This all shows that proper MM and position scaling will also improve the performance.
Note that trading starts in the afternoon!
So it will perfectly combine with your morning trading.
The 240 min (4 h's) period aligns perfectly with the 13:30 trading start
to react to intraday new highs/lows.

I forgot to mention, no stops were used. I will look further into stops, as I believe this will improve performance.

if i exclude trade entries after 14:30 i can improve the historic performance.
First trade entry 13:00
last trade entry 14:30
close position 15:45
performance improvement 100%
i start to like that model really much.
