Hello Alvin,

I use 5/30 MA crossovers on both the 5-minute and 1-minute charts for the
FTSE and the DAX. To be honest, it doesn't really matter which parameters
you use; just be consistent. The strategy is to enter on crosses on the
1-minute charts in the direction of the trend as defined on the 5-minute.
Ten point stop maximum. Exit position on a reverse cross on the 1-minute
chart.

Remember with a trend-following strategy, most trades will be losers.
It's 10% of your trades that will make you the money and you have to
positioned when they take off.

Hope it helps.

Regards,
Kevin
