actually you can just use with the standard (exponential) settings. just put your charting software on the smaller time periods, ie 60min, 30 min, and use those buy/sell signals. you may want to check the security your charting's past history to see whether your indicator settings are giving you valid buy/sell signals. if not tweak them a little.

For trades that short all I need is a price and volume chart (one minute) and the sp500 and dj-30 chart set to match it. Then just watch for the turns.  Most day trades I make come from the morning gapers (is that a word?).  All indicators are so slow. You must be fast to be good IMO. AB
