What box size are you guys using on the NDX.5 and .15 min charts? Mine scales it automatically and is using 12.5 now per box... I'm thinking I need set it for more like 20?

Matter of fact a fellow I know who traded that way in Chicago in the '70s used to photocopy buck sheets with a grid on them to carry into the Exchange with him. His source of education was both from learning from the traders around him as well as written material from authors who described the technique in the '30s. That was his recollection. I know others who used it but they were primarily Math Majors from schools like Cornell and UChicago who were more caught up with the Greeks (Vega, Beta...the measures of volatility and such). This guy was an Independent, so he would be my best source it seems.
