Your 65 minute bars probably made the difference. I don't have access to intra-day history, so all my testing was done on EOD data... a big difference. I certainly didn't test our entire stable, because it was obvious early on that it was a waste of time. It's possible to do the kind of backtesting we need by putting up about 6 months of daily data and throwing an eyeball on it. Still, we're talking two very different animals between hourly charts the way TC has found success, and the EOD method. I recommend different MAs for each, as I've mentioned here in earlier posts.
