Trend following strategy on a 1 min chart?

I prefer intraday entries on a 1min chart. The high for the hour is a high on the 1 minute as well, right? Of course trading with the market when counter-trend moves are happening. Time of day plays a big part towards what you're looking at in terms of liquidity and how price behaves when there is more or less liquidity.
One exercise I use is to go back in time and reply a daily/weekly high being made on the 1minute. Notice the pattern, length of the candles, time of day, news that came out, ect.

The worst thing you can do is try to trade how someone else does. Figure it out yourself and you'll never have to rely on anyone else. This shit is very simple.

It's just a set of different timeframes, like Alexander Elder's multiple screens, overlaid on current chart to save screen space.
Here's the code I wrote with plenty of room for improvement and you can probably find a professional version somewhere.

edit: btw it's probably not a good idea for a new trader to emulate the trading style in my posted examples becase i'm just showing off kareeeyzey stunts on a demo account. it's like doing burnouts and popping wheelies in a parking lot - may look fun and impress my friends but not exactly fit for street riding.

so far april up about 40%. however the balance plot doesn't show each campaign's deep open position drawdowns and nearly maxed out margins which teeter on the brink of blow up. it's not martingaling - just moving underwater entries into temporary 'inventory', and somehow they keep getting lucky. lol

Yeah, I've just realised I've opened a can of worms - apparently The Crucial Princess is well known for her superiority without discussion. I had better try and contribute something positive to this thread now....
Is "CP"a she?

About contributing something +ve to the thread, what channel indicator is that on your charts and what are the settings, don't want to blind copy it's just fascinating.

Thanks.
Let it turn and find your entry.

Although the last post here is quite old, please excuse my comments on this point. If one compares the four lines shown in CPs indicator they can come to a very strong conclusion regarding the system of CP as well as his indicator ...

Quoting BlackShark
Has evryone a trend following strategy tested on the m1 timeframe?
Hi BlackShark, at M1 timeframe isn't possible to see direction of the trend. U see a lot of volatility, a lot of unnecessary wavering. It's very difficult to look on M1 at the principle and the more testing it on a trading strategy. Should be taken into when writing an Expert Advisor, but I take in mind M1 only partially IMO.
Good results to U

Sorry if it's not very appropriate, and if you've already found the answers to your questions.
Because I just noticed that the thread was created quite a long ago
