d. If price doesn't hit target profit within 30 min to 1 hr, Close it at best profit.


IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. The rules must follow step a, b then c, NOT b, a then c, as you would not get valid signals.
2. Exception of entry rules, of RSI (cross above 70 or below 30) and Stoch (cross above 80 or below 20), can only be done, if and only if, u see divergence with 3 Spikes of Higher Highs or Lower Lows.
3. You may enter early by following signal a. and then b. without waiting for c. to confirm. BUT, it has 90% success rate - i choose to enter on this entry.
4. It is that prior to entry based on the rules stated above, that the previous 2-3 bars length shall be less than 25 pips

The force 5 minutes forex system produced good profits if traded correctly. By good profits it could make pips everyday even if its only a few. Tested on the Eur/Usd pair, on 5 minutes time frame. recommended trade in asian or europe session.
