Thanks for the comments guys, some great thought there. I guess I just need to test it. I don't mind taking a bit of heat, no problem if it happens right away. But waiting 30-40 mins with price sitting there doing nothing is not exactly a great momentum trade. If price had gone up I would have been saying to myself, great trade you got out with 1 tick profit instead of stop loss getting hit.

Thanks for the comments.

Key - sounds like you don't even know if your setups need to be given 'wiggle' room or not. That's step 1 - prove to yourself that either a) my setups can take 30+ minutes to develop or b) they need to turn profitable soon (and how you define 'soon').

There's great advice in this thread, but it's ultimately up to you to prove to yourself the best way for you to trade.
