I see you are right. In retrospect I see there was a LOD signal on the 422 call that went crazy but I wasn't watching for it. So I did not catch it.
I primarily use the NYMO and NYSI triggers on the dailies for swing trading stocks, but if you want this strategy does work for day trading too. Buy above the open. I'd suggest having a rising NYSI in place for day trading stocks long. In my case, I have in the past separated the top five stocks from my Nifty50StockList up the most above their opens two minutes in with the open as the stop loss. Could do with only leveraged ETFs too. In this ragged market of late what I must warn what I just said with stocks and the ETFs still tends to be a crap shoot.
