This system cannot be used on the 1 min chart because the EMA's cross over way too much. If you do use the 1 min chart you need something with a 3 pip or less spread. You can win with the 1 min chart but as soon as you break even be ready to pull out with a 1 pip gain. You will miss some nice 7 to 10 pip gains but it will keep you from lossing (sorry I can't spell) 10 or more pips.
I back tested it on the 4 hour chart and you can catch some nice moves, around 50 pips or more. If you use the SAR trailing stop you can protect yourself pretty good. I also have had some success with placing my stop at the lowest candle of the past 3 candles. Not so good with dailys but ok with 4 hours. The only problem is I seem to never be at my cpu when I get an entry signal.
As for the questions you had, I gave you all he gave me. I'll see him tonight and talk more about it tommrow.
