With 5 min time frames you must only trade during certain hours and not 24/7?

I can’t see where you are coming from with this? Most of my 5 M TF Systems are 24 hours, but I may restrict them when I go Live with them after I analyse the times where the most losses are occurring.

I have currently disabled my Live PRT Account so I can open a beer and get on with life (Vonasi style) during the long summer days.

I am finding as I can only back test 4 yes that a few systems are long only. Is this ok? For example Nasdaq is purely long only on my back testing optimization.

This could be because your short entry and exit strategy are not good and the optimiser is telling you this by not giving you any shorts for results near the top of the results list? If you could see all results of the optimiser then you would see shorts losing money with each trade?
