Trade entry signals, when based on models of comprised disparate elements, can become fuzzy when there is dramatic bifurcation between contracts. At some point, this tug-a-war becomes resolved, but often invites assumptions about the true trend. Assumptions can be costly. It is better to trade such diverging contracts on their individual merits, and keep the size small....sometimes even to the point of being long the one and short the other at the same time. If such a battle persists throughout the 1st Frame of the day, it is quite likely to find some resolution as the Midday Frame ensues. Be patient, and hold back on size. Eventually, the flock of black birds coagulates and syncs into a more unified decision.
