Trade with the trend and let it ride? Futures day trading

So today I was paper trading the Emini Dow. I just trade with the stochastic studies which indicate overbought and oversold levels. I have been only scalping 3-4 points but have noticed on the 5 minute chart that the swings from OB or OS can be 25 points plus. Obviously since the market has been on a down trend I learned to trade with the trend. So far after each consolidation a new lower low would be formed by like 30+ points.

While viewing the stochastic on the 10 minute or even the 30min chart that gave me the best predictability outcome with an easy 20point trade(forgot to add that I followed this route today and made a fast 20 point trade and then an hour later another 14 points). I would like to hear your guys opinions or thoughts to my thoughts, should I add some more studies, ex fibonacci, or just keep observing?

tl;dr put out a contract for whatever direction the trend is going for 20 points?
