    this could be a projektion for today. a "grail sale" (resistance trough 20EMA) setup on the dailies will be kick in at around 947... DONT EVER THINK THAT WAY or you will miss a lot of great moves... :) good luck

    i agree. there is not only black + white. most of us discretionary newbies are somewhere in the grey. i always walk my way down from daily over 60min to 15min and 5min and sometimes i only see "scalp mode" and the next day i anticipate a possible larger move ahead. i try to roll with it... :)...
