Hi Cash, I've found that it's often when sentiment is worst, eg "the sky's falling", many traders avoid trading, which isn't the best answer... though things "feel" bad (eg what's on cnbc/cnn, financial market meltdown on wall street), it's often those times during which daily trading ranges are best/widest for trading ... and right re friday, on fast-moving days like that it's often good to only trade w/limit entries and focus on those w/highest volume, to get easier fills w/tighter spreads (which means nas vs nyse stocks often)..
