Thanks for your responses,
Is there somewhere that I can find good intraday ideas or systems 
that are ok but could be tweaked??? Looking for scalping or micro 
swing type systems.

I will post a simple intraday system in a bit and let you guys pick 
it apart as I am just beginning in this and don't know what I am 
doing right or wrong.

Thanks
