Graham, thanks again. I am a little confused. You said earlier that 
it is rather impossible to get accurate signals between timeframes, 
so if I understand this correctly- I may be able to get signals in 
DAILY by using a smaller timeframe (example 1 minute) however they 
may not be exactly the same as when working directly with Daily 
signals?

Thank you so much.
