<mark style="color:red;">ANSWER:</mark> This is a trick question - there is no such thing as a correct SMLK Timing zone.

The Small is for smaller target trades and this increases to the King which has the potential for the largest profit target. If you are looking for a very small scalp then using Small or Medium timing may suit the situation.
