A very important thing here would be the questions that you are asking yourself and the motivation behind the question. This reminds me of the importance in the PRing process of having a very clear and well thought out purpose before you begin.
If I am driving down a road and it comes to an end where I have to turn right or left and I ask myself - "Should I turn right or left?" I have made it clear what my purpose would be whether I turn right or left - I also have left out the possibility that I maybe I should turn around and go back the way I came, or maybe that I should get out of the car and leave the road altogether. If I say "Which way should I go to get to [my destination - whatever that is]?" and then I am quiet and see all of the possible choices and maybe even leave a spot in my visualization tool for a choice I haven't considered, then I have asked a good question and given myself all of the choices I might need to help myself.
If I am flipping coins and asking which side will come up next - heads or tails. It may have a clear question and purpose, but it isn't very motivating and will not usually activate my inner guidance because it doesn't really matter in the scheme of things whether the coin comes up heads or tails. If you suggest that a large amount of money lies on whether it is heads or tails, and therefore in your mind it is very important, I would say there are few people who could maintain the emotional detachment needed to see clearly in such a situation.
So, yes, detachment from the outcome is needed in these situations.
