    Strong bounce today

    By the way, looking back on that chart, the OE vol tot had a smoothing filter applied, which is why the curve looks so gaussian. I added back in the raw bar data including volume spikes. Most notable spike is at 145; this would probably serve to skew the smoothed distribution down a bit...

    Strong bounce today

    Your pain wasn't felt alone. The range survived intact (cross my fingers). <img src="http://elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1568766" border="0" alt=""><br /></font></p></font></p></font></p> Here's another graphical reason, I don't see a tank in the cards into friday. Way too...

    Strong bounce today

    Watching this congestion zone (20 day intraday) like a hawk. If they can hold this range, there is potential for a squeeze. Otherwise, there is going to be some major technical damage done. <img src="http://elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1568621" border="0" alt=""><br...

    A rebound Wednesday?

    This is redemption week for hedge funds. Explains a lot of the selling volatility IMO. Of course, I still have a hard time seeing option writers granting the bears wishes on OE...

    A rebound Wednesday?

    1st h&s was also breached (although, I'm not certain what an "official" h&s is, this is my subjective interpretation). However, admittedly, 1st breach also returned back above on hammer that time. What baffles me is isn't OE a few days away? I just wonder whether all the bearish put holders...

    Virus warning in tray

    One way to do it, as I mentioned before is to hit ctrl-alt-del. The task mgr will pop up and under the processes tab, you will see all processes currently running. Look for one that resembles the name of the anti virus software you were prompted to go to. If you don't see any, you have to try...

    Basic questions on indicators

    1) On a larger timescale, some people use fractal/hurst exponent to define periods of trending/trading. Although like a lot of TA, it only tells you something after the fact. Bollinger bands are one way to characterize noise and volatility, whereby the signal is the price average and the...

    Virus warning in tray

    Get hijack this (freeware). Run it and look for the bad process. Terminate it. If you don't know how to isolate the bad process, run a google search for the process name and hijack this. Also, can do ctrl-alt-del and kill from task mgr for a temp fix.
