Quote from jmcgraw:
Do you have any info on brownian motion that I could look at? Is my method "Close enough"?

I think you are "close enough" for this exercise. For your reference, here is a quickie on brownian movement.

  http://davis.wpi.edu/~matt/courses/fractals/brownian.html

Do a search on Google with this query string:
  +"brownian motion" +"random walk"

And you'll get lots of references. I like this 3D graph here, which represents probability on the Z-axis. This URL talkes about options pricing and how the stdev is expected mean diviation of value, but I really like the chart:

I've been trading and studying charts for 5 years and I won't even hazard a guess. Maybe if I could take the data and put it into my charting program and really look closely. But just glancing through them...it's tough.

Can you zoom in the charts... they are difficult to examine bar by bar or candle by candle.

Click on "Raw Data", and then download the tab-deliminated text files. You can then load the data right into your charting program and zoom in and out all you like.
