Well I assume we have been all busily studying Currency Trading and Intermarket Analysis instead of posting here. Just wanted to say that I was reviewing my code and found a mistake and once fixed it shows a higher (around .65) correlation between 5 min OR and daily range than I posted earlier. I did say I was completely new to this stuff...Interesting to me, the 5 min range has a greater correlation with the larger of the two moves from the open (daily high-open and open-daily low) than it does with the smaller. (.6 vs .4) This is for ES since 2009.

And this was mostly for fun to learn some new code but here is scattergraph of ES 5 minute opening range vs regular market hour range, with individual distributions on subgraphs.
Main x axis: 5 min opening range
Main y axis: day range
Top y axis: count
Right x axis: day range
I cut out the outlier days to be able to see the scatter better.

There has been more focus on the OR in the last two pages then the previous 1000. LOL.
Yeah I tend to go nuts on 1 topic at a time. Numberline is next once I finish some code I'm struggling with. I hope I'm not bugging anyone with this stuff.
Slightly off topic. Just noticed that TOS added NG financial options vs the physical. The financial options are much more liquid. Carry on...
Bagger,
Which part of the code are you struggling with? I may be able to point you in the right direction.
Its actually going pretty well. I'm done with the code to score the NL, I'm just trying to write an application now to run the code on a group of instruments at once and output to one nice neat file. The real struggle is with my job. It really eats up my time them wanting me to work instead of playing on the computer. 
I really appreciate the offer and if I hit a real stumbling block I'll ask.

Trying to squeeze all there is from an instrument that is in the 1st-5th decile of daily range can never be as appealing as harvesting the riches of those moving in to the 8th-10th decile. The shifts in the number lines point the way.
'Nuff said.
