I don't see any dropping yet, is Frank opening range. Surely London can sell in a straight line today given the momentum and distance to next S but Frankfurt small pushing down first with the reports combo is opening a weak hands bear trap to sell at the last break out point.

We'll see

@ Hatch ...agree with your view...looking for the same

i think it will be little difficult to sell in straight line when 4hr is os, but let's see.

Yeap. However, check stock markets opening range with London. Europe was closed for FED and DAX and friends are not in oversold so the momentum will come from them as we are in risk aversion mode.

Here's a FWIW suggestion. An instantaneous estimator of the volatility in a bar (of any TF) is:

.GKvol = 10000 * Sqr(0.5 * (.hi - .lo) * (.hi - .lo)
- twoLn2_m_1 * (.op - .cl) * (.op - .cl))

Here twoLn2_m_1 = (2*Ln(2) - 1), hi, lo, op, cl are self explanatory. The 10000 scales it up to pips, and Sqr is square root. This is called a Garman-Klass estimator, which you can Google.

Anyway, keep a moving average of those. Then you can set a stop according to some multiple of that value (fairly big, like 6 or so)...
would you say these would be unreasonable ? I guess I will repost when you get up.. your garman klass thingy. going to compare that to what I have tried to use before.

just how exactly would you format ".hi" any importance to the decimal point or is it just how you mark the variables?

looking to long pullback above 26.. if we db near it. to 78 min. tired bear candles should give 78
we still can go to 78 as described. i did not take this trade. i have conflicting signals that say 3492 st.. this would void 78... only one can be right in this one.

Morning All,
well it will be interesting to see what happens at around 5307.2 - 5341.5
I would be looking for a signal to buy in that area.
