In addition to the news, large bank transactions cause spikes in currencys. It is my uderstanding that many of these banks ( according to a friend at B of A ) make weekly transfers at a regulary scheduled time. What I am trying to do is identify these times before they happen and adjust my EA accordingally.
I figured that consistant spikes in price and volume would be a good way to identify these transactions ( or anything else that happens on a weekly basis and causes currencies to spike ). Here is my attempt to identify these times. Volume works but I cant seem to populate the Average_Hourly_Range variable.
Please take a look and tell me what I did wrong.

Keep it simple stoopid....
