they do fit my plan too.

now i just need that we get back inside yesterday's candle for some pips short. then i will look for longs if the daily closes above 3343 (almost surely).

yesterdays high is being a huge bother, though. hope we weren't just fading stops just now...

i cant say i knew about the fed crap. but the spike a day ago told me 3568/85 min. it wasn't a perfect signal... if it was i would of said 3585 or 3610.
my point is 3585 was close to an 80% shot. and we still even with the koolaid didnt get there yet. i am surprised. the day is still young. but someone is selling on the way up to counter the s stops triggered.
dreams do come true.

Well, to be fair, I have a daily and H12 supply zone and still shows a lower high at this point in time.

If Daily close under 3441 , nothing has changed. Dollar bullish.

So Ben bailed out the world? I thought for sure we would hit 1.3 before I rode the bull back up...
I don't think there was the luxury of time. I lived through the failure of Continental Illinois, the Penn Central, the brokerage failure weekend, and Long Term Capital, among others, and this had all the earmarks of a Near Miss:

The guns loaded two days ago, the coordination yesterday;
then
A systemic bank downgrade event in the face of expanding CDS and collapsing bond prices;
then
the announcement and a sequence of unexplainable data beats.

The money markets were just about ready to freeze solid; everything pointed to it, and with the downgrades among the biggest dealers, it likely would have tipped over.

Glad to see most everyone weathered it or prospered.

Months? This just kept the doors open and avoided the near certainty of a liquidity-induced failure occurring within days if not hours.

Gotta keep in mind: the loss -even temporary- of even one major European swap dealer would hit this skittish market so hard that it wouldn't function properly for long enough to spread systemically. Remember, there's virtually no credit risk priced into derivatives.

This isn't about sovereign debt. It's all about the bank's ability to fund.

OldQuant,

I found that the correlation between the Garman klauss estimator and just simplly the range of the bar is nearly 1

I was thinking of going deeper. say the hourly closes. then take the last 24 hours, and calculate stdev. maybe that will be more appropriate?
