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.

this graph..

volatility is based on the garman klauss and i dont know why its says atr, but its the daily range.

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?
A little time now; more later because I have to leave soon for an appointment.

But, yeah, the correlation will be very high. It's in the construction, because you take a weighted square root of a square of candle length less the weighted square of the body length, so the square root of a square is like the thing itself.

The only thing that G-K does that things like "pure" stdev, or ATR don't do, is give you a "primative" signal noise measure at the same time.

That's because if there are no wicks, the GK number is lower (about 33%) of the candle size. The rest of the move gets put into signal/trend.

If it's a total pinbar, then the GK number is maxed (about 70%) of the hi-to-low. That means very little is put into signal/trend.

That's why GK can be effective in stop setting. The number (Range - GK), cumulated, can be thought of as a signal. Graph that, and then you're seeing the implied signal of the market.

This is fast and without edit, but I'm a little pressed at this minute. I'd be happy to discuss more later, though.

Some days you eat the bull, some days the bull eats you. Staying in the game is the whole deal.

It is harder though, now. It really is the end time for the system in a lot of ways, and those with the mandate to keep it around until tomorrow do what they have to do to see that happen. PTL can tell you, a market works when the corn goes down when it rains. And it doesn't work when a politician can allocate a multi-billion subsidy the same day it rains and put it limit up.

And we consume too much sh$t anyway.

that was a four handle day in the bonds, pretty wild, think I'm still waiting on fills.....hope your well bro, PTL...
Now we get 4-handle days whenever they cry "risk in on," and then in the other direction when they yell "off." Not quite, but there's been a couple this year. Still better to trade than the curr's, imo. Was real orderly in the announcement today, for example.

Have to run. So far, doesn't look like this has the half-life they were hoping for. But tomorrow is another day.

improvise, when i was younger, the old lady wanted one of those new faddy things. an electric cloths washer. she was tired of the wash board. so me being a gentlemen and all. i was gonna sell 2 of my best hogs to get her one. there was a rain the night before and i didn't realize the creek was so high. i tried to cross it and one mule cript on me and panicked. the damn wagon flipped and i was unable to fetch the tied hogs..until after they drowned. i sat on a rock pissed off. i lost a mule,a wagon, 2 hogs. after gutting the hogs. i realized the rock was perfect for the need.
i got my brothers mule team and pulled that rock back home to the bride. she used that thing for years before she wore it out.
after she wore it out. times were better, so i bought her one of those cloths washers. she was so happy. she was even happier 3 years later when we got electricity. not bragging, but the cock was crowing that night. she was appreciative in a dirty way. we needed that washer after that night.

Was just going out the door, but had to share a similar experience.

I finally got sick of using my hack saw to cut the firewood, so went down to the Gamble's store and bought a chain saw. It was heavy, but it helped a little. Complained to the neighbor that I thought it'd do better, and he said take it in to get checked. I did, and the guy started it up. I jumped back and yelled, "what's that noise?!"

Now I gotta go; the horse is rattling her bit.
