Re: Volatility Thread

...looking to pinpoint break out within 1-2 days
... only using chart
... for these purposes... volatility is the coming break out

..... for multi-day swings...

I don't quite understand your definition of volatility.
can you post a diagram to illustrate?

Re: Volatility Thread

Re: Volatility Thread

so you are actually looking for a larger than recently previous days ranges in order to determine what?
I could post plenty of charts showing large range days. what then? it will be in hindsight.
Are you asking for help, ideas, or are you proposing to discuss something?
I am with Tams - confused.

Re: Volatility Thread

dug dug....
i am looking to post charts which suggest a move with range larger than recent previous days yes.
where you are confused i think is that you are talking about hindsight.
i am talking about current charts being posted which suggest large moves that have not yet occurred.

no i am not asking for anything. i will post the charts which i think suggest coming increased volatility.
if someone else wants to contribute some charts which they think suggest the same thing, then that's wonderful.

no i don't want discussion. just charts which suggest coming volatility increases on a swing frame.
