Intraday X's and O's anyone?
Today's RMBS moves raise a good discussion point. Here, RMBS marks two more O's to the downside, then rockets up to 61, giving a DT buy signal at 58 along the way. Those who update their charts at days-end have just missed a buying opportunity. By the time they post it tomorrow night, the new buy signal will be old news, and the stock may have run even higher (more likely than a new low, I guess). Anyway, it's odds-on to print about the way we have seen intra-day.
In this age of cheap computers that can even word-process as you speak, does it now make sense to post intra-day changes to a new column as they occur, or at least the obvious based on today's open-high-low-close data? I expect some software is already (or will soon be) programmed to update intra-day moves in real time. And since we are tracking supply-demand, why lose some of this data, even for a day?
I know this suggestion does not set well with those who still update charts by hand, and it does add complexity. But won't this change be forced upon us eventually?

Eric, Wizzie, Jan, others? I'm fascinated by this little problem.
