I'm working on it. I have a couple of new charts that I want to watch in realtime tomorrow. Note the scale change though - that's why it looks so different. Three things to keep in mind: (1) the MMs want the close to happen at the minimum (max-pain) because they have to close naked positions by buying or selling stock and max-pain is the point where they make the most profit, (2) the program traders and hedgies want to roll up and down the slopes so that they can make money arbitraging and day-trading options, (3) the true hedgers don't want to get called (they wrote covered options for income) so they provide resistance at the two tops of the well.
