Very Interesting Doug, I wonder if the sensitivity on high is more appropriate for fast moving stocks. VVUS on high sensitivity shows a white box and on med. shows a black. Some stocks with white boxes are SKM, DBRN, ROST. This type of charting would certainly add to the CC option tool box. It does seem to average out all of the factors (whipsaw movements). I will forward this information to the names on my request list for the Excel template. It's massive! Thanks Doug. I think alot of us have given back a chunk of our profits to the market. In the long run, it will come back with interest.

Doug, I have a question about your tool, and I think it is a good tool btw.. How soon does it generate the box, can it be intra-day? Is there a way that it can be generated before the close? It looks like each box represents a day's trading and my question is this.. Say that last November when i lost my a** trading options on TXN, could I have known before the BIG drop that it was going to occur? Or is the chart merely a "If the stock closes above its previous 3 days trading" chart. Also I have read about candlesticks, do you have an explanatory page on that chart? What I am asking in conclusion is, is the chart more than merely a look at if a stock closes above its previous 3 sessions? Thanks, Electric
