Some stocks seem to go through periods of time where the up/down spread during the day is wide. Example, Friday's swing in VVUS was massive. We know that MMs, daytraders, and momemtum traders are jerking the prices for sure. And, CCers and stock traders can take advantage of such swings to either capture the lows for buying Calls or writing CCs at the peak. The hard question is how do you know when that is taking place without being glued to the computer screen all day long? I wonder if that could be incorporated into your chart?
