Pat: The times that the big box are throwing out are volume AND price driven from the analysis of option, stock, and futures volumes and price movements. In the manner of digestion by the big box, I don't know what is, nor could it be easily determined, the inner thinking and handling of the data of the computer. Or so I've been told, cause I have asked similar questions along the same line. This is one reason why my times are seldom more than two hours, mostly 90 minutes or less. I demand a 80-85% accuracy forecast from the big box and that makes it highly restrictive to time and points, evidently. And, the reason for the "stretch factor" of 1/2 point and 1/4 hour. Regards---Nemer edit ( Lisa will catch me if I don't tell you I'm editing.....ggggg) a good example of the implementation of the stretch factor is the SPX during some of my very recent post this morning. SPX fell a good 2 points --from 1051.50 to 1049.5 in 10 minutes from 13:27 to 13:37 EST.....this "large" move in a "short" time makes the recovery need some "stretch" hope that helps explain and not seem like a wishy washy out......
