I only have EOD data. 10/27/98 looks similar to me to today. I don't know how it looks inside the bars though. Best Wishes, Bob

Patrick, Today seemed like a continuation of the thin trading volatility of the last 3 weeks. Only this time there were a lot more players and a lot more money. Personally....it also seemed like I traded my expectations rather then the fork signals I'm working with....Does one ever completely get away from this emotional anticipation....? Remember I posted that 3 seperate time projections were to converge on about noon...? Well I was looking for a dramatic move and was disappointed with no well defined bounce. But I did say they might become the pivot point of the day. Well the forks were correct and I Failed Failed to act on that information and continued to anticipate a move-up right down to the end of the day. Blinded by expectations. Wasn't discovered until the sideways movement was completed at about 2:30. I know you've come across this problem many times...? Do you ever get over anticipating moves rather then following signals...? That was a clear fork signal that I've used many times...clear as ice water in your face....But I failed to move...got to figure this out...? Chip
