Re: [Metastockusers] Reading historical data

hello Max,

Interpretation (imho) is that a value below 0.5 indicates that the HV has
shrunken so much that the probability for an explosive price move is rising.
But it does not indicate which way this price move will occur.
The most explosive ones are in combination with an inside day or a day
where the difference between H and L is the smallest over the last 4 to 7
days.

I would use 255/262 instead of 365 days, as there are 255/262 trading days
in a year.

Trade well,
Frans
