Re: congestion -- how to quantify

Toby Crabel identified a couple which I have found useful.  He calls them
NR7 and IDNR4.  The first meaning the narrowest days range for 7 days and
the latter meaning an inside day in conjunction with the narrowest days
range for 4 days. He did some good studies on the likely market reaction to
these breakout setups in his book "Day trading with Price Patterns and
opening range breakout".   Larry Connors wrote (and I believe still does)
some interesting things using historical volatility setups.  One of which
involves looking for situations where the 10 Hist vol is less than 1/2 of
the 100 day hist vol.   None of the above is of course without whipsaw
action and you need to filter the entries with a reference to other time
frames.  I like to search for signals on the dailies and then closely
examine the hourlies and weeklies for any other clues/patterns.   The good
things about them however is that they are all easily prgrammable.
