Bert,
It would appear that, because you are using a 9 day standard deviation of
closes, your need is to estimate where today's close is going to be before
the end of today's trading. Is that correct?
If it is, then do we need to bother at all with the range up to noon, the
open, etc?
All the best,
The Omega Man
