Steve,

that was what I call non-tradable range. If it is not a mechanical system, I
stop trading
when you get double top & double bottom in ~6 pt range. I call it 2T or 2B
if the difference
betw them is max 1 pt nad they are spaced at max 6 min distance.
If it is a mechanical system, you have to code the above requirements.
