Notable about current action is that the 3/10 Offset HV Indicator has fallen into “extremely low” territory. I first introduced this indicator in the July 13, 2009 blog. It looks at the historical volatility over the last 3 days versus the historical volatility over the previous 10. Low readings in this indicator occur when there has been a sharp contraction in volatility. In that blog post I showed that these sharp contractions are typically followed by volatility expansions.
About a year ago I wrote a detailed study that examined using the 3/10 Offset HV Indicator as a filter for daytrading Opening Range Breakouts. The study is 5 and a half pages in length. I’ve never offered it through the blog before. It is only available in the members section of the Quantifiable Edges site.
I took the last week off from blogging after my father passed away. He got dementia at a young age and it took him away from us much too soon. In his memory a fund has been set up with the Alzheimer’s Association.
If you use the link below to make a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association I will happily forward you a copy of the Quantifiable Edges Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Study. The donation may be in any amount. I would ask that if you have found the blog helpful in your trading over the years that you consider a generous (tax-deductable) donation.

I will receive notification from the Alzheimer’s Association when a donation has been made, along with the person’s email. With this information I will forward a link to the Quantifiable Edges Opening Range Breakouts Study along asap. If you do not get it within a few hours, please email me at ORBstudy @ quantifiableedges. Com (no spaces) and let me know. I apologize for not being able to automate the entire process.
