You calculate the 3 war on Fridays close for the following week. It doesn't change and doesn't roll...In general you want to look at monday and tuesdays range for the weekly direction.. it lasts the entire week. Some have told me that if we reach a full 3 war by Wednesdays close then we are then setting up for a reversal...I haven't specifically noticed that but don't always follow the 3 war as closely as I probably should...we are getting close to a full 3 WAR already this week...You can also look at the weekly midpoint after Tuesday closes but that won't take precedence over price action and Profile points

some random thoughts....

Expecting 40 points of range based on the 3war etc......so we traded 1125 yeaterdays...based just on that price we will see 1100 or 1150.....before next mondays open...that would be two main Rats....

but more important we can project where those rats will hit using mondays and todays trade....


If Mondays high holds then we can subtract the 3 war from that high so we should see 1100 easily....

If we get an inside bar today with an up close then we need to entertain the POSSIBILITY that the OVB may fail to trade lower and we can add the 3 war to Mondays low....just some thoughts rattling through my head

Hi Bruce, When you calculate the 3 WAR - do you use RTH of rolling 5 days as a week to calculate new 3 WAR everyday or do you use RTH of Mon to Fri as a week?
Thanks a lot for all your insight and analysis in real-time.

correct Paul and look at the bar before that...there is air there too from that break down bar to the low of the first 90 minutes of trade that held so long...these are known as single prints in MP terms......so important that Investor r/t and other software draws lines for you automatically..at the 30 minute air...the very best 30 minute air will also contain one minute and 5 minute air..!!

How do you set that feature up in Investor R/T?
