			| Ah, Thank You. |  
			| Hi, I have the following indicator, (V-minv20)/(maxv20-minv20+.001) plotted with a smoothing average of 6. I am trying to put this into a PCF, but can't seem to get smoothing average to work properly. I have tried different configurations, but TC doesn't seem to like how I'm doing the average and I'm wondering how to do this?
 
 Thank you,
 Winfield

			| What is the general feeling about what is going to happen when this list is put to bed? |  
			| You can get 20min delayed via Telechart during the day vs. Blocks is strictly EOD. You also get Worden report with TC. No BOP with Blocks. Personally I switched to Blocks, but am paying for mutual fund and some other fundamental data because I was grandfathered in a different rate. |

			| AB, I have been doing some options papertrading lately and it seems to me the straddle position works best when there has been a period of basing. I realize the dragon pattern does involve a period of basing, but I think these bases are rather short and the put/call pricing for a straddle would be out of kilter from the previous pop in price. So the calls would be inflated and puts deflated.
 
 Given the fact the dragon pattern is based on a bullish outlook, I think you would be better served by either a vertical spread or simple call purchase. I am still learning the vertical so suggest googleing for further explanation.
 
 Whoever knows this stuff better please chime in.
