    Here's another one I'm watching and may enter as soon as a reversion is indicated -- tomorrow? Friday?

    Long BPZ
    Short NBR

    RSI 33 for the pair and dropping. I'm wanting it to drop to maybe 25 - 30 and then increase.
    Ratio has gapped big below mean. Trend ok. No news. No earnings reports for a month or more.
    Correlation 77% and increasing.
