Yen 2018 Weekly. I thought a mistake was made after running this chart but there wasn't. The one aspect that I liked was the indication of the increase of volatility in the 1st quarter of the new year. NZD-JPY AND AUD-JPY markets provided excellent trading opportunities during this same time period. I only consider the trades with the biggest payoffs. It's great when a market goes to sleep and then a forecast shows an increase in volatility. You don't necessarily have to know the direction with options but of course if you can determine that aspect it allows you to make that much more.
This is the ES 30Min intraday data for 4/2 and 4/3. I included 4/2 after the fact but nevertheless here is how it looks.
ES 30min for 4/4 (Wed) and 4/5 (Thurs). Tomorrow (Wed) looks very choppy, Thursday 4/5 you will have a good swing up and then back down. Negative slope on Thurs changes how you would look at this chart
