    Add the ranges of the first two 30 min periods of trade, then add that total combined range to the high of the first two 30 min periods and subtract it from the low of the first 30 min range. Then slap your dick and count the seconds until it stops hurting. (Ladies slap the dick of the nearest male and count how long it takes him to stop complaining about it.) If more than 15 seconds, take the under.
