ah thank you maco.  Is there a prize for answering correctly?

I was thinking of giving users a choice.. BTC/LTC/XRP
However, I am not a heavy duty funder so I wouldn't be the right person to prize out rewards.

I would accept talking to any sponsors who want to fund rewards in some way shape or form.

peak quoted price was 266 ...230 may have been the opening using ohlcv( o)pen (h)igh ( l)ow (c)lose (v)olume... just sayin' -source www.clarkmoody.com

edit tradingview shows a different opening but high (peak) is 266 on both bcz the stochastic candle closes differently on each I think

[maco]

peak quoted price was 266 ...230 may have been the opening using ohlcv( o)pen (h)igh ( l)ow (c)lose (v)olume... just sayin' -source www.clarkmoody.com

makes sense. The close was $230 tho which enabled people for trading. I am sticking with $230 as the high trade/exchange point. Your source is fine tho, it did hit $266.

Common people.. Someone needs to know the answer to this:
