24h futures really screws up technical indicators.
What do traders do to adjust for this?
I was testing with stock market hours on some futures and got some good results, but I got bad results on products like the Yen or Aussie dollar since our market hours aren't necessarily the most traded hours for the yen.
Do they adjust yen by their heavy trading period?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Yes I understand but electronic is 24h while open outcry times are limited.
Basically I do not want to use electronic because 24h has too many slow periods, so I am looking to figure out which periods of time to use. Should I base myself on open outcry (which seems too short) or electronic (which 24h is too long)..I am sure many traders much adjust for this.
If you believe RTH is wrong, I would be interested in seeing a chart with volume on it marking the RTH hours, and why you think RTH is not capturing the bulk of the volume. I don't trade gold, but it would seem odd that Gold is somehow a special market compared to all other futures.
try this and then just trade the high range/volume areas.. im pretty sure there is an indie to highlight specified hours somewhere in download section..
Each instrument has its specific times, when it can be traded, and also has its times, when trading does not pay off. The question is. how to determine the optimal trading times?
