It's the exception, but it does happen. Day-after-trend days are good examples where that first pullback may only occur overnight.<BR/><BR/>I also firmly believe I could trade a chart based on price alone without the TICK and VIX alone ... although it's definitely tougher. Trading ES off the DAX can also work, so the DAX essentially acts as a solid indicator for ES.<BR/><BR/>I suppose the question may be does one give up such incremental opportunity or simply forgo it to focus on the main session?<BR/><BR/>On 12/31, I'll take a look at all the stats and ultimate outcome and try to draw some conclusions for 2009.<BR/><BR/>DonDon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263493919935087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709390629316238746.post-65483394179064779012008-09-17T13:47:00.000-04:002008-09-17T13:47:00.000-04:00Don, I guess my question is really - don't you fee...Don, I guess my question is really - don't you feel you are giving up a lot of your edge in trading Globex e-minis - because of the lack of VIX and TICK readings?

If Eurex is trading though, it can be a decent indicator for ES until the U.S. session take the lead.<BR/><BR/>Steve :-).<BR/><BR/>Matt - No special software in terms of notes ... just the Blogger.

Obviously TICKS are not present in the overnight Globex session. How do you compensate?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16198824838518491872noreply@blogger.com
