How would you suggest to measure the volatility of SPY and DIA and compare changes in the two?

Thanks Don

Thanks for the reply Surdo. Im not searching for the grail, just trying to add another setup to the mix. I just feel like overnight and premarket movements in the futures are important data to include in pivot calcs because they indicate uncertanty and volatility, for instance, big moves in...

Does anyone have a good method for calculating pivot points for SPY that incorporates the overnight highs and lows in the ES?? I also have the problem that I am not sure that the price levels in SPY match up with the front month ES contract, for instance lets say the price of ES is 1336.50...
