Quote from aPismoClam:

how do you figure the opening range for something that effectively doesn't close?

If I remember right they simply use the first few minutes of RTH as a gauge.
 
It is easy, Frankfurt opens (starts trading) at 1am EST, London at 2am EST, so the opening range is around this area. Mark Fisher sets the opening range for EUR, CHF and GBP at 2:30am-3:00am EST.

I am currently testing the basic strategy described in Mark Fisher's book (chapter 1), without the rubberband trades. So just the basic A-entries and C reversals, stops near the other side of the opening range. I did not read a concrete rule for profit exit (or did I miss that) so am testing for a exit myself, ie EOD, % exit etc. I am using tradestation with optimax.

The basic rule as described I expected to be a loser, so instead of testing for hard offsets and exits, I am tying those inputs to be % of ATR/opening range/or anything that is dynamic. It appears to have some merit. Work still in progress. So far I have tested it on ER2.
 
I used to calc ACD pivots for asian / european

trading of the majors ( FX ) based on the NY hours

I found it of interest to watch how
the numbers would be tested during those hours

I have not been trading FX much this yr

so do not know if the
Acd methodology ( pivots ) would work as well
now as it had been doing during these hours

:)
