Here i meet a problem, I normally collect only open market data, but start my application often earlier, i just switched the sessiontime of the ES 3 hours earlier in Globalserver and found I have often data much earlier but not very constant, so the results would not be too meaningfull cause i miss the premarket data in ~30%, on what timeframe should that be? 5 Min?
Interesting in every case, I have not yet good ideas around opening or trading gaps. If I find out something i will post it.

OK....I found some probs using the MACD, cause from which degree of crossover/distance of the 2 lines is this meaningful? A somewhat easier to code solution was the use of rateofchange, I want to have the rateofchange some minimum triggeramount in the positive or negative 5 min prior open to define a positive or negative premarket action. So far my data are useable, I found out the following: Yes, this seems to be tradeable, I used simply a marketorder at 0945, simply a fixed stopsize the same as the fixed profittarget or exit at 1130.
It seems to be a marketbehavior not working all the time cause negative results in 2004, i expect this working more better in calm times, not so good in high vola, but that`s just opinion. Next it`s not good having a gap in tradingdirection, a gap under for long is ok, but a gap up for long is bad.
So this is not yet a strategy, cause the simple exits.
Best results were with 6 points Stop/target, but this could be different with other exits.

@spike, i post the code later, so you can test it yourself with your data and give us your results, you are using TS or?
