Quote from Lawrence Chan:
1. The opening range became the high of the day after an hour
LC or others: Can you define opening range? What is the time period you are referring to? Is it 9:30 - 10:30 est (opening of equity markets?
Thanks,
Webb
As others already posted, you need to work on that yourself to figure out a time range best for your style.
Aside from gap play, I do not usually engage in a trade until after 10 am ET. Thus I like using the first 30 min range.
I know a friend who use the first 5 min range as the bull/bear line and avoid taking a trade if the price is in that area. That filter works very well for him.
