German index traders tell me this........

Greetings all
I'ld like some input on which times to use when calculating pivot points on the DAX. I have sourced these times from wikipedia and the Eurex website. All are local German time.

Eurex 8:00am-22:00pm
X-DAX 17:45pm-22:00pm
Floor - Frankfort Stock Exchange 9:00am-20:00pm
Xetra 9:00am-17:30pm

I know there are online sources which do this for you but I calculate mine slightly differently.

I thought The obvious answer is to use the floor hours even though I still find it hard to believe they close @ 8pm. But why not a combination like earliest time to latest?


Also what is exactly is the difference between the Eurex and Xetra?
 
One way is to use the cash stock exchange times, I would think that would be at least 80% of the trading volume in Dax.

8am - probably 4pm (Euro time).

Whatever you use won't make that much difference overtime, as long as you remain constant.
