hoot,if you watch the uvol/dvol comparison chart ,there are only 4 types,a trenday,those are the 10% of the time to watch for,a back and forth where they intertwine and change leads, a reversal ,and then just a grind up or down where one leads most of the day but the ratio 3/2 or 5/3 doesn't vary much all day.this will give you a clue on how to trade it,expecting nice extensions up or down or being happy with meager new highs or lows and cover there ,expecting it to be well under control ... the chart is feb 1...a trendday up where the dvol flat lined all day
short 7:51 1330.25
out 7:56 -1
What I'm doing... aim to put a bracket on one of the first couple of bars, with some filters for why. Then I aim to chase it around. In backtesting I over time BE but then gain a few points on the trend from the open days. But I really do this to break thru my instinctive hesitation to place an order each morning.

loong 1331.5 8:10
stop moved to 1332.75
for me, what seems to be an advantage to doing this way of trading the open, is that often I can catch the high or low of the day with a swing trade... if I don't trail my stop to close after the first 30 min or so.
8:37 stop to 1333.5
that looked overly exhuberant,
out at 1335.5 8:35 +4
