Quote from Neet:
I don't ignore the first 15 minutes, I just don't trade it.
However, some traders find real good opportunities during that timeframe. It's just not my style but I do extract info from the timeframe to create some customed indicators, nothing fancy, just personal style.
...
Godspeed.
puretick use first 15m to create a chop zone, above = bullish, inside = chop, etc.. Fisher take the middle of 15m and create line in the sand, above = bullish, you get the idea and yet another one use first 15m to calculate the prem of future from cash. It is good that you did not just 'skip' it as you posted.
