some analysis in our chatroom today examined hundreds of symbols (ETFs and large cap stocks) that make their high of the day or low of the day in the first hour of trading. To our surprise there are a considerable number who’s probability of an early high or low of the day is greater than 95%.
That’s a staggering number, especially when we examine how much follow thru after the first hour there can be; we’ll be working this up into a tarding staregy pretty quickly because we like the odds and the additional control it gives over our trading, once the morning shenanigans at the open are past
