Cisco-Futures MP levels

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

 

I was going thru cisco-futures's market profiles and noticed that they calculate MP levels based on different time period. Their TPO period starts from 7:00am till 4:30pm(central). Obviously this will be result quiet different MP levels even though the volumes on those pre/after market activities are usually low. For those of you who are taking cisco-futures' class, any comments are appreciated. For those of you who are following MOM, what you guys think... Thanks,

I just realized that cisco-futures' tpo time period is totally customizable. I was scratching my head wondering why would someone use those particular period tpo. It turn out that default time period they used was that. :rolleyes:

That's interesting. I was looking through trying to figure out what day you were looking at...then I saw the time being from 8 till 530est. I personally think that even though it's a 24 hour session, the profile should be formed by the bulk of trading which occurs from 930am est until close at 5:15. That's how I have my charts setup. The IB will vary hugely by having a start time of 8am. A lot of brokerages won't even let retail trade index futures until 9:30 too. Definitely something to take into consideration.
