Robert:
I'd suggest that instead of thinking of the open as a meaningless time that
has now been left behind, you do some statistics on specific time periods
in markets that trade 24 hours a day--Cash FX, for example. The open period
is not moot--although it may not always be the most critical time
period found in any commodities trading period.
To boil it down to a few words: There are specific repeatable critical
times that occur frequently in a given commodity. I have seen the data,
[run on a series of machines that would make Mark whistle and drool] and I
have seen the results.
Best,
Tim Morge
