Starting it off. I'll be quite busy over the next several weeks, so my time in here will be light and sporadic, but then hopefully in a month or so it will settle down, and I'll be able to do more. Monday is a holiday, but there will be some futures trading tomorrow, so we won't be without some fun.

Yes, that was the key line I was looking at, marcin. Al's 'backtest' line is also something to consider, but I don't like charting the SPY because it is RTH only. It can be supplemental, but not primary for me.

Now, there is something else very obvious that only my latest mentor students would get, but it isn't something I want posted in here, so this is just a hint for them to look for it.

And so there's the advantage of charting the RTH ETF's, as shown once again by rat. They have their own dynamic which is just as valid as charting an all-sessions futures contract. For me, since I work the ES, I want to just concentrate on that dynamic, so I rarely mix them. I think it could add value, but it would add a lot more work, and potentially a lot of ambiguity I don't need.
