Hi Guys,


What is the general consensus about the start- and end time of the trading day for the NQ, RTY and YM futures markets?

I am using daily pivot points and daily OHLC indicators with my trading.

I know that the futures are actively traded between 8:30 - 15:15 central time.

I can set a end time in the intraday chart, but I know that will effect how the indicator will calculate the result.

Should I use 15:15, 15:30, or 00:00 hours as my end time in my charts? I appreciate the advice.


Cheers Zonescalper
