the reason for setups at 5:00 p.m. cst. " likely reasons " ...

1. This is when the European markets are closing ?

2. This is when the US after hours trading begins in the Futures ?


just some possibilities
If anyone else has a reason for why good trade setups tend to occur on a consistent basis at this time ( 5:00 p.m. cst. ) please share

The 7:00 p.m. setups and market moves is due to the Asian markets trading ,
it's just this 5:00 p.m. that need to put a finger on

No, the European markets are long closed, by then: 5.00 pm CST is 11.00 pm in London, and 00.00 in Frankfurt.

This is true, but I have no idea whether it accounts for what you're noticing.

If it helps at all, Sydney opens at 5.00 pm EST and Tokyo opens at 7.00 pm EST.

Hi Tymbeline ,

Thank you for the link to the different Market Hours

I went through my tick chart and scanned through all of the major Futures,
and still kept noticing that at 17:00 , there are some great setups ( these occur on a single candle usually ) and that candle tends to always be big

So maybe the action and setups that I'm seeing, are due to the Sydney Market having been open for 1 hr. = the fact that the New York stock exchange has been closed for 1 hour ( and this is also the time that you can enter new positions and not be held to the overnight margin requirements , if trading the Futures ) + the Tokyo Market is due to open 1 hr. from this time , so this could be their pre-market " action " I am seeing

I will try and take some screenshots of these setups over the weekend, and post them to the thread
