With the 20 EMA being a key indicator in Al's strategy how do folks handle extended hours and aggregation setting as the location of the 20 EMA is a bit different between settings (at least in thinkorswim).
- Extended Hours - On or Off?
- Aggregation at Market Open - On or Off?
Hi Eric. This is really only an issue during the first couple hours of the day session in which the Globex and day session 20 EMA positions can be significantly different especially if there is a large opening gap. I will use the Globex positioning during those first couple hours when making trading decisions. I've got 8 years in and I've found that the Globex position is best when they are different. After 2 or 2 1/2 hours they are about the same and so it no longer matters.

I don't know what you mean by this
- Aggregation at Market Open - On or Off?
The above is from video 04 of the BTC. Hope that helps.
Using Quantower or OptimusFLOW allows you to turn off bars outside the regular trading hours and thereby get the same EMA as Al's chart.
