That's how I work set-up on longer term chart via a 1 min trigger, here is visual. <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1742913>
What do you mean by RTH, is it real time hours of the cash index and not the future hours ? what gives you 24 hours if the future trade 8:00 - 22:00, there are no bars beyond this hours ?
Yes, regular trading hours. I use data source which tracks US after hours performance and incorporates it into a DAX chart, so after 10pm you would not get any data on your chart whereas I do, hence you could not see that pattern on 5.
I see, thank very much for your help. I found them go the same direction but not the same strength - the ES is around the low of August while the DAX is far above.
