Portara | The Big Data Powerhouse
Where Has the Open Gone? (Is legacy daily data dead?)
Has 24h trading destroyed the significance of the open as a precursor to initiate a trade? Read the editorial article written by Arthur Maddock for CTA Intelligence magazine.
Arthur talks about ‘Volatility Off The Open’ style systems. This is a major paradigm shift that should make you pause for thought. The significance of this phenomenon may have profound effects upon your backtested results or worse. If you are a CTA or Quant testing for trade verification strategies in this area then this article is worth reading. There is a video about the article’s conclusions in the video section.
