Tutorial | Lesson 4: Key Levels When Trading 24 Hour MarketsLet's look at some key levels to identify before each trading session, especially when trading around the clock markets like futures.
Before the cash session bell, what are the prices for the following levels?
Prior Session High/Low
Overnight High/Low
Developing Value Area High/Low
And then, at 8:30a ET, is price above or below the prior session high or low? Are we seeing an inside or outside day? Other levels worth consideration are prior sessions POC, High Volume Nodes (HVN) for possible areas of support or resistance, and price relative to our trend filter.
