Futures electronic hours
💡 This idea focuses on trading futures during the electronic trading hours — the periods outside the regular cash session, where unique price behavior often occurs due to lower liquidity and algorithmic dominance.
📊 Core Strategy:
During electronic hours (typically post-market/pre-market), futures like ES, NQ, or CL often show sharp moves driven by global macro news, low-volume liquidity zones, or overnight positioning. These moves can offer high-probability setups when combined with key levels from the regular session.
🧠 How to use it:
1. Mark key support/resistance levels from the previous regular session.
2. During electronic hours (e.g., 6 PM – 9 AM ET), monitor price interaction with these levels.
3. Look for rejection, breakout, or fakeout signals, ideally with volume spikes.
4. Use tight risk management due to increased volatility and spreads.
⏱️ Electronic hours are often overlooked but can offer clean technical setups for experienced traders, especially in quiet news environments or after major macro releases.
📌 Works well with futures contracts like ES, NQ, CL, and GC. Can also be adapted for FX and crypto markets which trade 24/7.
