congratulations DT, right on the money

Thanks RF!

Thanks for posting you spreadsheet results. I presume your "Best Guess" is just that and applies to the Globex session?
Not really and no.
== nothing posted below is trading advice - Educational only ====
The PM estimates are for tomorrow's RTH session (but I don't use these estimates as is). The PM estimates posted are a selection of those the many estimates made by the spreadsheet. What I have labeled Best Guess is just one of them which is often pretty good. (and which is called R,L & P in the spreadsheet). The one labelled Visual is simply my eye-balling the chart. I haven't tested which is the most reliable, so I post the entire selection.
Also I make a separate estimate of the o/n session (meaning 15:30 to 7:30 CT), which wasn't shown - but I could add it if you like. (The missing time slice of 7:30 to 8:30 is a separate time window for me which I call the Pre-open).
For example, last night the o/n estimate was 1406.25 to 1394.25. (not posted) The actual was 1407.75 (18:41) to 1401 (5:12). If I was trading the o/n then the first number 1407.75 being close to 1406.25 would be an estimated entry price and when it got close 1406.25 and failed I would enter (ie short in this case as the o/n high was first).
I make new estimates in the morning including the new information from the o/n session - but as I am so rushed in the morning I can't post the Am estimates before opening.
========================================================
A person could take the evening estimates and use them as is for the RTH.
OR
take the evening estimates and adjust them by the difference between the close and the open (the gap).
(I haven't tested which is best. I would guess that if the gap is greater than 4 pts then adjust them.)
========================================================
I don't know which of the PM estimates is more accurate. My guess would be that if there is a steady trend and consistent range then Estimated Mid Est Rng would be best? If it's fluctuating then the Sheet estimate? If you don't know then Best Guess or Aver All?
Perhaps the best way to use them, is to make a guess one's self and then pick the estimate which most closely matches ones' own estimate?
I hope that helps.
