What is the New York open strategy? Here it is, on a real chart.
This is the Nasdaq, one candle every 15 minutes. At 9:30, New York opens. The first candle sets the direction. The 12 EMA: the average of the last 12 candles, recent ones count more. First candle closes above the 12 EMA: buy. Below it: sell. Then the stop follows the trend.
