Stanley Dash of TradeStation Securities will discuss concepts and challenges related to the analysis and trading of CBOT’s electronically traded metals futures. Topics include a review of the volume and open interest of these contracts. However, raw volume numbers can be misleading without examining the trading hours in these and competing markets and making session-adjusted comparisons. Such session-adjusted comparisons may also be important to price analysis. Using the TradeStation platform to make these types of session adjustments will be demonstrated; these adjustments will then be used for comparison of CBOT metals not only to other metals, but also to such markets as Treasury notes and bonds.
