Re: CASH index is poor model for Oddball & Variants

I delete the first 5 minutes of the cash indexes, as it takes many stocks
that much time to begin trading after the 9:30 NY open.

Some of the secondary ETF's based on mid and small cap issues also open 5
min. late because they too need to see where those issues open.

For swing trading (2-8 days) this method works ok. Dont know how it would
affect oddball as I dont use it.
