Broker overnight prices

Those trading on IG, remember price between 9pm and 7am is synthetic. It’s IG's pricing based on an algo that tracks Asian markets,
so it's not actual Dax trading
Q: Is that the same with the PRT charts? I mean the synthetic pricing?
A: If any broker is showing price between these times, it’s synthetic. That’s why on IG you often see a big spike at 6.45 where they try and bring their price back in line with expected futures open. I bound the the overnight range in red on my charts, so I know levels in that area may not be real. I just look at the overall behaviour in that period to get a picture of general strength/sentiment.



Q: Is overnight action from 9pm?
On my charts. I just mark from midnight because it’s easier. Or the obvious low in that period.
This is why you cannot calculate pivots using broker prices - you must you cash data only.
