| Daylight saving time in US
I thought my SB tick charts (both Dow etc. amd FTSE100) had started to look odd - activity and ranges of 5min bars was falling off after 8pm, missing bars etc., when I expected market activity to carry on as normal another hour until New York closed. I suspected a problem with data feed to the charts. Actually, the US implemented daylight saving time on 08/03. The time in New York is now only 4 hours behind the UK: US DST runs until 01/11. However, on Sunday 29/03, we will also put our clocks forward so the difference will return to 5 hours as usual through the summer. Happens every year but has caught me out again. |

Its easy to forget US holidays too. Non farm days, even FOMC days. Half days can sometimes catch out day traders too.
