The Intra-Day Momentum Method™ begins with a fixed reference point: the session open.
Intraday movement is measured relative to that opening price. This creates a consistent reference structure for evaluating how price behaves during the session.
Research principle:
the reference point must be fixed before behavior can be measured consistently.
Why This Matters
Without a fixed reference point, intraday analysis often becomes dependent on chart settings, timeframe selection, or subjective interpretation.
By anchoring measurement to the session open, the framework creates a repeatable structure for comparing behavior across symbols, sessions, and conditions.
