Quote from justrading:

Quote: Past research has shown that irregular sleep patterns and shift work take a toll on even the healthiest person over an extended period.

It's shift work and irregularity that disrupt circadian rhythms.

I have it down regular as clockwork, and I reckon it's my natural sleep-wake cycle.

I could never eat a proper breakfast in the morning before work; always start getting really hungry mid-afternoon onwards, that's when I start to be really sharp.

Early rising for work really took its toll on me. Finally, I am doing what comes naturally.



I read your reply and reckoned you would disagree. Maybe you`re an outlier?

I do suppose that if you have it down like clockwork consistently, it is a different matter, as long as you`re exposed to sunlight.

The article I linked to was only one among many and I do believe science have found that there are certain processes that happen in the body only if you sleep during a certain time window (prior to midnight by a wide margin). Circadian cycles, internal processes and the release of certain hormones are very real, but I suppose one could change one`s biological clock.

For some fifteen years I traded both night and days while sleeping during the late afternoon till 23:30, I got so tired of it, I hired people to stay up evenings/nights so I didn't have to. If messes up everything, one's disposition, relationships, outlook on life, but it is generally the best trading around, at least for me. You can't really do volume in currency futures so you have to go to Forex for size, but the German markets can handle just about anything. Crude Oil offers nice trends but you have to be able to accept what you can get but it is not as jagged as it is in Day session. I don't trade the U.S. Indexes at all during the night session, moves are very short for me and risk is often all over the place cause it doesn't take much to hit stops cause of the lite volume.

Just have to be very aware of the reports that come out at night, and be out of the market before they come out, the slippage can be staggering.

I trade at night because I have a full time job. I am a part time trader. However I trade in my trading zone and avoid to late night trading. There is not any health issue so far.

Yup, I trade CL at night because I live in Japan.

Work during the daytime & trade futures at night.
