Pattern day trading would be a problem on an account less than 25k so finding the afternoon edge and getting out the next morning would overcome that. Albert
lol, I trade 6 minutes a day then I go work for a bill collector. The rest of my life I am here...rofl...
Trade mostly nasdaq but my best opportunties are in the 1st 90 minutes of the day. Will only trade the afternoons maybe one day a week.
If I'm trading after 11:30am, it means I lost money in the morning and I'm working out of the hole. However, most of the time I am done before lunch.
AM Trader!!! All the way! As well as other traders, if I am sitting here after 11.30am, I am digging myself out of a hole. There may be 1 or 2 trades in the afternoon, but I am usually at the beach or gym by that point! Get in make your money - and get out!
One of my methods is entering after the 4:00 PM close of the index futures and holding overnight until the open. I know it is nuts to some....but does anybody else trade this way
