Does anybody auto trade 24 hours? If so which instruments on which exchanges? How realistic is this in practise for the retail trader?
yes, i do via MT4 on 3 pairs. couldn't be happier at age 22. whenever i get my discretionary method coded that will be even better and i can run that in the futures markets as well as FX.
I trade the E-minis during the regular trading hours, the Nikkei 225 on the SGX in the evening and the DAX during the night. Its not a full 24 hours, but there is plenty of liquidity in those markets when they're open. You could also trade currency futures on Globex pretty much 24 hours a day, but they get fairly thin overnight. - Paccc
