Look to volume to tell you when to trade ... never trade thin markets. If you do not pay attention to volume, then make today the first day that you include vol studies in your decision making. If you trade forex, then make today the first day that you switch to futures.
Data feed needs money. And one cannot watch different markets at the same time, so it seems to be best to concentrate on a few potential ones! What do you think?
The only thing I'm worried about 24-hour market is whether they will have momentum at any time (so I can catch any profitable short-term trend). So does the forex futures market usually go up and down all the time, or just move sideways for most of the time?
Why don't you look at a FREE chart and then ask semi-intelligent questions! http://www.dailyfx.com/FinanceChart.html
But it just shows the most recent part for 1/5min charts. I can't look back its historical data. A small part of a day doesn't mean anytihng statistically. And it could be time-consuming to wait and watch the forex for over 1 month without trading. I think someone might know the answer, so I can learn form them! ;D Anyway do you know if there're any places which provide historical intraday data?

You should move to europe, it's a very nice timezone for trading the U.S. markets. They open at 3.30pm CET, so you have the whole morning free for other things. The lunch break is from 6-8 pm, you can have dinner then. This means it's also possible to work at "real" job during the day and just trade the afternoon session. The markets close at 10pm CET, so you can even hit the clubs afterwards.
Then again, trade US futures from Hawaii. Done with work around 9 or 10 am. Go play in the ocean all day, early dinner, and then to bed. great if you are a surfer, windsurfer, etc.
