My trading is hectic around 10-12. then it's like watching paint dry (sitting on your hands). i usually just set my stop and leave, checking every so often. if i don't get any good setups then i take mediocre ones and usually lose money (i should be fishing instead). some of the time i don't find a lot of gappers for my watchlist so i'll go all morning without a trade for a day or two. this is b/c i need more sources before and after the market opens (workin' on it..) goodluck, dan. p.s. i don't trade afternoons.
It depends, if you're a momo trader then most of the week is spent waiting for those signals or it should be. That's the discipline.
I guess all the money I've made day trading in the last 6 years was for nothing? Move along little troll.
