I miss the days when markets didn’t trade overnight

    Some of the larger BTC up moves were in the middle of the night. I did well catching most of the moves when they started instead of buying in higher hours later. I was just reminiscing about the old days when I started the thread. Lots of opportunities if you’re willing to watch the overnight though. I didn’t trust leaving open orders out there while I slept, that’s what I’m gonna do going forward.

  2. Was there ever a time you hated days off and the weekends because the Market was closed? Asking for a friend :)

    I guess you now know the pain of being a competition fisherman.

    Tough gig. Especially since all you have to do is sit behind a desk, and NOT engage out on the ocean in the dark in a skiff with a few fishing poles, around sharks.

    No worries at all.

    (I.E., Quit yer bichin'.)
