  1. Trading after 11:00 AM, definately reduces the odds of being profitable, 90% of the trading days in this market past few months.

    Adapt or die...the rule is not the strongest, or the fastest or the brightest win...but rather those that adapt faster. I've switched from short term (intra-day) to long term swings. So far so good. If/when that fails, I'll be on to some other strategy.

  6. You mean you are awake from 2:30-4, or do you nap from 11-2:30! :D

    Only trade 30 min patterns in the lunch hour...Obvious setups. Prior 11.00 am is where the gold is.

  9. Ahhhh overtrading...the bane of traders...

    Usually from greed, boredom, or need to fulfill that high you get when you're in a trade (not unlike a gambler)...

    ...Look within, not out!!!
