minus the last two weeks, I find that the afternoons are the most boring and dangerous times to trade, I find usually one nice big full position trade around 3:15 est. other than that I usually end up making 150 trades that just cost me commission. If you are scalping the morning is where all the candy is, after the first couple of hours I try to slow down. The month of April has been an exception though, volatility all over the place,....minus the afternoons for the most part though. Before April I would look for things to do in the afternoon so I would not over trade.
ahhh yes......... i'm trading in Bangkok, Thailand - hence my trading morning session only - there's a 12 or 11 hour time difference depending on summer time hours thingies. I tried staying up 'til 4 a.m. a few times, but staying awake thru the lunch 'quiet' period was a pain. Made going to thai language classes even more tiring, aswell..... cheerio coops
