for NON-day traders. Who here gets gas by watching all of these ridculous flashing lights and moving real time charts with alerts etc. (i sound like an old man...I am 31). I say do your analysis...make a list...enter your orders...enter stops and turn the damn thing OFF! Check it once a day... My results are MUCH better without level 2, without news, without TV, without fed announcements, without real time charitng etc. Who else has been more succesful with simpler platforms and trading methodology?
I dont know. If I was a swing trader I would be worried all the time outside of RTH. Now I only have to worry a few minutes a day. Different strokes for different folks.
