“=maxinger, post: “You can't enter the trade now as the market is not open. When the market opens, look at the chart. Then decide from there.” I agree zdeg, that was a strange comment to make from someone who claims to be a trader. Makes you wonder.
Are you a complete fraud? Or a bored kid/ senile old person? I can’t believe anyone with 10,000+ posts on a trading website just wrote “you can’t trade now”….. at 9:06am EST By 9am I had already opened half a dozen positions, and covered/added to a few from overnight
Trade whatever way you want mister. It doesn't matter to me. If your way of trading is profitable, then continue doing what you are doing.
About 2 hours before the US stock market opens, that is a good time to trade European index futures, US index futures, copper, oil, gold, bond, natural gas ..... futures. In fact, I am now waiting for the trading opportunities. I wouldn't trade US stocks before the opening.
Some people trade US stocks before the US stock market opens. Some people trade US stocks after the US stock market opens. Do what you like. It is your choice. You have the power to make choices. You don't have to follow what other people are doing. In fact, you can do the reverse of what other people are doing.
It might be worth closely monitoring their price action during market open, especially with PANW showing positive movement on earnings.
