I suggest doing an analysis of all your trades for some length of time such as a year. I found that only 2% of my total profits were made between 13:00 to 14:00 so I use that time to have lunch, shower, attempt to pleasure the gf, etc.
Nice thread. For more than a year I used to trade only the premarket and the first hour. I usually avoid post market because psychologically not comfortable with loosing at the end of day. For L2 traders I guess the morning is easy. Almost all L2 scalpers I know focus mostly on the morning for high volumes and quick moves. Since September last year I've ventured to look for trades all day long as a effort to diversify my skills. Still almost 2/3 of my profits come before 10:30 only.
Am I the only one using the Stocktrad3r inverse (patent pending) method? I am up 234,015% since I began following his advice.
