COG ....... I would trade the US market with Limit Orders entered at a time best suited for you, whether the market is open or not - forget non-us markets.
It's pretty much guaranteed you're going to lose money already with that approach. Look, why not simply trade US stocks on a higher timeframe chart rather than requiring "daytrading" time-frames such that you have to seek out other international markets?
I want to day trade. That is what I am comfortable with. I will day trade US stocks on my off days. Nobody has yet given me a reason against trading on other international markets. Do you have any reservations for not trading on international market? when you say "lose money", are you referring to trading on international markets? Bigger timeframes still occur within my work hours.
No, I meant needing to "watch the trades as they progress." Look, if you just want to trade, then simply trade futures. It doesn't even sound like the instrument really matters to you that much, other than "I wanna daytrade stocks." If the answer to this is "no, I don't know about futures and I don't want to learn about futures, I only want stocks" then we're done here.
Thanks, but I disagree with you on losing money watching trades progress. I know what my entry and exit criteria are. I will make money day trading. Let's not go far as to say what is guaranteed or not. As for futures, I do not know how to trade them but I am willing to learn in due course though.
There's nothing complicated about futures. Read about them for a few hours and you have figured it out. Again, why don't you just look at the components of Australian or German indexes and well just, trade them?
