Us Stocks - Trading Morning Session Vs Afternoon.

Discussion in 'Trading' started by DEM BONES, Apr 2, 2011.

  1. I'M FINDING I CAN BE MORE CONSISTENT TRADING THE AM ONLY (NEW YORK TIME)VS TRADING BOTH SESSIONS - AM AND AFTERNOON.ALSO FINDING IT BETTER TO JUST WALK AWAY FOR THE DAY AFTER A GOOD AM.

    WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE?
     
  2. A long time ago I used to be totally confused by the AM action and only traded after the first hour of trade, but then I realized that if you come into the day with a game plan and look at the previous day's trading as well as the overnight action, it gives you a much better chance of profitably trading the morning market. I make most of my bones now in the first 90 min of trade.

    The afternoon trade to me is a lot of noise unless there is a strong trend or big volatility. So probably 8-9 times out of 10, it is noise.
     
  3. Forget the whole morning, often times trading just the open hooks me up.
