What "TIME" of the day do you trade Most often?

Discussion in 'Trading' started by F-Trader, Aug 8, 2005.

  1. I only trade Intraday (daytrading).

    Very rare that I hold overnight.

    I'm actually averaging around $780 a day this year with my trading. My guess is that it would be higher if I stopped trading around 11:30.

    I'm going to post my Fades today before the market opens.

  3. I trade intraday and swing. Intraday I am rarely in a trade after 12 noon EST unless we are in a major move. In the swings I could care less. When she tells me she's done moving in a direction I listen.

  4. 3:00pm CST just go long any US index future contract, place a stop, wake up around 3:00am CST and start looking for an exit. This go long strategy has been golden for the past 6 months, why slug it out with all the day traders. Remember most day traders have been brain washed to never hold positions overnight.

    Thanks for your posts. I didn't look at this thread till afternoon but my best trades are fading gap opens in NYSE stocks. I am curious how you come up with your list. do you have a scanner for stocks trading a certain percentage away from close in premarket or something? I usually use specialist indications on NYSE stocks for stocks I follow with no news to indicate an abnormally weak or strong open and than get the opening print. Unfortunately most mornings most stocks open in a normal area and I don't make any opening print trades. If you could let us know more about how you come up with your list it would be much appreciated
