  1. On a typical day when do you find the best chances are for the stocks you trade going on a big RIP or TANK??

    I find the time period of 12pm-3pmEST really quite challanging to find any REAL moves.

    Anyone else trade only the morning session and the close?
     
  2. Well as you can see I am a West Coast trader and I put all times in PST!

    Moderator please change times to EST to avoid confusion... thanks!:confused:
     
  3. yea do that
     
  4. Uhh...add 3 hours if you are on the east coast...
    DUH
     
  5. about two hours after i eat a pot full of chili :D
     
  6. chili is killer for sure, but so good!
     
  7. 8-11.


    Afternoon is difficult. Then 1:30-3 it starts getting easier.
     
  8. Opps, thought the 630-9 was the pre-market. I voted wrong
     
  9. I should of made an option for pre-market/after-market as well....

    Those have gotta be some crazy rips trading before/after the bell!

    The YM really slows down at NY and Chicago lunch times, I'm thinking of working just the early and afternoon sessions with an algo running while I take off for breakfast with the senoritas at the local hashery here in Smalltown, So Calif.
