I usually trade 4am CST to 10 am CST


@wldman
I gather you don't like trade the opening and the closing hours of the European markets - too volatile?

That is where all the fun is. I have not moved back to the London open but 4am to 10 am is the volatile time. That is what I like.

I think it would be easier to stay in front of the computer for long periods of time if your average trade takes up a large amount of time. How long is your average trade duration?

Actually, I make 1 trade and than I quit. I devote more time training and improving skills.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.

there is no time limit -- sometimes it takes few seconds and sometimes days
-- all depends on the price action

P.S.
I think I'm becoming a junkie futures.io (formerly BMT) member
