    If you are in Mountain time, these are the times you should watch for: Sunday, the market opens at 4.00 MST. It closes daily at 2.15 your time and reopens at 2.30 your time. Then it closes for an hour between 3-4 MST. A new day is considered on the open of 4 PM your time. I hope this helps.

    Demoralized. Is 14 losses in a row normal?

    I am surprised that no one asked him to list his winning traders and compare them his losing trades. How could you develop a whole discussion over something random such as "14 trades"? Also, during what period were the winning trades versus losing trades? These small factors would reveal his...
