Any Aussies DayTrading US markets?

I am From Australia too VIC/NSW border. I swing trade the US markets with CFD's and have just started demoing FX. I have been lucky enough to quit my job 18 months ago to concentrate on trading while the missus brings home the bread. I'm only just starting to get successful and have a very small account. I have kids to look after during the day so i find it a fair struggle to get some sleep just getting up to trade my price alerts in the middle of the night.
But with the FX i am finding some good trades coming along every now and then during the daytime :D

Mike,

If your trading strategy is sound why not go to "auto"?

Hi TRS,

I started out as casual trader. Then i realised that you need to treat this serious and like a business (not a hobby). So I quit my job and took it full on for a year. The results were ok, but not consistent enough to live off confidently. So I got back to getting a job, and try to trade as well. I am only trading the morning session, but speaking to a few people, they suggest going for the arfternoon session.

If I could do it full time, I would. Just need to be pointed in the right direction I guess. :)

What do you trade, what are your hours?
Also, I'm from Sydney. You?

Thanks in advance.

Mike

Stick at it mate. Best game in the World.

I trade AUD/USD (6A), Euro (6E), GBP (6B), S&P500 (ES), 10 Yr US T-Note (ZN) and Crude oil (CL). Find it a good portfolio.

My hours are variable. The market is always there. I've lost more money fronting up to the screen when I should have been taking it easy.

From Melbourne. Look out next year: Melbourne Rebels give the 'tahs a hiding :)

IF FX Spot works for you, all good. Take a look at Currency Futs @CME

Trade index options on the US markets whilst in Melbourne. Find the most volume being moved is in the last couple of hours so trade for a couple of hours before heading off to my day job. Works well for me.
