Quote from Lucrum:
There is only one time zone between you and I MORON. Do you not have ANY experience with FX? Some of the biggest moves are in the very early morning hours. NO ONE knowing anything about and wanting to trade FX would choose to work third shift in Peoria.
Disclaimer: I am NOT flaming him!
Okay Lucrum, so I work nights. I am the RN. I have staff. I have a smartphone, I have access to Oanda thru that smartphone. If you have a trading plan, it takes seconds, literally to make a decision on what to do based on where price is at.
You have never been in a position where you get to sit behind the desk and point, so I understand why this would confuse you. ( NOT A FLAME)
I work nights because I prefer to be awake and productive during the actual and true open of the FX market, which is Europe, correct? What time is it when Europe opens?
That is why I work nights. I moved from second to third shift just to ensure that I would be awake and productive during this time. The dividends have been enormous. I can monitor the markets and still shepherd my clients until the morning. I drive home during the lull, and land at home in plenty of time to manage the open of the US session. Perfect, and planned.
My trading plan does not pin me to a terminal, it only requires that I check in at predetermined intervals to make predetermined evaluations and make predetermined decisions. I literally spend less than an hour per day actually trading.
