So you just get up two hours earlier to trade? You trade the Chicago market?

Yes. The price action on the 6E seems a little more orderly earlier on, in my opinion. Sometimes I think about switching to the time around to trading around the London Open time, which is 2 am Central Time/ Midnight Pacific Time.

I see no point in losing sleep to surf the news and drink coffee hours before you're trading.

1) Microdose Cubensis
2) Coffee, theanine, citicoline, CoQ10 at waking
3) Make sure your stuff is a "go" 15 minutes beforehand

I get that FF email as well and page through to read the red news and put it in my calendar. I do it once on Sunday. Takes less than five minutes.

Somewhere in there you should develop and edge. This Willink 430am sht is to sell books/podcasts views. Fine, get up early to lift/cardio, but you know you're surfing ET instead of actively pursuing your goals (unless surfing ET is the goal).

Nobody makes money trading FX, upstairs. The only vol is associated with macro. Dot shots in the first 30 seconds and they you're babysitting a position making three pips an hour.
