You got me! It won't be the last time either. I get very tired and lose focus (I hope it's not from my boxing career) at times, mostly because I do trade all night (2-3 times a week) and lose sleep...kind of ironic since we're talking about after hours. So...you never peak at the s&p futures anymore...not even a little?

You know that was on purpose...don't you?

P.S. I give up...better yet, it's time to SLEEP for a week!

I try not to watch the market any time of the day or night. Instead I do all my market work when the markets are closed and put my bracket orders in, During the week its just a matter of adjusting stops. The less involvement with a live market the better I do. Most of what I do feels more like an accountant/admin - just crunching numbers and updating records. That is why I like swing trading - I do things on my schedule & terms, my moods are not linked to the intra-day action.
