Help needed - I overtrade after 11am

Setups that often work before 11 often don't work after 11 bc lunch choppy markets and lower volatility

Here's a notion. The market is often goosey/hopeful/opinionated around the opening because of overnight info and economic numbers early in the morning. It's also often that way in the late day in anticipation of overnight response from Asia/Europe. Beyond those times (mid-day) there is not so much conviction/hope/anticipation... just slopping around waiting for something to provide "guidance"... real or imagined. (If you want to dash out away from the market to get a hair cut during the day, that's the time to do it.) Nevertheless... the charts tell what players are doing with their money... that's what you need to get a handle on.
 
If only she spoke English well, lol. Actually that's a plus, we hardly ever talk. Fantastic.. a quiet woman. It's like living in the 50s

When I was in the military, I knew an American SSgt who had been my superior at another base. (We both got reassigned to Kadena AFB on Okinawa.. though in different offices.) He was generally viewed among us guys as a real a-hole. But he had the sweetest Japanese wife. I actually felt a bit sorry for her. She deserved better.

The most impressive young woman I ever knew is Chinese... knew her when I was stationed in Taiwan.... but her mother didn't think I was good enough for her. So, I married a Greek... and that ain't bad either... though she speaks English all too well! :)

Good man. I noticed you are into practical skills, like playing sax. Those skills like playing an instrument, cooking and also sport, meditation... are great to live the moment (mindfulness) and unplug for a bit.

I haven't cooked nor cleaned in the 20 years we've been married.... very traditional life, she's from Kobe. Love it. And almost no arguments..

THAT seems to help most in trading;
cutting back, if not going profitable as usual. SOXS is going down like a fox in soxs on ice.I've l lost more on average in FEB + SEPT, since i favor longs. I do more inverse now + more cash ETFs,in that period. which helps.
