How do you feel when the market is closed - such as on weekends ?

[murray t turtle]

It's great to have weekends off, otherwise it would feel exhausting and endless, like grinding hold'em cash games in Vegas.

LOL;
a hamster gets going pretty good/ around + around on its wheel endless/.LOL

I welcome the weekend,definitely refreshing.
Am very careful with Monday AM to make sure I have analyzed the mkt sufficiently.
Because of being rusty from the weekend Monday AM's used to be my worst trading of the week.
Now I make sure Sunday night I have a plan in place.

Interesting... Historically speaking, Monday morning session was my worst performing window as well over the last 24 years....
I’m strictly in observation mode on Mondays morning session... I see the market as a dance with PA/ Price action... every Monday we start a new dance and establish a new rythem ... In order to be in stride with the market , I need to
Be in sync with the action and what it’s saying, so It’s strictly observation mode at that time frame for me...
Weekends are for recharging your batteries and reassessing the past weeks performance and establishing new pivot points, etc. Sunday night for futures traders is a suckers bet unless u have a serious edge coming of prior week... the real Futures players don’t show up until Monday’s PM session ... as there is not a rythem established yet...

Its 2020, as I have been saying for over a decade now markets need to be open many many more hours than just 6.5..... First get rid of extended hour trading and make markets more liquid. The extended hours trading is nothing but fakeness with spreads being so wide i can drive an 18 wheeler through them.... So completely remove extended hours and keep markets open from 5am to 8pm 5 days a week. Everything has gone completely electronic in the last 20 years, so no excuses. Enough of this partial trading day garbage, it's not 1972 its 2020. Money never fucking sleeps so why should Wallstreet and their nonsense 6.5 trading schedule!!!

5 am?? I may get up earlier to duck hunt/deer hunt, but wall street likes bankers hours.
Premarket is a hint/simply something for fake news to yap about.
Back to the future/back to the charts...……………………………………………………. Extended session could be called fake prices more or less unless you see huge size on spy/qqq .

True, 21 years experience here and as I tell my traders, Monday sucks.. unless it's a rare selloff red Monday

I do minimal trades on Mondays, though tomorrow may be tradable if we get a selloff

Dow might/LOL;
if enough traders/investors do that +buy SDOW=same thing. ONE new ellte trader asked ''why does the market ALWAYS reverse when I buy??'' An elite trader noted ''stop trading so big'' Funny /true

Exhausted because I work at night on top of trading full time

These type of gaps didn't happen decades ago. Today however its nothing but gaps. I bet later when futures open you will see a 1-1.5% gap, and by tomorrow moning a possible 2%++++

Other way.

Gapped down but only -1% or so. So far.

Oh I didn't predict a direction I just knew futures would be moving at least 1-2% with the vix above 30.

Because I'm a newbie retired home trader I find weekends to be a disruption to my trading week. I wished it would go 24/7, 365 days! Most supermarkets are open 24/7 and there are plenty of businesses open 24/7... It's a luxury for the all mighty stock market to have such limited hours.
