Quote from increasenow:

if you personally where going to trade basically the first 10-15 minutes of RTH open 9:30-9:45am...what would it be for you?

Other job or not, if you can only devote 10-15 mins to the screen for live trading this isnt going to work. You are just going to be guessing and forcing trades.

I, personally, dont trade the first 10mins of RTH.
 
+1

Inow, you should be working on swing trading strat, daytrading really should be left to those who have the time to commit to the task.

had to roar back and make up for the losses!!!!!!...this is not hopefully normal

Oh yes it will be - you just taught yourself that you can make up your losses.

Instead you should have taught yourself to take each trade based on its own merits and not so I can make up for losses - and this will bite you hard sometime.
