NQ is a poor poor substitute for DAX, I'm around for NQ time anyway but won't trade it, my Spread cost is 2x's for less range, useless.

I use an alarm clock on the night stand next to my bed when I need to be awaken to trade. Yet, the kids usually beats the alarm clock by about 5 - 15mins.
The lazy aspect is to look for someone outside of your own home to wake you up.
Everything else you mentioned to be alerted about can be put into your phone calendar.
Good book, hobby, exercise routine, spouse (preferrably good looking) will keep the boredom away.
Seriously, do you have physical disabilities, heavily medicated or something ???

I'll wake up, then lie in bed for 2hours watching last nights USA TV, getting up earlier but had someone to trade with and who is kinda counting on me, then that might help.
Defo face value, invitation for a newbie who isn't going to try to preach candle stick patterns or anything, to get profitable potentially if they can handle my method very quickly.
Trading is a boring solo game, better with someone else around, but only if your working together, 20years sat here, double clicking the mouse occasionally on my own, is kinda a scarey thought!!
I begin my trading career in an office in Seattle with five other traders...we rented an office space (warehouse apartment).
Now +15 years later, in another country and trading from a home office...I'll be returning back to trading with other traders in an office space...not for method sharing...not due to boredom...
Will do it just for a change of pace as in different atmosphere although one guy stated he'll be doing it just to get away from home (from nagging wife) to be in a more professional like environment.
A co-working workspace is another option to explore too.

Well, I live out on the West Coast of North America... so equity markets open at 6:30 am. Typically my day starts with me being wide awake at 5:00 am. No alarm clock. I function quite well, on almost exactly 6 hours of sleep.
The difference for me has been nutrition. For the last 18 months I have been very focused on putting the optimal nutrition in my body (but still have a life!). This really really helps with the sleep. And I feel amazing most of the time.
As for the trading buddy idea, I think its a good idea... will be interesting to hear if anyone steps up.
Oddly got chatting to lad I just bought my new phone off He was looking into testing as a second income, might have a local solution.
Tried girlie next door, won't listen thinks she knows best already lol
Your like you and I'm like ME learn the difference dude!!
i am 4 1/2 hours ahead of you in Hyderabad India, and i do understand what you are trying to say.
I have traded since 1994 without meeting another person interested in trading or trading, which i would have thought pretty unlikely probability wise.
it is nice to talk discuss and teach: that really helps cement your ideas due to questions, or just plain derision, as often happens here in ET.
i am open to discussion ,though i am not by any stretch of imagination, a ' successful ' trader .
I have also opened a thread for connecting through telegram.
i am not sure what you have in mind but please contact me
4:30am here going back to sleep but will do when i wake
