All the time. But are we not men?
If you can concentrate on the market 80-85% of the time between 10:00 and 15:30...
With 99% concentration for open 9:30 to 10:00... and close 15:30 to 16:00...
And keep that up day in/day out for 253 trading days/year...
Then you are very disciplined.

You won't find a single one during first and last 30 minutes of NYSE trading.

Happens almost daily. I do my trades fully focused then the market gets dull in the middle or end of the day. I come here to post and while I"m gone a great setup presents itself. I see that it presented itself after the fact and wonder what I was doing here. 
But it's cool. Something to do to kill the boredom of a slow market like the one in the afternoon yesterday which was much, much more tedious than the often mentioned watching paint dry.
