Trading only in the mornings now

I suggest doing an analysis of all your trades for some length of time such as a year.

I found that only 2% of my total profits were made between 13:00 to 14:00 so I use that time to have lunch, shower, attempt to pleasure the gf, etc.
 
Nice thread. For more than a year I used to trade only the premarket and the first hour. I usually avoid post market because psychologically not comfortable with loosing at the end of day. For L2 traders I guess the morning is easy. Almost all L2 scalpers I know focus mostly on the morning for high volumes and quick moves.
Since September last year I've ventured to look for trades all day long as a effort to diversify my skills. Still almost 2/3 of my profits come before 10:30 only.

Quote from qwiktrade:
i think there are 2 reasons that trading in the mornings only works better for some traders, myself included.. first, the morning has better volume and moves tend to have more follow through.. the second reason has to do with the mental state that is created by a series of wins.. when a trader is winning it can create a euphoric state of mind where the possibility of loss is blocked.. so a trader wakes up in the morning.. makes a few winning trades and then has this "cant lose" feeling going into the time of day when there are fewer and generally lower r/r opportunities.. this state of mind tempts him to take trades that he shouldn't take resulting in a loss of profits or more for the day..
