What to do the rest of the day?

[SimpleMeLike]

I normally operate the first two hours after opening.
Then the market becomes slower, chaotic, without volume.
I would like to trade more but normally if I do I lose part of the earnings in the first two hours, so I stop trading until the next day.
Have you found something to trade that is profitable after the first two hours?
Any ideas?

I would record my trades in the journal and spreadsheet.

Then I would sim trade. I would just try to get better trading on another market.

The more trade examples I see, the better I get.

Hi,

I follow 28 currency pairs (Forex) and at least 10 to 15 commodities (including the equity indices) on the 15-min charts.

It seems like a lot but after a while it becomes routine.

yes, and you are getting alot of trading experience too and data collection to calculate expectancy.

Learn to bowl?

not chaotic the first two hours?

Learn to automate it, then it can be trading more of it when you are sleeping. Screw manual trading, learn about spreading or options. Your physical day time should be designing other areas of trading.

Then I would sim trade.

Are you sim trading or are you trading live money?

You can do similar to what I am doing ;

Trade the first 2 to 3 hours of the Asian session.

Trade the mid and end of the Asian session /
Trade the first 2 to 4 hours of the Eur session.

Trade the end of Eur session /
Trade the first 2 hours of the US session.



This way, you cover most of the actions around the whole world
yet maintaining our mind concentration in good condition.

I use to trade the last three hours for a trial period during my mountain bike racing and surfing days. AMEX and NYSE stocks were great to play the close with leaving me the morning to play hard. Only in 2020 with stocks going nuts during the dull drums it’s so hard walk away. You a bigger man than me because I threw away $18k today trying to force stocks. Made it back in AH buying a shit stock 50,000 at $2.25 selling from up to $2.60.
