What to tell people I do instead of saying Day trading?

What time of day does one generally find you following the markets and ready to place a trade if the proper conditions emerge?

If you are looking for a good day trade, you never know when they will happen but I think the first two hours of the trading day and the last two hours are the best for finding opportunities like these opportunities in TSLA Friday afternoon into the close. ET likes to see proof so here are my TSLA purchases. Sorry, couldn't resist the opportunity to brag to you a bit Easymon as we have several communications back and forth. This is the exception not the rule in my trading.

Congrats!
 
Working on some software projects for myself. Mentioning that I'm semi-retired gets even more questions, doesn't work.

Would you say you enter more trades in the AM or the PM judging by your records?
 
are you on east coast time? Daily charts? Long only?

1. Central Time
2. I use TOS Grid of Daily, 98 Min, 60 Min, 30 Min, 15 Min and 10 Min
3. Both Calls and Puts, I still have Sierra Charts and AMP but have gravitated away from futures to stock options plus SPY and QQQ.
4. Day Trade Only now as I got tired of getting hurt with gap openings against my position

As you know Easymon, I have tried several different things over the last few years but this is where I have landed.

Thanks for the update man.
That's a lot of timeframes.
How's golf and grandkids doing?
 
I concentrate on the 30, 15, and 10 for trading but I like to have the bigger time frames available with a click.

Golf is horrible, I love the beautiful courses and trash talking friends, but I play poorly.

Grandkids are wonderful. I heard someone say awhile back the reason Grandparents and Grandkids get along so well is that they have a common enemy. :D
