Who typically trades ES after hours?

Quote from volente_00:

I've traded ES since Jan 2006 and I actually prefer night trading instead of rth.

Just curious.......assuming you are in the USA, do you stay up most of the night and sleep in the daytime...or do you put in some stops and go to sleep. I am retired, and like the night trading also.....but can't get a schedule worked out. Stosh
 
sorry for the noob comments, but I'm assuming rth is regular trading hours?

Also, software may become a concern due to the slow pace of the movements...does anyone recommend I use something like button trader or is it just as easy to set up a trailing stop?

Night trading is appealing to me:p
 
I am now interested in night trading. I would like to keep an eye on various asian markets.

Can somebody please give opening and closing of asian markets in US time zone.

Thanks, much appreciated

Here's some links to help you do your homework. :) Trade volume will tell you when each group starts trading and calls it quits for the day. What has made you interested in nights v.s. days?

Quote from Surdo:

Matador:

The ES is really not a good contract to play at night with, if you must trade with real dough at night, try out one contract of the 6E or EC (EuroFx futures).

Keep an eye on news releases in EURUSD, and you will see plenty of volatility.

BTW: markets are all closed tonight for The Feast of Garotas!

Is 6e still there or has it now become M6E ?

E7 had half the value per tick. Can that be traded at night as well. ?

Thanks

Just depends on the price action. I am a night owl. Action heats up around 3 am est when europe opens. I enter trades when my signals are generated, once in the trade, the stop is automatically set. If in a trade, I will sometimes nap. I often turn my speakers on max and when strategy runner hits a limit or stop the voice wakes me up. Othertimes I stay up all night trading and sleep during the afternoons. My favorite trades are when you enter, scale out for some profit and move the stop to breakeven and wake up to find it has went huge in your favor or even hit you limit to exit while snoozing.
 
Whatever the general opinion of night traders, they sure have a lot of influence, especially coming into Monday.. Plus they gobble up a lot of points in a much less manic way than the regular session...
