I'm keen to know what your sleep schedules are if you are trading the US stockmarket. I've been studying HTMM for a couple of months now, making my own watch lists and paper trading diary. I initially had shift work insomnia and I also do shift work so there were a couple of opportunities per week to watch and paper trade the US market live during a trading session. However, the healthier I get and the fewer night shifts I have, the fewer times I get to watch and paper trade each week. What is the solution here? What do you guys do for your sleep / wake cycle? Can you profit trading the ASX in the style of Tim Sykes ie. looking for pump n dumps, earnings winners, news catalysts?
Up early to the gym at 3:30am today, went to sleep at around 11pm. I own a couple businesses too. My dreams are more important that my sleep. Get 'em winner!
@bobomatic The way I see it is you need to be up at midnight (Brizzy time) for pre-market analysis, then between 12.30 and 1.30am is when you get your gap-ups/-downs and breakthroughs. Then a bounce might happen at 2am and you've gotta keep watching until you exit the trade which could be 3am. Am I interpreting these studies correctly? I'm paper trading with StockTracker, use Interactive Brokers for chart analysis but realistically, I already have an account with eTrade Australia and I will prob
@Stackout So are you asleep during pre-market trading and the first couple of hours of trading? What time to what time do you trade and/or study?
yeah, i set my alarm for 12, up for couple hrs depends on market. Then back up 5:30 for work and check on the market. I don't think etrade australia has penny stocks listed, only place i can find is suretrade.
