I'm just wondering what people are doing to allow themselves the ability to day trade even with a full time job.
My daily routine is as follows:
wake at 0400 and sift through my scanners and filters and create a watch list.
leave for work at 0620 and return around 0730
go back to work from 0900 until about 1130 and take an hour and a half break for lunch
get off work around 1800-1900 and spend a few hours watching the market.
I'm currently living in germany, so the market's hours are 1530 - 2200.
I use as much of time sifting through my filter results or looking for new information and thought i would ask the masses. When I actually have a day off, I'm able to sit in front of my computer open to clsoe, which was successful each day i was able to do it, but i'm not able to often enough. I catch the market around noon or so and look for % gainers on the day that show promise of respiking towards close. I'm not able to trade at work either, which is unfortunate.
I'm not close to be an expert but what I've learned tells me that most pennystockers trade the first 2 hours. some say the last hour is also good. try to learn a swing strategy instead or use Thinkorswim smarthphone app that sounds the alerts on your phone, so you don't have to be all the time in front of a computer screen. Also use a scanner - alert software to increase your chances of finding good plays.
