That is not what was said. This was based on the limited hours the previous trader listed and wanting to trade in the morning and trying to figure out how to do so where the trades would be done before he left for work.
The easiest time to trade trends is between 3 am and 11 am ET as this is when the majority of orders are in the market from Europe and the US. Orders drive the market.
The other option was the afternoon session you need volume for trends. But we teach reversal trades, and momentum scalps and more so you can trade anytime early am am afternoon asian session eu whatever. We have multiple systems for any time frame just using a couple charts.
We have traders that do it everyday though. I have traders that trade exclusively in the evening due to their schedule. ie one owns a business and he just does not have time to trade during the day… He understands that it is a more difficult time of day to trade any trend trade system as the trends are smaller. They are there they are just slow and usually smaller so he focuses on either EPC or Trend Trading PC so slow and small works in his favor.
The evening session (post 6 pm ET) you do get volatility on AUD pairs, JPY pairs, Nikkei to a certain extent. The more news the more they will move.
You can elite trade these as well. Many like to scalp at this time.
Even more now with all the Nadex fx night time binaries.
You do have evening news trades on nadex (trend, straddle, butterflies)
Other markets may move if there is a news event to drive them but this will be mostly news driven so it will not be consistent day in day out for volatility like the morning session is.
I personally used to get up in the early AM and trade before work as it was easier until i was able to quit my job. All depends on how fast you want to get there. But just because you can’t trade in the early AM does not mean you can not trade. You just want to be realistic, choose the right strategy for the time of day, and have a developed system for that time like the ones listed above.
