Yes this is true that when we are living in a place where the time zone is a bit different then we have to learn and adapt to the new environment very soon

I live in New jersey, NY time EST, after so many years trying so many strategies I find that the best time to trade is london open, I'm a waiter in NY (chelsea) and I have son and a wife, that mean you need time for them too. I get out at 12 am est and I get home about 1am, take a shower, prepare a coffee and turn on my laptop , I check FF news for the day, some ports, I place a trade and go back bed, next day up at 7 am for son schooll.

Evening g-bear,

If you have a strategy or setup that you can articulate and clearly define then program the setup or strategy into metatrader. Have it send you a notification or an alarm on your computer to wake you up to take a look at the setup. If the setup meets all your criteria and the filters you use to enter the trade, enter the trade and go back to sleep. Also, program it to either take a predetermined profit or a set of conditions that indicate your trade may be coming to an end and set another alarm or notification. This way if you've entered the trade and gone back to sleep, your computer will wake you up to take profit.

This will allow you to keep (for the most part) normal sleeping hours. Hope this helps.
