Gator and Boulder, it seems like you guys sleep for about 4 to 5 hours, wake up around the London open, stay up for a few hours, then go back to sleep for about another hour or two. Is this correct? I am thinking about trying this to time the markets better.

LOL. But is what I described your normal sleeping pattern? I am trying to figure out if I can realistically make money in FX and part of the problem is sleeping patterns and trying to balance a full time job as a bridge until I can quit it.

I get up if news is coming..I set the clock.. Or out of habit sometimes.. I sleep when I can... level alarms wake me too.. I set near levels I think are important. No need to watch the entire time..

I just woke up by price alerts... Gator likes to make fun of me....I don't know I snore or not.....Gator definitely can't hear me 1,300 miles away...
Anyway.. I am very fortunate that I can make arrangement with corp to work from home .. every day I go to bed around 9pm... deep sleep 4 to 5 hours in bedroom...get up 1am or 2am , trade London open for a couple of hours.. then light sleep another couple of hours from 4am to 6am in trading room with live Ransqawk on ,,so I don't miss any important event.............

The sacrifice of sleep worth in pip wise... my portfolio this year so far ... more to come...

i'm on the receiving end.. a lot of retailers are going to start to notice the cost of being eu long. They are used to getting a few nickels taken . This may be more noticable

I cannot help but think that this 1.10 will give in and give in pretty hard. Add the fact of really good US data plus the reality of triple swaps today, I don't know what we are waiting for to sink our fangs in the flesh of bulls and draw deep arterial blood with lots of oxygen.

Maybe Powell?
