No Time - Want to Trade - What are my options

I'd like to know what options one has for trading when they have very very little time.

I literally have enough time to when I get home, maybe an hour or two. Other then that I'm kind of busy doing other things that I can't put off.

Is there anyone else in my position that has found a way to fit trading in their lifestyles?

The only thing I've thought so far is weekly or monthly trend trading, which I don't know much about; so I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

Anyways, thanks for the advice on whatever system you know of.

Hi,

I too have little time and I use daily charts and I'm more than happy. I check for possible setups a couple of times a day, even once a day would be enough...

Don't worry about having little time to trade, I've found that spending little time on charts actually improves my trading, removes much of the adrenaline rush from lower timeframes and it puts me in a generally healthier state of mind to make trade decisions.

Good luck!

Later edit:
Oops sorry, it seems you are looking for a system to trade. Have a look at james16 chart thread, most of his example charts are on dailies.

Look up the fozzy daily method, I hear its pretty good.

I noticed the Daily Fozzy Method has it's own forum now so I suppose it has to be better then average. I'll definately check that out.

And I was thinking longer time frames might be a good solution as well. How long do you leave your trades open for soso_beton?

1 day to a couple of weeks.

yeah i had a feeling it would be a while, seems to be the only solution for people in my position though.

D1+ are good timefraims use, lesser noyse, more ackurat, yes.

or, use good EA, let EA watch excel traid ops ... work for you 24/5.5

try "Managed Account"

Study all you can about trend trading, support/resistance levels and price action, and apply it to Daily/Weekly charts. You wont need more than a couple of hours per day.

Forget trading anything lower than Daily charts regardless of the system if you cannot commit yourself full time.
