Duration of your time trading

I'd like to know the average time you intraday guys spend trading and monitoring the markets.

As a certified moron i am trading most of the Asian then the a good part of the London session. I make the core of my pips in the asian then like a big clown i lose it in the London.

I am addressing this problem. Part of it is fatigue, part of it is greed and the last part size. Thus i am going to limit my size to something miniscule or just demo. I will make watching the London optional as well if i feel fatigued, lazy or just want to watch the dogs get it on.

I'd like to know what markets you trade and the time in front of your system for you intraday traders. Naps...break lengths, etc. tips

Please note if you're profitable month after month. I'd hate to be taking a guy with -12months seriouslly.

I started making progress when I structured my time a bit more, I live in NZ so it's kind of critical that I do this anyway. I watch EUR futures for the first hour to hour and a half around the London open, then I watch EUR futures and ER2 during the last hour to hour and a half before the New York close. If I get in a couple of good trades I walk away, there is nothing worse than giving it back.

There are 2, 2 hour windows I trade during the day. In those 2 hour windows sometimes I make my money within minutes and I'm done and sometimes I have to wait the full 2 hours for the right trade(s). If I'm bored there is a 3rd session, a 1 hour window I trade during the day and same results, sometimes my trades are done in minutes sometimes the full hour just depends. For intraday traders, scalpers, day traders etc. it's all about knowing your pair and when it moves Just my .02

I am using automation in my self trading (MT4 EA's) and I find monitoring the charts much easier than to watch them for the purposes of pulling the trigger. You cannot leave the charts unattended even with automation.

But...

I have an internal alarm that wakes me each 4Hrs when sleeping just to glance at the MT4 terminals (3 desktops, five 19" LCD's) to see whats going on with my eight live accounts and one demo. I can quickly see trade executions as I set the gray bar in the MT4 terminal at the bottom of the chart to be '"one-line wide" so if there is an execution it scroles off the field-of-view and I know something happened.
