DislikedCali's a great place to live and the worst TZ for trading FX on the planet (the best is Australia). IIgnored
DislikedJust wondering why you think Australia would be best. Ive never really though much about it. I lived in Hawaii for several years and that was a great place to trade forex from (stocks sucked, had to wake at 4am). Like I previously stated I trade mostly the London session and that starts at 8pm in Honolulu. I would trade for a few hours and then go to the bar with friends around midnight (our bars were open til 4am, then ya had the afterhours). Perfect place if you can afford to live there.
Are you in LA?Ignored
DislikedI don't live out there but I have traded from that time zone before. It can be difficult if you don't stay up too late. I was trading the London start mostly from 11pm to 2am. If you woke up early you might could also catch the US open. But lately that session has been crap too. Id stick with the euro session personally.
Where are you located? I am contemplating a move to the LA area. That or back to Hawaii... such tough decisions for a forex trader lol.
Oh and just curious why you guys dont use 5pm Eastern time for the close since that is when...Ignored
DislikedFXSurfer I live 3.5 hours away from Seattle. I visit friends in there some time. So do you trade full London session?Ignored
DislikedI'm in the Bay Area, about 30 miles East of San Francisco, I like it here, been here my whole life. Hawaii, now your talkin, sleep on the beach during the day and trade at night!
I have found that around 8:00 a.m PST I am able to get some great reversal trades in on the EURO, usually two or three a week.Ignored
DislikedHey jcpfx I think we must be neighbors. I'm about 30 miles east of the city too. San Ramon to be exact. Where are you?
I stay up 'till about 2 or 3 am to trade london, it makes trading NY nearly impossible...
