Best Pair To Trade for the Working Dude....

I know that this was touched upon briefly in another section, but out of curiosity, for those out there that work full time, what are the best pairs to trade between 7pm - 2am?

I'd love to go to sleep the second I get home, just so I can wake up at 3am to trade, but dude, I don't see that happening.

Thanks for your help!

That little button in the bottom right corner next to the quote button allows you to edit your post, like for content or spelling or whatever...

thanks Scott

Edit:

I like GBPUSD... I don't know if I have said that before... Scott
Just trade larger time frames like daily and weekly and possibly 4hour...

Hun:

Yup, look at the longer timeframes..."But, with longer timeframes don't I need to use a larger stop?"...Yup. But, that's one of the advantages of the FX. If you have a smaller account and want (or can only) trade the longer timeframes, just use a lower lot size (leverage) on the longer timeframe. So, instead of a 50 pip stop loss = $500, trade your leverage accordingly so that 50 pip stop loss = $100 on that same timeframe.

On to battle!!!

Yup, longer time frame would work, move your stop to be asap, or simply stay out when you can't monitor your trades..

I trade the GBP/USD between 12:30am mst and 2:00am exclusively and almost always get some large moves. Focus on 1 pair and limit your indicators and you'll soon be quiting your day job!

That's actually an interesting idea, and I haven't thought of that. Usually I would put the same amount on regardless of the time frame, but factor in some greed and stubborness and the Hun was owned by the market a month ago....I'm itching to get back in and will go live again by week's end. It's like that line from Rounders "You don't hear much about guys who take their shot and miss, but I'll tell you what happens to 'em. They end up humping crappy jobs on graveyard shifts, trying to figure out how they came up short."

That is exactly what I've been doing and it all comes down to two words: Money Management. It's not about the system. I've tried them all, MA based systems, chart patterns, all of them and really I"m just trying to find a better way to manage the money and not run like a little girl when a small profit comes in my hand, or be stubborn and keep convincing myself it'll turn around, it'll turn around when the losses hit.

Wow, WAYYY OFF TOPIC from what pair to trade, but I had to get that out...and yes, it actually did make me feel better....

Getting back on topic, I read that USD/CHF has nice juicy swings to work with, but again, are they coming in at 3 and 4 in the morning. Also..one more, one more...what about EUR/JPY since that sounds like a good 7pm to 1am kinda trade.....

ahhhhh, got that all out...I appreciate the help guys!
