No pro here, but if my 2 cents means anything, it's that the beauty of FX is that because of the world wide market when you get home, a market somewhere in the world is open(Except Weekends duhh...) - meaning you can TRADE practically anytime of the day!!!!
My theory is depending on the timezone your day job is, if you get home and the Sydney market is open, it being a lot slower you could try and catch smaller pips - I am testing a system at the moment that catches small pips in slow, quiet periods - wouldn't suit high volatility market such as US.
If you get home and you're in the middle of the London market, it having a bit more volatility you could find or develop a system to suit that time of trading.
I believe although the market is there 5 days a week, 24 hours a day, you don't have to try and be there in all your spare time. Find a time frame that suits you and a trading system to match
