Default When to trade

As you know that one can trade in Forex through out the day, it is presumed by most of us that we can earn profits at any time of the day, which is in practice is not really true. Trading when the market is static will not yield any returns on your investment. It is always better to look for the periods when the market is really hot and moving. Investing during these periods can result in high returns.

Its a very common; some believe the only way to trade in the Forex market is by day trading, which generally does require a lot of time commitment.

While, day trading is widespread in the Forex markets, I believe that a trader can do quite well or better with far less time commitment by trading the forex markets on an end-of-the-day basis. In order to do that, you must have effective trading methods specifically designed for end-of-the-day trading.

It has often been said that if you cannot make money trading on an end-of-the-day basis, you will never make money by day trading. And I believe that applies to the Forex markets as well. This is because the time pressure to make instant decisions on order entry, immediate placement of stop orders and setting profit targets is very stressful and demanding of your time.

While some traders prefer day trading and are able to handle its rigors and have the time to allocate to it, others prefer end-of-the-day trading that can be done in as little as 20 minutes a day while the markets are quiet.

With a good end-of-the-day trading method, it could take less than 20 minutes a day to enter, place stops, manage and exit the trade with very nice profits.
