Review the moves of the market when it was open.

I used to do historical analysis and load new indicators and modify them for signal accuracy. Now, I watch movies, shop, do things, lol. After you study long enough and develop an edge, there is nothing trading-related to do when the markets are closed, except attempt to keep my sleep pattern in tact, lol. Maybe once a month I might have a new idea and check it out, but it only takes a few minutes now, and usually is not an improvement. If you need to put in the time, then do it, because one day you might figure it all out and it will all be worth it. Good Luck.

Yes, that's a great answer, mine was a bit flippant. I trade a mechanical method and you're right on the edge bit, new ideas are seldom an improvement!

Trade crypto. It's open 24/7/365. Not sure if that's a blessing or a curse for a trader lol.

Yes. If you can profit, and are happy with the results, and each time you look at your charts, your system makes complete sense, then you are finished. Just use it when the market is open. You graduated from designer to trader. If your goal is to be a trader, there is nothing left to design. However, if you are a designer and prefer to experiment with theories and hypothesis, then of course, you would not stop designing so you can trade and make money. I don't know your goals. Good Luck.

I love what I do so I don't slow down too much when the markets are closed. I'll do a research project, read a book, read some top quality blogs, create plans for the future, etc. I couldn't be more of a finance nerd so this is a lot of fun for me even if money weren't part of the equation.
