This question is really for experienced traders who trade actively. I have been doing this for about 8 months and have been live trading for about 5. I enjoy the fast paced market and have had some success (although I want more!) My question is this, how do professional Forex traders manage their days.
I understand that the first 3 hours of each market opening (US, Asian, Euro) are the best times to trade. But starting either at 6am, 4pm, or 12am pst is tough to schedule your day. I would like this to progress into a full time occupation (or infatuation as it has become!), but it seems hard to feel like I am actually working when the hours are so spread out. I trade the European session at night until 2am, then wake up at 6 to trade the US market, with a major nap mixed in between.
I would like to know how full time and professional traders schedule their day.
Thanks,
Jeremy
