A 24/7 market can destroy a trader who doesn't impose structure on themselves. There is a tendency to think you are losing money when you're asleep. But trying to catch every move is how you exhaust yourself and erode edge. For me it is VITAL that I have "office hours" for active trading, and rules in place for how to engage moves that happen during "off hours", both for mental health and to allow myself a structured personal life. It doesn't mean I miss all trades that happen outside my working window, but that my level of engagement is lower and controlled - i.e. limit orders and walking away during off hours instead of market orders and watching the chart during working hours. If I get stopped out while I'm asleep, fine, cost of business. If I miss getting filled on a bid by $10, fine, cost of business. I must protect my mental capital. Besides, NY session is where the most action and volume takes place. Asia and London often have lower liquidity and can be "fake" moves relative to what happens in cash session. I want to give myself the best odds to succeed and a repeatable timeframe to do business in each day. So I "work" each morning for a few hours. If nothing shapes up within my allotted time, I set alerts and walk away. I give myself 10 minutes max to spend looking at the chart the rest of the day barring an anomalous event that requires special attendance. I am not *missing* any moves. I am *filtering* them. This is how I will have longevity in this game.(𝐓𝐗𝐌𝐂)
