How does, time of day and chop indicators integrating into your trading? How can you tell when a market is in chop or ready to move. I have found most indicators do not help, at least in the short day trading environment. The problem is markets are very often calm before a big move. It is a random event on the exact timing. However there is one thing that is sure. People’s habits. People that can move the market tend to eat and sleep. Imagine that? So the markets move when they are not. In the graphic I have posted the best time to trade volatility during the day. Sorry but shown in my local time; European Standard Time. In addition smart traders like long weekends and the markets are a bit calmer Monday early and Friday late. This should be a consideration before you click the buy or sell button..
