During the week I will check how my pairs are doing in the morning for approximately half an hour around 7 am (see how much I've made or lost, quickly check if the trend will continue, etc. When I come home from work, I'm checking periodically from 5 pm until around 10 pm.

I do very few trades though, typically between 6 to 10 per week.
I more or less would like to stick with technical analysis too. Just about everything I've read says both is needed, but once I started reading through some older threads here, I see there are some traders who use technical only, and it seems to be working out just fine for them. I am reading all I can find on charting. Thanks for answering.
