Trading with limited time available

Beginner Questions
1

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on forex trading with only a limited amount of time available each day. My day job does not allow me to trade or even watch the charts, so I am only available to watch and trade for a limited amount of time. I can devote 3-5 hours per day to trading, but the time frame is sometimes varied as my job demands a flexible schedule.

I can alter my schedule a little in two directions: stay up really late and barely catch the London open but sleep through the North American open, or what I usually do: wake very early and start trading a few hours before the North American open up to three hours after it opens. I can also manage a few hours in the Australian/Tokyo sessions.

Anyone care to share their personal experiences with this problem and solutions that may be helpful?

Thank you in advance.

hi, for first of all if you decided to be a swing trader than its will be bettter for you to trade at the time with the most movement in the marker,that means when london and us are open at the same time or tokyo and london.on the other side if you dont have the time to watch at the charts every 15min why dont do use a couple of hours to study the market to make a trade which you keep for a couple of week or maybe months,for example if you went long in the eur/usd in the january you could make over 1200 pips already.
