my problem is i do not get home from my office at the air base till between 5-6 german time which is 11-12 noon new york time...so i am leery of holding a trade overnight that i can't tend till 11am new york time the next day. so for now i am just trying to make a few bucks daytrading the latter part of the trading day...a pleasant, relaxing way to spend my evening. thanks for the feedback on my trades. mud
