Sorry me again.
Are there any good markets to practice techniques on at night, very early in the morning? So far I have only found british horse racing to be active enough to practice on and that is during the afternoon generally.
Thank you

Take a look at UK Greyhounds pre-off plenty of races day and night. Load them up and watch a few markets, they can be a bit wild at times but could be a good learning alternative when the horses are finished.

Night time is usually best reserved for sleep ;)

Australian horses and dogs. 2 or 3 times as many markets as the UK, reasonable money. Just make sure you understand the terms and conditions regarding 'turnover charge' and be mindful of the extra commission. Also the different starting procedure for pace and trot races in which they're basically on the move before the race is considered be in-running. They aren't exactly like UK markets but all markets are driven by the same basic pressures from dogs to football to ping pong so it's all fair game.

:lol: You think it's a marathon and almost without warning, one day there's an old bloke looking back at you from the mirror and realise you haven't got to the first water station yet. "Kick, push, kick, push, coast" ;)

NBA markets are reasonably liquid after midnight.

A Lupe Fiasco reference :o Goosebumps!!

Haha, but you gotta love that initial honeymoon period when all trading questions have easy answers. Fun times indeed.

The Market giveth...

...and the Market taketh away :mrgreen:

Thx for the link :D I'd forgotten how good that was. I'm not actually precious about being effective, otherwise I wouldn't be wasting my life like this.....

Initially it was a disappointing fail just a cold "I don't have the ability to interact with or control physical objects, including pod bay doors." but with a little training about what to do it kept me amused. :)

...back to the topic. I'll 2nd that. And from my take on it, steer clear of the 4th quarter unless you've got a friend in the crowd on the phone. Info feeds/video can be way behind the action.

I'd agree normally, but for various reasons the quietest time in my house to concentrate is often 4am to about 8am. Then everyone else gets up and chaos rules ;)

Understandable, I prefer my chaos to be in the market itself :)

Perhaps Aussie markets could fit that schedule, otherwise could use the quiet hours for analysis instead, or to find out where the last trading session went tits up, logic suggests these hours would generally be best used for deep work.

But in the early days there is probably more benefit in building market experience.
