I work 1am to noon EDT Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday so I am able to trade the afternoons. I am off Teusday, Wednesday, and Thursday so I can trade all day then. I am lucky because I always seem to have plenty of energy to trade and back test even after working 10.5 hours. I sleep from 6pm to midnight so I am able to get a decent amount of sleep even on days that I work. The setup is perfect for me to trade and back test and I even have health insurance which is important to me. Trading is my main career endeavor and I couldn't be in a better situation to make it happen. I care about my full time job just to use it to allow me to pay my bills and trade. Been trading since 2010 off and on and I have had day jobs where I worked during market hours. I was never enthusiastic about having a proper 9-5 job and like I said am pretty happy I fell into this situation where I have a night job.
