Everything on this site that is not a chart. The night session is a technical problem for about twenty minutes a night and a psychological one for the rest of it: what you believe about trading, what your hands do before your head votes, the parts of the chart you have stopped seeing, and the journal that catches all three. I did not learn any of this from a book about mindset. I learned it from a column of ticks and crosses, and from the crosses in particular.
The usual warning: one trader’s working method, not advice, and the risk disclaimer applies to every word.

Trade the session your life actually allows.
The night session is a complete market. Learn how it moves, watch me trade it live, read the write-up the next morning, and if you want people who trade the same hours, there is a room for that.
