LOL Dirt,
Well more people agree w/ you cuz volume is always A LOT higher on the open, than when I'm looking to trade.
I know an old timer who insists on getting up to trade London hours even though he lives in the U.S. and I could never figure it out cuz I just don't see the consistency for the effort. But he sure loves to talk about how he gets up at 2:30 AM. I believe his wife hit the nail on the head when she said: "He just needs to punish himself".
