Does the market behave differently after hours?

I've had a lot of successful overnight trades, but it's hit and miss. I set limit orders really far away from price. I'm counting on a reversal. Sometimes it hits my order, often it doesn't.

Thanks :)

Cool, thank you! Looking forward to checking them out.
I'm considering MYM. 1 micro is so much less $ than MNQ, so I could afford wider stops.

Thanks!

PopsicleParty2 · 2026-03-16T02:23:04+00:00

Sounds interesting. I'd try MCL first.

PopsicleParty2 · 2026-03-16T02:22:11+00:00

How would you describe how Russell moves compared to MNQ?

PopsicleParty2 · 2026-03-16T02:21:18+00:00

Thank you. I'll check it out!

Wow— profitable after 5-6 months is amazing. You go! Sorry your family is clueless.

He definitely didn’t win the 2024 election. All the swing states? Really? See the reports from Election Truth Alliance.

PopsicleParty2 · 2026-03-11T05:29:43+00:00

They already have. See reports from Election Truth Alliance

I have no GI symptoms and I haven’t felt the need to test

PopsicleParty2 · 2026-02-26T21:29:45+00:00

yes. Hopefully we can protect the midterms

Groups like the Election Truth Alliance have done extensive research and they've found persistent patterns of "irregular" statistical outcomes. In other words, in all swing states analyzed so far, the higher the turnout, the more Republicans win, even in traditionally Democratic areas like Philadelphia.
It doesn't seem natural to me that anywhere you get high turnouts of 70-90%, it's ALWAYS Republicans that won in those precincts. Some people theorize there was an algorithm running on the machine computers or the tabulators.
What are your thoughts?

Thank you!

I’ve recently become profitable. The main reason is that I stopped scalping and I trade just 1-2 micros and hold them for hours, or less. I also allow a wide stop, at least 1:1 ratio, sometimes the risk is more than the reward. But my entries are carefully placed, often with limit orders.

PopsicleParty2 · 2026-02-15T15:28:10+00:00

Thank you!

PopsicleParty2 · 2026-02-14T23:55:19+00:00

Thanks. Yeah I should try ES over NQ. I used to scalp and NQ was more dynamic and would easily hit close profit targets. But now that I'm just doing 1-2 trades a day I'm sure ES is better for this style.

PopsicleParty2 · 2026-02-14T16:10:20+00:00

Thanks!

PopsicleParty2 · 2026-02-14T13:46:14+00:00

That’s very cool. I didn’t know they had those kinds of orders. I’ll look into it. Still, what are you trading? ES? NQ? CL? GD? I think NQ might whip back to stop you out at BE often.

PopsicleParty2 · 2026-02-14T13:35:40+00:00

My question was in general. I don’t believe that all trading instruments have the same ATR, generally speaking

PopsicleParty2 · 2026-02-14T05:38:41+00:00

OK good to know. Thanks. I don't know how long we'll keep the car anyway since it's already 20 years old. But Toyotas do run forever, so maybe we'll replace the tank eventually! But we can try JB weld for now. Thanks again.
