Time Frame in a Day (ZZ)

There are 3 periods that is best to trade in a day. One could plot his move based on the anticipated move of the market.

8:30-9:00, This is emotion trading. a lot of swings. if you have a good trade overnight, it will brighten your day. if you have a wrong trade, this is also the good time to close your position. just do not panic, wait for the first wave of selling/buying subbued and then make your move.

11:00-1:00. This is when momentum players coming. if you have a stock going high, very likely it will even higher. so, if you are a day trader, this is the time to close and your are done for the day.

2:30-3:00. This is when index funds/ETFs to coming to adjust their position to reflect the market and also a good indication for tomorrow. In a normal market condition, you can short/long a momentum stock and be ready to take advantage of the emotion next day.
