If you want to trade but can not be concerned that they are not able to sit at your computer all day, ready to enter and exit trades at one point to another? Well, I’ll tell you that you can successfully trade shares or options, even if only putting the offices in which markets are closed (ie, at night before going to bed or in the morning before work .)

When I started designing my own trading systems, I was in college and I knew it would not have time to sit and watch my trades during the day. I needed a way to make money trading while at the same time maintaining the peace of my mind. I did not want to worry about what my operations were doing while I could not see them.

In fact, there are some advantages of a trade after closing if it is by design. If you know your time just for opening or closing positions is at the beginning of the day, it is easier to design a completely mechanical system based on opening prices. There are times when the opening price would actually experienced a price not fill, but usually the difference is slight (especially for assets with higher volume) and this is even more accurate for the construction of a mechanical system then trying to exit or enter at any time during the middle of the trading day.

The next question to decide is a problem common to all operators, but important, especially if you are going to place orders when markets are closed: You want to use market orders or limit? We like market orders most of the time, but many traders are scared of them and many experts will tell you not to use market orders, and that supposedly gives market makers or brokers an excuse to “steal “a few cents for you in each trade. However, if this is true then it is also true that when using a limit order that they are saying exactly how much you can steal from you.

Say for example you want to buy an option contract in the close of business has an offer price of 0.85 and a price of 0.90. Most traders are arrayed limited to 0.90 or maybe a little higher, even if an upward gap opening the next day. However, what if there is a down gap? If the contract goes to open at 0.50 and has a limit order at 0.90, may be filled at 0.90, where at the same time, get the kind of market order filled at or near the 0.50. A loss of 40% may be a little more than an extreme example, but it is something to consider if you have a fear of market orders.
