The Optimum FOREX Trading Windows

I'm not a morning person. It's embarrassing to admit, given my age, but I slept until 10 this morning.

This presents a certain dilemna given my interest in stock market and FOREX trading.

Trading tends to slow down around 1 p.m. PST, coinciding with the close of the U.S. stock market. That gives me only a few hours to get a few trades in before the afternoon lull, when the price movement seems to bury itself into a tight Bollinger Band tunnel, only to emerge around 6 p.m. PST, when the European markets open.

I can't help but feel like I'm sleeping through some optimum trading. My only solution seems to be to adjust my sleeping routine for an earlier wake-up time. Perhaps I don't need to get up as early as 6:30 a.m., but getting up just one or two hours earlier may provide me with more opportunities to increase my account balance.
