Trading With a Full-Time Job: The 30-Minute Trader

You do not need to stare at charts all day. Learn how to trade CFDs with just 30 minutes per day. The 30-minute routine, alert setups and weekend prep that.

The Schedule

17:00: Check charts (before NY close). 17:05: Scan daily charts for setups. 17:15: Place orders for tomorrow. 17:25: Set alerts. 17:30: Done.

Strategy Selection

End-of-day trading is ideal. Use daily charts for trend, 4H for entries. Place limit orders at key levels and let them trigger while you work.
