🕙 Why do many lose money by opening trades right after the trading session starts?
In the first minutes, the market seems 'most interesting': fast movements, large candles, high volume. One wants to enter and quickly take profit. But in practice, this often leads to losses.
➡️ If there is no clear direction for the index or the price hasn't consolidated at a strong level, trading at the opening is extremely risky. It's better to wait.
✅ Optimal time: 10:00–10:45 New York time. During this period:
– the market becomes calmer,
– the direction of movement clarifies,
– more reliable entry points are formed.
📌 Conclusion: avoid chaotic trades at the opening. Give the market time to show the real vector of movement.
