Kardec Trader explains why they only trade the first one to two hours of the session. Most opportunities happen at the open, and sitting through low-probability setups all day defeats the point of trading for freedom.
I typically trade the first hour to two hours of the trading. I'm not a fan of sitting through the whole session because the way I trade, opportunities for me happen on the open or about an hour or two after. And for me also, trading has always been a way for me to have freedom. So it doesn't make sense to me to sit in front of my computer for 10 hours a day to put on trades that have low probability. So it's like, hey, if I can maximize my trading in the first two hours and be done with it, I'm good. I don't need to trade the whole session.
