Since you live in Florida, times are EST?

I do not know what to make sense of this article, so you must forgive me for my ignorance. In below A) refers to my answers  The title states “How does TIME effect your trading?” A) I believe this should be “How does TIMING and chosen TIME FRAMES AFFECT your trading”. To affect something is to change or influence it, To effect something is a rather formal way of saying `to make it happen'. So I guess the author refers to “affect” as opposed to “effect”. The author says and I quote:  “This is not just limited to the time you enter the trade, although that is certainly going to impact your trade because of typical pip movement during the time of day and economic events. A) I believe “time you enter the trade” means when you open a position. Yes indeed it affects why you go in. Imagine opening a position when London market opens and doing the same at 7:00PM GMT when nothing is happening.  The author says “This is not just limited to the day either. Did you know that certain days have different average pip movement ranges?” A) Are we referring to certain days of the week like Fridays or we are talking about month end or when important announcements are made? If we are talking about something like SMA, then SMA is effectively shows a trendline and its sensitivity depends on the number of timeframes chosen for SMA but has little to do with certain days. There are clearly two distinct points in here; 1: The timeframe or rather the width of the histogram (5 min, 30 min 1 hour, a day etc) and 2: when you open a position or timing. The author goes on:  All three effect the volatility and therefore the potential upside and downside of an entry. The time frame itself is one of the most important and often the most overlooked. Consider time frames like a slice of psychology. The bigger the time frame - the bigger the slice. The bigger the slice - the most chance for a wider pip range. This is not necessarily true as well. The larger timeframe will contain more volume of trades, however, that does not necessarily equates to wider pip range. Case in point a 15 minutes timeframe at 8:00AM London time on an instrument like GBP/USD will potentially have larger pip movements than a 2 hour timeframe between 7-9PM for the same instrument, same day. Conversely how many people open a position in an hourly timeframe for EUR/USD at 7:00PM London time? From a statistical point of view a larger time frame will contain more volume of trades and as such there will be more confidence in the position opened. However, if there is little volatility, then having larger timeframe will not help. In other words you will get an SMA which is effectively flat and the 15 min SMA is the same as 4 hours SMA. I would forgo the rest of the article as it is not clear to me what it is trying to convey. However, if I may add the following: Higher timeframes from the probability point of view have more data and hence the mean or averages on them are more reliable than the lower timeframes that typically contain less data and hence more suspect to statistical uncertainty. For example, a daily trading chart can be used to open a position in an hourly chart etc and that is the reason why the majority of trading techniques (SMA, Elliot Wave, Ichimoku etc) consist of an observation of higher timeframes and opening positions in a lower timeframe.
