That's a good observation. I break things down into three time segments, open to 10:30, 10:30 to 2:00, and 2:00 to close. As you know, the period between 3:30 and 4 can be pretty wild too.

These time segments help me make evaluations about the overall trend on a particular issue versus the indices. I actually figured it out when I did a complete analysis of my trades over a one week period and discovered that the trades I made between 11 and 2 were consistently higher percentage losers.

I'm not implying that one time segment is better or worse; I LOVE the mornings before 11, whereas you do better in the afternoon. Just pointing out that for me, breaking the day up helped me analyze my trades and filter out the less successful stuff.
