People spend years learning how to trade & you want a short quick answer……… Sorry…. There is no such thing.

If there was a “best time” to trade… Wouldn’t all the professionals be doing it. I do have some rules for myself;
I never buy/sell before 10:00PM EDT
If a stock reaches its high 5 minutes before 4:00PM, I’ll buy.
I never trade during the hours of 11:30AM-1:30PM (lunch)

BUT…. These rules mean nothing without a ton of information I or anyone here can give you.

Here’s some places to start;
http://www.alphatrends.net/ (best “sum up” of daily activity on the web).
Http://www.tradingwithtk.com/ (good teacher, dangerous stocks).
