Investing While Working a Full Time Job

(Before It's News)

Hey everyone, first timer here. I need some advice, lately I have been interested in future trading. Working a full time job I was looking for something to trade after work, I found that future trading is almost 24 hours. I started to use virtual trading as a way to practice. I focused on S&P 500 mini and only buy 1 to 2 contracts. I plan to start out with one contract if I ever go live. My issue is that the action happens during trading hours and not much is happening the night before till the early mornings. Anyway, although I got the hang of it, I find it challenging since I am unable to watch the stream line chart. I do use stop loss or trailing stops, but since I can not always monitor during my day time job, I find my self losing a lot of virtual cash.

I live in USA and on the east coast. I wanted to use 5,000 to 8,000 as a start.

I just wanted to know if there anybody work a full time job and also make small or large second income investing in futures, stock, options etc….
