Steph - Assuming you can work the 9:30am - Noon EST shift and going for +5 on the YM, you can crank out some major trades with the right methodology. I personally hate the YM, but I understand the attraction.

I would not rule out making some good trades and cash before you head to work. This morning yielded 29 trades for myself. That's not good or bad for you, I'm just suggesting that you don't limit your thinking and profit potential by simply saying that you only have 3 or so hours to work.
I've been having trouble with the YM and it's been really hit and miss for me (unfortunately more miss). Anything out there that doesn’t have wild swings?
I’d like to crank out a few major trades, but that all elusive “right methodology” is the key I haven’t been able to find yet.

I only have about an hour to find trades in the morning (starting 6:30 when cash markets open) before going to work. Although, I do have a lot of sick time accumulated…maybe I’ll call in and trade all day.
