I recently emptied my trading account to buy my first house. I should have financed a bit more and left more in my account but whats done is done. I have been trying to find a second shift job but there is nothing here that interests me.
any suggestions on a nice contract to trade after 5pm? Even for down the road i wouldnt mind the trading day basically being the entire day.

After 5pm until when?

Are you talking overnight?

Look at the EUREX contracts:

DAX, FESX, FSTX

BOBL, BUND, SCHATZ

Or trade the ES or large ZSP (electronic SP) overnight.

Or look at the currencies.

Basically you want something with volume and volatility.

Probably FX is your answer as its a 24 hour market. Wait for the Asia open.

If you want an index, look at the Sydney Futures SPI, Hang Seng in Hong Kong or the Nikkei future traded in Osaka and Singapore (i'm not sure which is more active nowadays)
