If you live in a country with a +7GMT, +8GMT, +9GMT, trading should fit well into your trading lifestyle. If you are an intraday trader, you can choose to trade during the active hour. For most Japanese Yen related pairs is from 9 am-11 am (+8GMT); or most Euro & UK Pound related pairs is from 3 pm-5 pm (+8GMT); or US Dollar, Canada Dollar, Australia Dollar related pairs is from 8 pm-10.30 pm (+8GMT). I see it as a perfect arrangement for traders who live in that region, and there isn't a need for you to stay up till 3 am to trade and earn a living out of it at the expense of your health. Even if you have irregular working hours or you do not happen to live in those timezones, you can trade on the 4-hourly chart or the daily chart. In short, there's no need for you to make huge sacrifices to be in this and when you do it right, you just need 30mins a day to work on your analysis.
