I tried an experiment, learn a lot by way of it, would like to see if others share the view. I've found that there are some times of the day that appear to be ideal for trading specific coins. so the questions are:

- have you found that to be the case for you,
- if so, what is the best time of day to day trade in general, and
- what might be some of the cryptocurrencies, exchanges, or venues that you are able to benefit more from at specific times of the day?

Here are some of my findings:
for coins that are widely held and like LTC and BTC, time of day seems to have little impact, but for some highly volatile coins I've notice that between 2 - 4am est when many are sleeping, and many computers are on auto maintenance (cleaning, formatting, defrage, backing-up, etc ...), exchange activity is basically very few humans against very few bots.

The second best time was between 5am and 5:45am, perhaps this is the period just before viewing the computer, or during S/SSS.

But the sweet spot appears to be that time when the kids are giving you a hard time waking up, breakfast is being consumed, and the mad dash is taking place -- 7am to 7:30am

What's your experience?

Agreed. I'm not sure if this would make it the "best" time to trade, but there certainly seems to be more action around the time when the US wakes up (7-9am EST) and during dinner time for me (7-8pm EST)

oh, perhaps I should have qualified my statement, that seem to be the best time to get the lowest buy prices (bargains)
