How can I invest in the stock market if I’m working?

There’s room for everyone to invest in the stock market, whether you have a full-time or part-time job.

How can you invest in the stock market if you work?

Here are the two main questions we ask ourselves about investing in the stock market while working.

Which market should I invest in when I’m working?

This will depend on your schedule, and therefore on the hours when you’ll be available to trade.

For day trading:

Forex is great, because it’s 24/24, and so this non-stop time slot allows everyone to trade when they want.

Stocks and indices are great too, with the time differences of different continents, it’s possible to match one of these markets with your free time.

For swing trading:

Swing trading is suitable for everyone, because by operating on daily charts, we only have to consult our chart once a day.

For forex you can trade on a 4-hour chart if you can take a look at your charts a few times during the day.

For investment:

We’re aiming for the long term, so monitoring is not daily and therefore accessible to everyone.

What strategy should I use to invest in the stock market while I’m working?

For swing trading and investing, all trading methods are suitable, since you’re trading on daily charts.

Day trading, on the other hand, is trickier, as it depends on the time of day you’re trading. For example, you won’t use the same strategy to trade eur/usd from 7 to 9 a.m GMT or at night. These are two distinct market phases, each with its own particularities.

For day trading on forex you can also choose the pairs that best suit your trading skills and methods, because in relation to Paris time, some pairs will have the same volatility at night as other pairs during the day.

Conclusion:

We’ve seen the points you need to take into account to know how to invest in the stock market when you’re working.

The stock market is a broad universe, and everyone will find their own trading style and time slot to suit their schedule.
