I've been thinking about daytrading in my spare time, which is usually between 7pm and 10pm at night once the 'day job' has finished! I'm reading lots of material but am struggling to determine which is the best product (IE, forex, Futures etc) for this time of night. Obviously I have to learn from scratch but would appreciate some help in focussing on what to learn to best suit my time availability.

cheers

I mainly just trade the FTSE cash with IGMarkets at that time.

If you want to learn forex check out The Forexfactory Forums. A wealth of info there.
