Day trading for those with a day job

[ndtrader]

What are the financial instruments and markets that one can day trade if one has a day job and can't day trade 9AM-5PM. I heard that oil and forex can be traded 24X7. Is it true? What about commodities?

Please give me options. Also please let me know brokers and software for trading these instruments. Thanks in advance.

Answer: Regarding markets and financial Instruments there are two markets NSE and MCX. NSE Equity and cash timings 9 am to 3.30pm and NSE Currency upto 5pm Software can be used NOW application it can be run over cell phone and NEST as well but this Application run over system only.
MCX market which deals in Commodities like Crude, Gold, Silver etc,
Timings 9am to 11.30 pm
For person who is doing job MCX and Agriculture ,market is suitable.
One can take the help of good brokers for doing trade over phone and at a very low cost and its saves their money and efforts.There are many good and low brokerage firms like, Finvasia, Zerodha ( Its expensive in some ways) etc.

Most international markets do not have the pattern day trading requirement. Forex market is open 5 days a week for 24 hours so you can trade with your job.

But as far as I know we can only trade INR pairs? And the market for that closes around 6PM or so I think. Someone please clarify. Thanks.
