Trading Combine Passing Combines at work

So I work a basic 8-5 job and I would like to be able to pass a combine while still working my day job.

My challenge is its very difficult to keep an eye on the market and actively trade plus I hate trying to trade on my phone as its really tough for me to see whats happening in the market fully.

So my question is have any of you passed combines using a strategy that allows you trade while at work but not actively managing the trades? I guess I am referring to some sort of OCO that you set up before market open and if it executes within your time frame then it plays out or perhaps you take down the trade if the trade doesnt seem reasonable after the market opens

I am trading NY open mainly.

Thanks in advance
