Trading in December. Everything You Need to Know Because of the coming holidays, you are probably wondering should you trade in December at all and if yes, when should you stop and resume your trading. In this article, I will share with you how I trade in December. First, let me briefly explain to you how holidays, especially Christmas and New Year, affect the financial markets. In many countries, Christmas and New Year's Day are official banking holidays. 🗓 In Europe, for example, December 24th, 25th, 26th and 31st are official banking holidays. In the UK, the markets are officially closed December 25th and 26th. While December 25th is the official banking holiday in the US. When I trade I stick to the following rule: when there is a banking holiday in US, UK or EU I don't place any trade in that exact day. However, with winter holidays it is a bit different. I always skip the entire Christmas week - from 25th to 30th of December , because even though many markets remain opened, they are hardly moving and very slow. You should also be very careful, trading the third week of December. Till Wednesday, I trade in a normal schedule. The presence of various important fundamentals in the economic calendar (especially the US ones), indicates potential volatility and nice movements on the markets. With many years of experience, I noticed that trading volumes start falling since Thursday. And on Friday in many countries there are early bank closes or banking holidays like in New Zealand. So my advice is, close all your trades on Wednesday 20th in the middle of NY session and stop trading. 📝 Here is the plan: we trade in a normal schedule the first half of December and then all the trades are closed, and we are enjoying holidays. And when should you resume trading? Again, here is a constant debate among traders. My take is to resume trading from the third week of January. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

Quick bitcoin update - Chop Neutrality aheadOverall I am not liking the current trading environment regarding bitcoins price action. I can see the next week start to heat up as we look to break this ascending wedge, but until then I don't really see a reason to try to trade this sideways action. Be patient and the plays will come. Right now is the time to evaluate potential setups in Bitcoin and the overall ALTcoin market, I will be posting my thoughts as the week goes on. This next week could be pivotal for the market so make sure to set alerts At the specified price targets listed. Price Areas I am watching out for. A dip below the diagonal at $36,572- $37,451. A break above the horizontal Fib level .382 at $38,104 Set alerts for both of these areas. A break below likely means a decline on the way pre-Christmas, a break above and I think our next targets will quickly be broken. Be aware though as it is the holiday season we may see some price decline as people withdraw gains to pay for gifts and vacations, on the other hand, the holidays generally mean people bragging to their family about gains. So this could lead to a post-Christmas pump fairly easily as new capital floods the market. For more information feel free to ask!

DON'T TRADE ON HOLIDAYS | 4 Crucial Reasons Explained In this educational article, we will discuss why is it recommendable not to trade during the holidays season. 🏦 The main source of problems comes from the fact that the big market players like banks, hedge funds and investing firms are absent. Similarly to ordinary people, bankers and investors prefer to spend the holidays with their relatives and friends instead of staring at charts on Christmas Eve. But how does it affect the market? Big players are the main source of the market liquidity. The liquidity itself is the measure to which an asset can be quickly bought or sold in the market at a price of its quotes. Therefore, when the big players are missing, the market liquidity drops. 1️⃣ That fact instantly reflects in the market spreads. They become substantially bigger, directly increasing the costs of each trade and making it problematic to open a position at a desired price. 2️⃣ Secondly, low liquidity leads to a decrease in volatility. The market becomes weak and indecisive. As traders, we make the money on market moves. Our goal is to catch a bullish or a bearish wave. Their absence deprives us of profits or, at least, dramatically decreases them. 3️⃣ Thirdly, when the liquidity is low, even small market participants can move the market. It dramatically increases the probabilities of false signals. Relatively low trading volumes may manipulate the market, substantially decreasing the efficiency of technical and fundamental analysis. 4️⃣ The increased costs of trading, low volatility and manipulations should have convinced you to stay from charts during the holidays season. However, the main reason to not trade on holidays is much simpler. Holidays give you an opportunity to stay with your family, to take a break, to recharge and relax. Even a part-time trading is very exhausting and requires a constant attention. Let yourself be distracted and return after holidays. I wish you a great holidays season, traders! ❤️If you have any questions, please, ask me in the comment section. Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

We wish you a Merry Christmas!🌟 Dear traders, This year we faced a lot of obstacles and problems. For many, this year was phenomenally hard. There is a famous quote by Marcus Aurelius “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” In any obstacle, there is an opportunity. What we should be doing, we should look at every obstacle that we face as an opportunity for us to grow and to make us stronger so that we can turn that into an opportunity. Every obstacle is the way forward. I wish you all a lot of opportunities next year. Merry Christmas!!!🌟 Christmas holidays Trading vacation winter Santa gift christmastree marvel greeting wish newyear celebration

Happy Holidays!Wishing everyone Happy Holidays! 🎄🕎 I hope you enjoy my chartwork (the Christmas tree is brought to you by the shooting star 🌟 pattern on Carvana's quarterly chart). As I reflect on this challenging past year, I thought I would post a few of the lessons I have learned trading and investing over the years. Trading Always manage risk by using a stop loss. Consider the asset's Average True Range (ATR) on the timeframe you're trading on. If the distance from your entry price to your stop-loss price is less than the ATR, then your trade is likely to fail (stop loss triggered) simply due to normal volatility. If feasible, consider hiding your stop loss under large buy orders using level II market data. Avoid trading on assets with low volume or assets with wide bid-ask spreads. Consider the tax implications of your trades and consider developing a trading strategy that avoids triggering or minimizes the effect of the wash sale rule. For more trading tips you can read my post linked below. Investing Always manage risk by diversifying portfolio holdings. Consider holding a wide array of uncorrelated assets or a broad array of low-fee ETFs, REITs, and/or mutual funds. When available, always opt to automatically reinvest dividends. This strategy works for investing (not trading) because most assets preserve wealth better over time than holding cash. Buying more and more of an asset over time compounds growth. Consider the tax implications of your investments. Consider maximizing your investment's growth by using tax-sheltered accounts (IRAs and HSAs) and harvesting tax losses in taxable brokerage accounts. Only invest in assets that, when adjusted for dividends, move up in price at a faster rate than that which the money supply grows. To determine whether an asset achieves this, compare the asset as a ratio to the money supply. For more details, you can read my post linked below. These are just a few of the many lessons I have learned over the years. I have dozens of pages of tips and lessons learned in my Trading & Investing Notebook. I encourage everyone to keep a notebook. What trading and investing lessons have you learned over the years? What tips would you give to a beginning trader? Leave a comment below!

Opinion (intuition): The period around December is really poor. It has been nearly 2 months of range. If you have been making money in these markets you probably have been doing something wrong. The ??? never lasts forever. Some pairs are not in a clear range like this, but I can't extract anything out of them, and some not being in a clear range shows that you can't even make money fading since you do not know which pair will go all over the place (like usdchf), which one will "clean" range, which one will "dirty" range. I personally do not see an edge. Some people made money with this thing but you have to be involved with exotic pairs, know what you are doing... : For me since early November it has either been very poor setups, or no setup at all, or setups but that retrace way too much on the way to target. In 2021 the good stuff came back at the end of January, in 2020 it came back between the middle and end of the month. From my backtesting I cannot really tell for sure, but my experience so far is that mid November to mid January are not even worth the effort, or maybe they are but we have to be super picky and patient, checking what is going on every day to not get any trade for tens of days in a row. Other than the obvious lack of setups, this is what I experienced each time during this period: So basically it seems to me it is just best to entirely stay away the whole time. Keep motivation and everything else high, no point wasting energy. I almost never hear anyone speak about this (because most people just invest randomly and do not really have an edge?). I am not dreaming, this period is clearly bad. The great thing is I am seing potential setups start to form, and from experience on top of that it should just be a few days before we can get back to business. Last year february had big rewards, it was an incredible month, the price action was even a bit too violent and I was not that ready after sleeping 2 months. Other than that 2021 wasn't that great for me, in particular September-October disappointed me but I backtested a bit and easily went from 2 (imperfect) strategies (only 1 until late 2020) to 4 + 1 extra, and got the answers to the details I was uncertain about, perfected entries, risk reward, trailing, adding. I did so much, now it seems I had almost nothing 18 months ago, and I went from 1 setup 60% complete to 4 setups 90% complete. Mentally hard to get all that, to be so eager to perform, and then not be able to apply it for 2 months because London is on vacation partying or something. But as you can see: when not much is going on you can always use the time to improve what you do! Or go on vacation, your vacation depend on the market more than the school year (as your sleep does), but if the market is so cyclical with the end of year being mostly dead each time you can go on vacation each end of year (bring your laptop or at least phone just in case). Don't feel forced to modify your strategy either though, right now my goal is to change nothing, just force myself to run setups in my checklist before setting an order (it takes 2 minutes why am I so lazy?), keep repeating without touching anything not even backtesting, and harvest my edge(s). These 2 months were so depressing I didn't even have anything to say and barely posted any ideas, a shame, would have kept me busy, but zero inspiration. I wonder how the period around December 2022 goes? Probably best I just go on vacation. Also take the time to do accounting, reflect on the year, optimize taxes, and so on...
