Hi guys. Since Christmas is fast approaching, I was just wondering if you guys will still trade on Christmas day. It’s actually my first Christmas demo trading so I’m not really sure about the usual moves during this time. I’m assuming a lot of people will be on vacation so will that greatly affect the market etc.?
(My mind’s kinda in holiday mode so please bare with me. Haha. Thank you!!)
these views must be guesses, i suppose - and are rather a long way off the mark
the more serious a trader one is, the less inclined one would be to trade over the Christmas holidays
there’s virtually no volume at all
there’ll be very, very little trading being transacted, and what there is will be for commercial currency-exchanging purposes only, rather than the conventional speculative trading (the “other 90%”) that drives markets - and almost none at all in any real size
as far as counterparty forex brokers are concerned, some close for a day or two, and many have significantly wider spreads than at other times of the year for several days
it’s typically a time for traders successful over the long term to keep away
from memory, i don’t think there have been more than one or possibly two years out of the last 30+ years that have been an exception to that
this is the perspective of anyone with any real experience
This is my first year and it will be interesting to see how market behaves during Christmas. I don’t think there would be enough movement for goods trades.
My first Xmas as a trader too. Will trade on that day…
I want to have a story to tell
Let me see for myself if the movement would be worst than Sydney session’s.
I don’t know really. But yes, as a scalper I always try to give emphasize on smaller price fluctuations. And for this reason, I am trying to over view the market at first.
Thank you. To each their own, if anyone wants to trade during the holidays and can do so successfully, more power to them. I’m not one of those people, so I avoid it.
Glad ur happy on the holidays, many friends are in poor health trying to keep their spirits up.
Personally, I don’t live trade in Dec- 2 weeks in Jan. Slow unpredictable market. Dec. Worst trading mth of year, yet w demo you can still learn even refine ur trading skills.
Believe market is closed Christmas Day.
Merry Christmas to ya,
