What trading over the holidays looks like on a chart:
Cable hr1 on a US broker - nothing much to learn, the thing about gaps wanting to close (unfilled orders waiting) doesn’t seem to apply:
Hmmm… so the UK guys take their holidays a little more serious, they go home…
Same chart, same t/f … UK broker… see the gaps, most recent filled just this Friday.
So first thought is …wonder are there sells or buys up there.
Edit: not disparaging UK or US traders, just pointing out that in the market orders have to be filled regardless of time of year

I was on a holiday break and didn’t trade during those times. I will be starting to look for good entries this week. Good luck to everyone! 
Thanks @CoinLady! 
Unfortunately, I had personal and family issues this week so I wasn’t able to put in that much trades. UGH. 
Anyway, the year’s just starting. I still have so much time to turn things around. 
Haha. But, good luck on your trades too!
Hmm. 
Surely sounds complicated for a noob like me. 
I’m not really sure how to trade those gaps and when or where to anticipate them.
For the holidays I decided to take a break. Glad that I did because I surely needed it. However, during the holidays I watched the markets just in case but didn’t like it, less liquidity and wider spreads. And now, after the long holiday it’s time to go back on track. @justshell @mlawson71 glad to see you had successful trades, obviously it was a good start of the new year.

I also took a short break during the holidays from the world of trading. In days of extended spreads and lower liquidity, I decided to spend time with my family and friends. And as people say New Year - New luck.
I also took a break from LIVE trading over the holidays, I didn’t stop learning though!
