I will give you a couple of reasons to enjoy your Xmas, and give it a rest during these holiday's

First of all you need a rest - you have been working hard for a long time, your head is filled with charts and analysis
and it needs a rest - a distraction to be able to reload, and go at it freshly again
I you don't change your focus now and then -away from the markets- your brain will snap, or overload,
and then you will be in trouble - you will make crazy decisions, or just get ill

Secondly, most market makers, banks, stock markets, and trading offices are either shut/off on Holiday/or very thinly staffed
during the Xmas holidays
This means there is nearly nobody trading, so spreads are bad (nobody wants to accept your orders right now),
liquidity is super-thin, so the market could jump on a couple of million dollar trades instead of the usual billion(s)
and nothing will happen normally,

so even if you get in - lose a lot on the wide spreads - be in a dangerous superthin market, still nothing happens -
the market remains flat because nobody is trading, only the Japanese markets are open at Xmas
and only their economic news is coming out
No big news means nothing to trade, so market remains flat mostly

So enjoy your Xmas days - take your mind of the markets for a couple of days - have fun - eat, drink - be with your family
and you will come back rested - a stronger trader again - markets will stay illiquid until the beginning of next year,
so you will have time to prepare your strategy after Xmas

Merry Xmas again all!!!!
