$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Christmas, for me, is less about escape and more about recalibration.
I deliberately scale back active trading during this period. Liquidity thins, price action becomes more sentiment-driven, and the risk–reward for short-term trades deteriorates. Rather than forcing activity, I treat the final stretch of the year as a time for review rather than execution.
My usual approach is a light-monitoring mode. Key levels, macro headlines, and positioning risks stay on the radar, but there is no urge to react unless something genuinely breaks framework assumptions. It is a conscious shift from doing to observing.
The more valuable work happens off-market. Reviewing what worked and what did not, stress-testing convictions, reassessing risk tolerance, and refining playbooks for the coming year. This quiet reflection often produces better decisions than any additional trade placed in December.
As for travel style, I lean towards calm over spectacle. A slow Asia getaway or a nature-led retreat suits me more than crowded itineraries. The goal is rest with clarity, not distraction. A good reset should leave you mentally lighter, not exhausted.
Markets will still be there in January. Perspective, once lost, is harder to regain.
