$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ The Christmas period is best treated as a pause rather than a push.
My ideal plan is a quiet reset. Fewer screens, more reading, longer walks, and time deliberately left unstructured. It is one of the rare windows where stepping back improves clarity rather than costing opportunity.
From a markets perspective, I typically scale back active trading significantly. Liquidity thins, price moves can be exaggerated, and the risk-reward for new positions deteriorates. Instead, I prefer light monitoring only. Reviewing the year, stress-testing assumptions, and sketching scenarios for the new one tends to be far more productive than forcing trades. If anything, it is a time to reduce noise, not add exposure.
On travel style, I lean towards an Asia getaway or a calm beach escape rather than Europe’s Christmas markets. Warm weather, slower mornings, and minimal logistics suit the reset mindset better. Europe is beautiful, but it can feel performative and crowded during peak festive weeks.
In short, Christmas is for recalibration. Markets will always be there. Clear thinking is the real edge going into January.
