As year-end festivities kick in, a dangerous pattern emerges: discretionary spending spikes while trading discipline crumbles. Vacations drain capital. Family events pull focus. Alcohol loosens decision-making. The result? Blown accounts.
Holiday seasons historically spike impulsive trading—higher leverage, reckless entries, zero risk management. Traders raid their buffers for shopping, then panic-trade to recover losses. The market punishes distraction ruthlessly.
Smart moves during holidays: reduce position sizes, tighten stops, or simply step away. Your account will thank you when January rolls around.

Every year around this time, people say the same thing, and what happens? Still get liquidated as usual. I think it's all talk about discipline, but in reality, they're all in with their hands.

Haha, really, every year around this time, I see a bunch of accounts exploding... When the holidays come, people's brains go haywire, and using trading funds to buy things is just crazy.

Historical data shows that during holidays, the liquidation rate is 28% higher than usual. This is no coincidence... The most ironic part is that you still have to pay gas fees.
