The year 2019 flew by faster than ever although still in session but we qare going to get 2 or maybe 3 weeks of trading and then it's the new year. That brings us to that time of the year when everybody-apparently-is flat out of the market. Thin volume usually signifies the period. That makes that period vulnerable to flash crashes as we saw last year, Jan1,2,3 and the subsequent business as usual mode.
I realize that lightening is supposed to not strike the same spot but obviously it does and especially in the FX market.
So, my question is: Are you going to make sure you are going to be totally flat during the upcoming holidays?
If you are someone that goes flat at the end of day, week, month,year, obviously you will be flat but I am wondering how the "always in the trade" folks are feeling about this.
Another option is light trading.
A gradual reduction in volume until barely anything left? Like shut engines 1 and 8 and coast for a while and then shut engines 4 and 5 and so on?
Also, do you guys think the crash was a set up executed at the right time for the beneficiaries? Were there beneficiaries? Did they succeed in getting what they wanted?
But the biggest question to be asked is: Will they do it again...at the right time?
