Weekends and Holidays are ruined! Thanks to trading

I've been trading now for a little over 2 years. Started when Elon musk pumped dogecoin. I bought in cheap. Made some money. Instantly I was hooked. TERRIBLE way to begin though. My first win was big and I immediately had the thought that this shit was easy peasy!
Wrong.
Lost all that money, and then some trying to earn it back but the itch was there and I had to keep scratching.
Started learning day trading stocks from Ross Cameron's YouTube.
After some time I learned not having a 25000$ margin account made things difficult.
Switched to forex. Don't matter how much you got. Shits difficult.
Now I trade futures. Also difficult. But I enjoy trading oil and gold! I've had more profitable success with futures.
Slowely but surely I'm getting the hang of it and starting to make money rather than lose or break even as I have been the past couple years.
But now, I'm hooked
I love it!
Except for weekends and holidays when I can't trade. Probably for the best.
But still.
Funny how the things I would look forward to all week and all year are now dreaded.
Guess that's it. Not much of a thread here except why I don't like weekends or holidays anymore. I spend my weekends thinking about trading by I can't trade.

There are Rehab centres to solve that problem. Just kidding.

But it could become a kind of an addiction if you don't take care.

I love to see the dynamics of markets every trading day as well. Getting my softwear trimmed to see/find the best edges.

I think $25K trading account is a little high if you trade futures. Specially if you can trade Micro contracts.
It's better to be out wishing to be in... than to be in wishing to be out!

Most Forex brokers offer Bitcoin trading, and it’s open on weekends.

Nah I don't need a 25000$ acct for futures. Just for margin on stocks. Futures I can trade with a 1000$ account just fine and not have to deal with the stupid PDT rule.

Yeah I've looked into trading eth but and doge on the weekends but it's not my cup of tea. And don't wanna scratch that itch with something I don't enjoy or lose on. Lol
