Turn off EAs over Christmas?

 

Hello,

last year it was recommended to turn off all EAs over December until 2nd week of January.

Is it best to do so again?

Kind regards

It depends on the EA and the way it trades. Usually the forex market is quite shallow over the holidays and its advisable to be careful through the first days of January.

With shallow you mean flat with maybe some nasty spikes, right?

Exactly right, low volumes with many dangers.

Alright.

So I turn my breakout hedge systems off from 14.12. until 10.01. :)
