I was wondering why isn’t the market open 24 hours a day now. I understand earlier it wasn’t possible but now w technology don’t see why we can’t be open 24/7. Is there any risks for it? I feel it will help stabilize the market

Probably for the health/sanity of traders. I recall one of my clients explaining that they brought in food every day because they didn't allow their traders to leave the office while markets were open.

Heard that from multiple people. The cost of food is peanuts in relation to the amount of money that can be gained or lost if they miss something

Markets do not exist for the benefit of sweaty day traders.

Markets being open 24h a day will just stretch out liquidity over a longer time window. That will increase volatility and the likelihood of a flash crash due to some twat executing a huge transaction at 3am. You already see it with UK/US FX trades on public holidays or APAC hours, and that market is as liquid as it gets.

Markets being closed also help ensure better risk management due to giving people time to assess their positions with stable market data.

It also lets market moving information to be distributed giving people time to digest it.

TLDR

If anything, market hours should be cut

I trade exclusively crypto and the markets are open 24/7. I can’t tell you how many times I have woken up in the middle of the night after having a bad dream that the market pumped or dumped against my trade bias. 😂

I got out of trading crypto partially for that reason. So stressful and it just never ends.

Anyone else having WFH fatigue? I had been traveling weekly for business the last 20+ years, but the last 3 months at home has been personally challenging. I love my wife and 3 boys — but I need some “alone time” which I used to have when traveling. Sometimes I get in my car and go for a drive but it’s not enough. Seems like this WFH is the new working model for the future. Anyone else feel this way?

Happy Friday. Just a reminder of a few things:

- ADHD is a disability, but it’s not the end of the world
- give yourself a break. Your brain needs it more than you realize
- medication is not a cure-all treatment. Medication + diet + exercise + self-organization is the key.
- ADHD causes us to feel emotions stronger than the average person.
- failure is inevitable, but so is success. Act accordingly, and be kind and fair to yourself
- life is hard, but that’s… wait, what was I saying? 😂😎❤️

Should I wait until that promotion is offered to me? Or would it be dumb to apply for a Venture X card separately and a) hold both cards or b) close out the original Venture card.
