I know that typically a lot of traders start winding down their systems from around mid-December through after the 1st long week of the New Year. I've tend to do that as well every year.
But I'm conflicted because my backtests are fully run right through that period. And there's this spread analyzer that Dear Leader Wim has built into GK as well.
I intend to quant-analyze carefully the trading results in the Christmas Period through early Jan period in my backtests and see if that shows any disasters. If none... I might think about not shutting them down at all.
What do you intend to do?
POST EDIT: Looking back just on my uninterrupted EURUSD backtests results for the past 10 years, there's pretty much been little to no trades open from the period starting around 23rd Dec through to the end of the year. Heavy action tends to next occur around Jan 5th or thereabouts. It's fairly consistent right across the years.
