The hell is wrong with the market?

The Friday after Thanksgiving used to be a great trading half day.
Remember Books A Million (BAMM) in 1999?
Went from like $4-$20+
One of the best half days ever for anyone who showed up.

Been crap trading since the rise of the machines in the late 2000’s.
But still worth logging in to see if there’s a micro cap runner.

 

It's recommended to avoid trading futures today and tomorrow..especially when you are a beginner..

 

So it goes up 3-5%?

 

Come back on Monday. Nobody are trading anyhow.

 

Don't eat too much and don't drink too little!

 

trade Eur session.
There are things like brexit news that will move market.
There are lots of Italy bond, GBP ... even Natural Gas trading opportunitites
yesterday NG moved during eur session, not US session.

come US session, people don't trade but they eat things like turkey

 

Options close early today.

 

Today looked like any other day in the futures market.

 

That’s why I was asking.The hell the market has to do with thanksgiving

 

I gather the dinner is the important part, apparently it must include turkey. Some other things are traditional, some I have no idea what they are -
riced potatoes
winter squash
cornbread
pumpkin pie (this is a dessert!)
sweet potato pie
eggnog (this is a drink!)
