I live in Europe and understand it will be a long weekend next week. Do you reccomend stopp trading after tuesday or Wednesday lunch? I trade the e-minis.

To answer your question, a lot depends on how much your particular strategy depends on volume. Mine, for example, does not require a great deal of volume, but it does require some.

if you like volitility and you're flexible like a lizard and crafty like a fox, the unreasonable swings a thin market can make could be your cup of tea - but if you're asking, sounds like you lack the experience and should stay away - or just watch
