Beware of slow trading this Thursday-Friday (Dragon Boat Festival) AND Monday (Whit Monday)

                                                                           
Holidays are coming up yet again! As a result, trading will likely be slow during this time. Some markets will even be closed (check with your broker to find out which markets will be affected).

For you scalpers out there, it will probably be a good idea to exit your positions some time on Friday and wait until the following Tuesday (11th) before attempting any trades.
