do people sit out or trade more at the end of a calender month?

End of the month is best for traders, unlike 9-5 job people who tend to go broke by the end of the month. I personally withdraw 50% of my profit and enjoy.

Why should in your opinion this pattern exist? We can conjecture some seasonal patterns like reduced volatility or volumes in the days before and after holidays (like during Christmas time) but I doubt there is some pattern connected to the end of calendar month.

Why not compounding?

ahhh,, yesss... I am planning to reduce my withdrawal percentage even more in a couple of months, but completely reinvesting all my profits is a little scary thought to me... What about you? Do you compound all your profits every time?

It depends on how you manage your budget. Some people like to close out trades so that they can evaluate their monthly profitability easier. I personally don't think there's a need for that, but to each their own.

Nothing much changes for me compared to any other time of the month.

I tend to take it easier tbh, more so with Indexes etc.
But with Forex, I don't think the point in the month is nearly as important as particular events i.e NFP etc.

Last day of the month is usually pretty volatile as hedge funds balance their books for a new month! Lets see what tomorrow brings.

The only time I have sat out so far is Christmas and New Years holiday season
