⚠️ Important Risk Warning
Please remember that market liquidity typically decreases significantly during the holiday season. This can result in:
- Wider spreads than usual.
- Increased slippage on stop-loss or market orders.
- Higher volatility or unexpected price gaps.
We strongly recommend reviewing your open positions and adjusting your risk management strategy accordingly during these low-liquidity periods.
Sincerely,
The Investiqa Team
