December typically sees trading volumes dry up across the board, while January kicks into high gear with fresh capital pouring in. The pattern's pretty consistent. What most traders miss is how brutal the volatility swings can get during that transition. If you're caught unprepared when the year flips, you could get liquidated just like that. Stay sharp.

December is calm, January surges. This wave of market movement is really going to eat people up.

Exactly right, the transition from December to January is indeed prone to setbacks. I got beaten up once last year because I wasn't well prepared.

Liquidity dries up at the end of the year, only to see large funds enter at the beginning of the new year. I'm already tired of this routine. The key is still that wave of transition's slaughtering move—how many people have fallen for this?

I was forced to liquidate once, the wave of market at the end of December directly wiped out my long positions.

December's trading volume dries up, and new funds flood in in January. This happens every year. The key is how fierce the fluctuations in between can be; many people get caught out here.
