Quarter-end and year-end: what changes in your trading?

Quarter-ends bring rebalancing and window-dressing; year-end adds thin books and position squaring. The final sessions of a period often diverge from the trend the rest of the period built.

What's your period-end playbook?

• how you adjust entries and holding into the close
• the pairs most affected in your experience
• whether you flatten early or trade through

The calendar marks the periods; your journal marks your own period-end patterns.
