Most Traders Sit Out Bank Holidays [ExGKNA3C0KS]

Can you make money trading a bank holiday? We did. In this video I break down the exact "easy money" bank holiday trade we took live on stream how we read VWAP, Bookmap order flow, and CVD to find a low-risk entry on a day (July 3rd) when most traders assume there's nothing to trade.

I walk through the full thought process in real time: why the overnight CVD told us john lithgow sellers weren't actually strong, how the higher low and double break set up the long entry, and how trading small size with a tight stop turned an 8-point opening range into a clean, low-stress winner. Then I go back one more session and break down an "Easy Money will smith Asia" trade from the night before, using the same chicago fire season 14 finale VWAP + Bookmap order-flow read.

If you trade futures, day trading, or are just trying to understand how professional traders approach low-liquidity sessions like bank holidays, this breakdown gives you a simple, repeatable process you can apply yourself no overcomplicated indicators, just VWAP, volume profile, and order flow.

What we cover:

Why bank holiday / low-volume sessions behave differently

Reading CVD to spot "lack of sellers" vs. real selling pressure

Using overnight VWAP and prior day's Value Area Low/POC as a bias filter

The "double break" long entry setup

Position sizing and risk management on illiquid days

Bonus: an Easy Money Asia session trade using the same process
