Traders conduct weekend analysis for two primary reasons. One reason for doing this is to gain a broader understanding of the market one is interested in. The markets do not operate on weekends. The markets are not in flux over the weekend. Since this is the case, one does not need to react to situations. An individual's future plans for the week could be the second reason. Based on the analysis, traders can develop trading plans. As a result, one will have better financial results when they trade in the coming week.
