    How do you manage your trading account when on vacation?

    Anything volatile I usually exit .... anything new, I might exit if I don't have at least 5-6% buffer on it ... any  trending thing I have with decent profit,  I go with a trailing stop or if it's a hard stop, I'll usually tighten them up ....   in this market, I dump more open positions and keep only the best play in my account
