U.S. stock options "never close," but retail investors are the first to crash? An overlooked warning sign

Recently, many investment groups have been discussing the same topic:
Options trading hours are getting longer.
Some cheer.
Some worry.
And others have already started studying coffee machines.
On the surface, extending trading hours means more opportunities.
In reality, many people overlook one thing.
Opportunities and temptations often look exactly the same.
In the past, after the market closed, you could only rest.
Now, the market is always online.
So many investors start refreshing their accounts frequently.
A small price increase makes them happy.
A small drop makes them upset.
Sideways movement is boring.
As a result, the market drives their day 24/7.
Psychology has a classic phenomenon:
Humans are far more sensitive to losses than to gains.
Therefore, the longer the trading hours, the faster anxiety accumulates.
Institutions actually welcome this.
Because more volatility means more trading volume.
More trading volume means more commissions.
Wall Street's favorite phrase is:
No matter who wins or loses, as long as someone is trading.
So, for ordinary investors, what truly matters is not how long the market is open.
But whether they have clear rules.
Without a plan, longer trading hours only amplify mistakes.
With discipline, longer trading hours just increase choices.
The market always exists.
Opportunities always exist.
But sleep time is becoming more and more precious.
