Mini - also consider volume based charts. On the YM try 400-500 share bars. Moving to volume based bars is the single, biggest improvement I have EVER made to my trading and I owe to the thread that ProfLogic started. I am not here to debate the merits, just that volume based charts is what has pushed my trading over the edge and has given me the ability to trade in all markets - fast or slow moving.
Maybe this is "normal" and the past 9 months has been "abnormal"? Historically, it's extremely unusual to see VIX below 20 for more than a few days, let alone almost a year.
Good point skunk. I hope what we are seeing is the 'norm' for the rest of the year! ( I know, wishful thinking)
I agree with empee 1) smaller size - just cut down to the half 2) bigger timeframe - just double your timeframe 3) switch from selling options to buying options And RELAX, RELAX, RELAX - reduce your exposure don't get greedy or emotional attached
