Lack of volatility in ES getting brutal

Yes...while blind folded and drunk, very impressive.

 

I must be doing something wrong.

 

There's been good action in individual stocks and in sectors. Why not see the glass as ½ full rather than ½ empty, and adapt?

 

Why...because he is exhibiting poor trading behavior to the vulnerable, and sorry no cred for pump and dump pennies.

 

You may be surprise that there were more "disbelief" about the ability to trade Emini ES like what you show on your chart for 2015 and early part of 2016 with all that volatility in comparison to today when there's "less" volatility.

We just are not going to see conditions like that chart for awhile. Not many solutions except finding other volatile markets for those that need the volatility or stay on the sidelines and wait for better trading conditions because there's no rule/law that requires trading in poor market conditions regardless if new highs or new lows are being made.

I remember (documented some posters here at ET) many complaining about trading Emini ES in those years...blaming the volatile price movement on HFT. I guess, be careful of what we wish for...less volatility.

 

Just increase your position size by a factor of 5. Suddenly markets don't feel boring anymore.

 

Best time to trade any of these US markets is when VIX > 20. Otherwise it's just HFT trash and CB fuckery.

 

Do you mean the VIX future? Tell me how to watch it......if you don't mind.

 

See a little bit of whining sends the markets back to a volatility I can live with
