Low Volatility = Tougher for Traders?

No need for that. If you can get your assets and returns up to the point you feel like a success, that's a plenty good thing.

 

Those are just called traders , in fact they are executioners of orders.

High volatility usually means less orders from the clients hence less commissions and bonuses.
