i looked back 4 years on spy for full trading days and this looks like the lowest trading vol at 57 mil or so. this exact same day last dec traded 3 times the vol
hope liquidity comes back next year if not many traders will start competing with mexicans for odd jobs, i already wrapped up for this year 2 weeks ago
Just look at the past trading volume in the SPY. It used to trade much less than it is now. Its a horrible trading environment, but thats what happens in a bull market. Volatility dies out.
Gotta say I have never actively traded in a market this boring. Hasn't been too bad for swing trading but like watching paint drying on a daily basis.
