this volitility is cause for concern

  1. Everyone has their own trading style/ strategy. For mine, recently I've been seeing over half a dozen signals per day for the contract I trade. This is my definition of high volatility.

  2. Volume on these down moves is telling - we are moving up big over the next 2-3 months.

    Most methods aren't suitable for exploiting volatility. In contrast, the few that are suitable for volatility...those are the traders that see above average increases in their profit levels whenever volatility shows up.

    Thus, it's understandable why most traders don't like volatile market conditions because they know they'll do poorly.

    By the way, I like when markets have increasing volatility. Just the same, I like changing volatility (breakout above or below a prior range)...good trading conditions.

    i did'nt get the free fall signal yet but red flags are flashing. a close below 10,380 ..that was the close on May 7th, will more than likely mean a trip to 9900. thats another 400 points to be had.

  10. Over the years I have observed that those who can spell can't support their assertions any better than those who can't.
