The actions of Trump create the volatility necessary for day traders but harms swing traders?

    Do you have a date and time duration when the Emini ES futures moved 400 points (the max range you mentioned) in minutes from a Trump tweet ???

  2. April 7 this year. The entire move was 419.50 points in 33 minutes.

    Initial move was 298 points in 7 minutes.

    Thank you. I didn't trade that Monday April 7th because I took a three day weekend trip (Sat, Sun, Mon) with my family.

    I did hear it was very volatile that day.
