Not enough downside action for ya? 15 handle range in the ES not good enough for ya? I'm sorry, but the Trin closing at 9.28 is not reflective of "boredom". If you think this market is boring, you ought to find another job. Summer is right around the corner, and most summer markets turn into the "dull-drums".
if this is boring then i don't know what kind of actions you are looking for! the last few days, there has been PLENTY of action! plenty of things to trade. both LONG and SHORT. oh well, you are missing out on all the opportunities...
Well, May through October typically are the worst 6 months of the year (See Stock Trader's Almanac) so you may be on to something...

Thought also of Daryl -Guppy plan; ''dont confuse a high probability with infallibility''
