The results that you have come up with most likely have a very high correlation with the long pronounced decline in the VIX over the past 8 months. Take a look at late '93 or '94. I believe that the VIX got as low as 9.0 It would be interesting to see what the S&P futures range was back then. I do recall some super slow days during the Summer of '93, with some really dull ranges. Be patient.
So? You want excitement, scalp multiple contracts off delayed charts. The daily moves are the same; they just take longer. But nobody says you have to sit in front of your computer. Set your alarms and clean the house. Cut the grass. Read a book.
