I am just vasting my time with this type of volatility. The only hope is that it will suddenly change, but I simple can not trade sucesfully with that low volatility. Chop is not problem but if the range is 1 point....
Can it be worse in future?

For the sake of all that is good, lets hope not. I have cut down my hours to 9:30am -11am then 2pm-4pm

Flat ES.

Hasta la clase que viene.

The thing I'd be concerned about is if it continues this slow, what will the summer be like?

It'll probably be like last summer; Gap in the least favorite direction and churn. Wash, rinse, and repeat.

eventually we will have to trade currencies or commodities, if the money keeps leaving equities

Yeah but last summer at least had some decent RTH ranges, uncharacteristically so (for summertime).

Yes but look on EUR, gold and oil - they are barely moving.
This is very difficult and dangerous to trade.

I think at the moment everyone is waiting for a resolution to the situation in Greece, and possibly to some degree tomorrow's NFP.

If u guys are bored sell options on the futures. This mrkt is ideal especially when we have a pretty defined range (1040 to 1150 range)
