I can not trade futures in this enviroment

Quote from austinp:
<b>mymini</b>, try looking at your very same chart tools for the YM using a 500-tick chart. Let me know if that doesn't break up some surge candles and smooth out a bit of wildness here. [/B]

Mini - also consider volume based charts. On the YM try 400-500 share bars.

Moving to volume based bars is the single, biggest improvement I have EVER made to my trading and I owe to the thread that ProfLogic started. I am not here to debate the merits, just that volume based charts is what has pushed my trading over the edge and has given me the ability to trade in all markets - fast or slow moving.

What software do you use for volume charts?

Maybe this is "normal" and the past 9 months has been "abnormal"? Historically, it's extremely unusual to see VIX below 20 for more than a few days, let alone almost a year.

Good point skunk. I hope what we are seeing is the 'norm' for the rest of the year! ( I know, wishful thinking)
 
I agree with empee

1) smaller size - just cut down to the half
2) bigger timeframe - just double your timeframe

3) switch from selling options to buying options

And RELAX, RELAX, RELAX - reduce your exposure
don't get greedy or emotional attached
