Quote from silk:

Sometime around 9:45am i stared into my 4 monitors and almost broke into tears as I stared into the abyss of "non-opportunity". I hadn't even made a trade. How dissapointing to see nothing to trade. Nothing to do. Its shocking what has become of the market. Briefly i had the urge to not even trade. Never have i felt like this. I'm sure institutions feel the same way, contributing to the lackluster environment. They are getting their butts handed to them daily, so why even bother juggling around the portfolio. You are smoked where ever you try to park your money.

I have to say that later in the day i did recognize some trades and there was some stuff to do.

Let me just state that you have had way more success then I have had. However have you ever thought of taking some time off until the war thing is resolved or until you see things happening again for your style on a more consistent basis. You might not get in right when it picks up but you might save your save a lot of money if you find that you are losing money over a monthly or weekly basis. That is one of the advantages of not working for anyone, you do not have to trade everyday. I know several experienced traders who have decided to step away until the war thing is resolved. They don't want to burn themselves out battling in this sh-t and serious alter their stategies for the limited movement lower reward environment where they become hesitant when we do start moving again. If the worst case scenario happens where we stay like this indefinitely then it might be time to for many of us to reavalutate what we do.
 
Unleash the volatility soon. I know i'm too afraid to miss a good day of trading. I should take a month off. But i won't.
