Is this the most volatile market ever? I think so.

Yes, I know all your comments were pre past week. I imagine things must be a bit different now after last week as the % change moves most certainly equal past peak volatile periods.

Is your trading going well in this environment? If I recall correctly, you're mostly or fully automated.

Good performance for me thus far but the events are far from over, I expect a lot more oddities.
I'm fully automated but in this environment, I prefer to watch everything closely. Circuit breakers and quick margin changes can bring on unexpected events. I also don't have a model to trade out of margin violations, I'm still at the mercy of IB's auto-liquidation which targets me every once in a while.

Glad to hear that.

I was particularly interested since you're automated and this market is far from normal.

2008-9 seemed more panicky due to the unknown becoming known....widespread fraud with staggering numbers from origination to secrutitization multiplied 100times by swaps.

Corona virus is the known becoming more unknown lol.

Both have panic, both have huge volatility but 2008/9 saw implosions yet to unfold with corona.
 
In 2008 we had bank runs as they started dropping like flies

Right now all we have are grocery store runs on toilet paper due to idiots
