Quote from antincedo:
yeah, i guess proper money management could compensate for the lack of big runs... its a little disappointing though as i've been enjoying the higher volatility.. how long do you think this will last?
Until we hit the real bottom, which will happen within the next few weeks.
I expect volatility to drop dramatically when the real bottom is in and we'll likely trade sideways - from a daily chart perspective - for many months.
Enjoy this volatility as long as it lasts.
We will all miss it when it's gone.
However, it won't be the end of the world. Trading will be a little more boring but markets will be more stable. I will be able to go take a piss without missing a 100-pt move in 30secs, etc...
Very high volatility ----> more money ----> higher risk ----> more stress
Lower volatility ----> decent money ----> low risk ----> little stress
I see advantages in both.
