The limit moves were rare in and of themselves. We had only 3-4 of them down, and one up I believe, in the futures.

The price swings will still be there.

Have you looked at GC lately? There will be plenty of action this summer.

What are you talking about, GBP/NZD alone made a 500 pip move in less than 3 days, what more do you want?

you are trading pips. not percentages.

pips trading mostly bucketshop trading. and you need a lot of leverage in forex like min. 90% to make money in forex whereas stocks leverage is max 50% nobody would trade forex without the leverage. you cannot make money without the leverage. or make enough money without the leverage trading forex.

I trade with 50 to 1 leverage, that's more than plenty my friend.

Index futures are still fairly volatile and I think we may skip the summer doldrums this year.

If volatility is important to your trading...you could just trade markets that have higher volatility while ignoring markets with low volatility.

Simply, there's always something that's volatile as in with a lot of price movement...Up and Down.

You can thank the Fed for destroying volatility and making life miserable for all short-sellers.
