Quote from risktaker:



I don't know of anybody with experience in the market excited about this "volatility".

"I'm lovin it!"

But ofc it fits my style.


Death to quants!

Quote from gwac:

Can you suggest any futures that are more rangy.

TIA

Look at the Nikkei 225 morning session, although even that has been quite trendy as of late.

No, the CL we are talking about is the NYMEX futures symbol for Crude Oil.

Quote from risktaker:

What's "rangy"?

Something that doesn't move?

I guess what he means is range bounded.

ES was very range bounded and structured back in 2002 and 2003. Even in 2006 you can out guess where the top or bottom will be put in for the day once a trend has started.

Nowadays, we may get 16 pts "tight range" for 2 days, then a all hell break loose day with 30, 40, or more pts. with no boundary in sight.

To the poster on rangy stuff,

The spread of NQ and ES has not increased in range. Check it out.

I also day trade 6, but mine are a little different.

ES
ER2 (my favorite mkt)
CL
EC
30 year
Gold

At any given time I am only in one or two positions, but watching 6 gives me more opportunities. Ya need several screens though.

The Yen and 10 Year are monsters ... you probably need a good cup a java.

Good trading.

if you are not excited about volatility you are not a trader.
