Quote from actionzip54:

It shouldn't make that much of a difference if you are using some kind of volatility measure to size your positions. If you use something like X ATR's as your stop size it allows you to size up or down accordingly.

Markets move from expansion to contraction. If your looking for a powerful move one way or the other you should be excited about contracting ranges.

Yep, I use ATR as you suggest and yes, I do look at the reversion from contracting to expanding ranges. One problem is that sometimes it can stay in a narrow range.

You don't see a reversal on the daily developing?

 

[Visaria]

There's a range on the daily, the top of it is 95.70 ish. Suspect it might go there first before turning down.

 

[NoDoji]

I show the HOD at this point having touched the falling 20-day EMA.

But there is still that range high in play if the upside gains traction again.
