I didn't come here to insult anyone. Just look at the S&P 500 chart. The last 4 years have been some of the best. If you have not made money itâs not because of low volume, lack of volatility or any other excuse you can think of. Itâs because you must change your attitude and learn how to communicate properly. Because inability to communicate is indication of lack of comprehension ability.

Its very simple.
If someone is using a trade method not dependent upon volatility in the markets or not dependent upon volatility in whatever it is they're trading...things are less complicated.
In contrast, if someone is using a trade method dependent upon volatility, that trader needs to adapt (a little more complicated) via either finding a new trading instrument that has volatility or spend more time on the sidelines waiting for the typical FED/IMF/ECB actions, global crisis situations, breaking news to arise that creates volatility.
Folks have been yelling "volatility is dead", "markets are dead", "volume is dead", "day trading is dead" since the 70's whenever those patches (1 - 3 years) of record number of investors pull their money out of the markets or the number of trade opportunities for traders is decreasing.
Stay positive, relax and enjoy the extra time of not trading or adapt and trade something else if you need to always be trading because the FED, IMF, ECB, BOE, HFT, irresponsible governments, global crisis, wars (conflicts) will always be here as it always has been.
Don't get married to your trading instrument especially when trading becomes problematic.
