What a range on the ES!!!

The results that you have come up with most likely have a very high correlation with the long pronounced decline in the VIX over the past 8 months.

Take a look at late '93 or '94.
I believe that the VIX got as low as 9.0

It would be interesting to see what the S&P futures range was back then. I do recall some super slow days during the Summer of '93, with some really dull ranges.

Be patient.

Quote from Trend Fader:

Problem is that the moves are so boring and slow..

So? You want excitement, scalp multiple contracts off delayed charts.

The daily moves are the same; they just take longer. But nobody says you have to sit in front of your computer. Set your alarms and clean the house. Cut the grass. Read a book.

Sh*t guys, adapt... sell option premium and trade into the risk. If the volty stays anemic you'll earn on your greeks. If the range expands, you'll earn on spot.

If you are bored you could re-read all the old Jack Hershy posts and try to understand what the heck he was saying.

However, none of these suggestions are going to make you money.

Neither will trading just for the sake of something to do . . .
