market is a healthy whore, you just gotta know where to find her
Why is this market so dead? Have you all gone broke?

We are just waiting for the plunge, and it's here!
I made money. I just didn't make as much as I wanted.
If every day were like today, though, I'd be better off being a Chicago Public School Teacher. Guaranteed 16% raise, weak evaluations, no accountability.
I could probably let my algos run, make their low-volume piddly profits, collect the teacher's salary, and pay the kids out of my PnL to buy them off to keep quiet.
Along the way, I could show them some fancy math.
No -you're just an idiot trader who is still on ET
Some of us thrive on low volatile trending markets. For example, today was the 15th consecutive day of all time highs in the junk bond market per the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, the proxy for junk bonds. Then again, junk bonds have made all times highs 200+ trading days since early August 2009.
