SELLING options seem to be the best way to trade this market. or, ST and VST trading. 

I have not seen such big INTRA DAY moves since.... maybe never before! 

 

Or better yet, sell calls and puts in this grind grind grind market.  Couldn't resist, started a long build at 3860....

 

Did you not trade in 95-1997 d, now that was a volatile time, way more than now??  This is the perfect world for selling options and will be for a very long time to come and especially right now as we are in grind mode that will likely last at least until September.  The bearish calls are insane to which helps to keep things level especially according to option prices, no real direction set.  Good news though is my stop was never hit for my long at 3825, which by the way I listed on blu's crash thread by accident but will now move my profit stop to 3850 for the cash open.  I'm likely to start doing fewer day trades as summer is here and there are things to do lol!!!

YEAH, great trading then, seemed to be more predictable than now. I have to modify my systems, allocate RISK PORTFOLIO capital differently etc
I should start by mid-September

DOLLAR DOWN

EURO up

YEN UP

 

Is that not as predictable as you can get to TRADE LONG today, or at least before the market reverses down again?

Am watching for a few minutes....

And out for an 80 point profit, wasn't that nice.  Maybe time to start looking for a short build around 3905
