Volatility has really decreased as you have noticed. Is this the first sign of the 5 point range ES days coming back? Hopefully never. Do you have any insight into those days, I think it was late 2005 or in 2006, really small Emini ranges. It is before i was watching the markets every day.mtcx2009https://www.blogger.com/profile/07221743624966596088noreply@blogger.com
