DislikedHi TEB63, I believe the question of whether we're in a trending or ranging market (read: volatility analysis) is absolutely vital to be very successful trading. That doesn't mean you can't be successful if you don't care about what environment we're in, but I am confident you can't be as successful without that knowledge. We know that markets move from stability (lower volatilities, ranging market) to breakouts and trends (higher volatilities, trending market) and back. These patterns will make or break whether you can max out your potential profits...Ignored
