Quoting Freshpips
Anyone have any idea why the market has had such low volume this year? Daily ranges on everything have been reduced, so many false breakouts and deep correctional moves, very few fluent moves/trends... Very frustrating market conditions. Any Ideas on when this may change?
I'm hoping someone can tell me too. I upload an ADR table on another thread every now and then and its horrific out there at the moment. Towards the end of last year we had the top 6 pairs (not exotics) well over 300 each. Now they sometimes barely lift above 120!?
In life you get 3 types of people, those who can count and those who can't.

Its a market stage. It does repeat consistently, protect capital, better on the sidelines instead of being chopped to death.

That's what I mean, its an extremely difficult market to trade... Its very choppy, then if your lucky you may get a 3 bar run, then more chop. Very frustrating.

I completely agree Ray, its just having the discipline to ride out the storm... Most traders will be getting burnt in these conditions, whether they admit it or not. Irrespective of strategys/systems, when the market moves like this, I think its difficult to know where it wants to go...

Edit: Nice entry you just posted Ray... Id lock as much of that in as possible.

Either you stick to it or you learn it the hardway (losing money), up to you to make up your mind. Even if volatility/range is kinda low still offers opportunities, like the run off 172.05. Important to adapt SL/TP to actual market condition/stage.

Im up +230 so far, you should have taken those 40s because you traded against the actual flow, if it can sustain above 172.70/50 next is 173.45/25

Add: Added @50ish, am going to bail this trade if it doesnt work out and wait, no special vola today and range is ok. Am done for today.

If 173.25/45 holds it can go further, you can take partials there and protect profits with remaining position, like below 172.40/20
