By: David S Adams | - Though the volatility has caused some problems of late, most days have been pretty good days to trade, if you have been willing to expand your stops to just about as wide as your risk tolerance can stand.

Without adequate time, you are subject to every retracement or rogue bar taking you out of your e-mini trade.

A Discussion Regarding Current Volatility By: IshanGoradiya | - Considering recent market fluctuations, it is important to underscore that volatility itself is defined by prolonged moves upward in the market, as well as prolonged moves downward.

High Yield Cover Calls Equal High Yields And High Volatility By: Timmybob | - High yield covered calls can turn a handsome profit for an investor who know what they are doing.
