Re: Handling excessive volatility

you betcha!  that's what the pure capitalism of the futures markets is
all about.

volatility is the life blood of daytraders.  ask the locals and
institutions, they love it since they're some of the largest
daytraders around.

if you can't handle the volatility in the s&p's or any wild market,
then cut back on the size until such time as it calms down to your
comfort level.  or switch to another similar correlated, but less
volatile market.

if you think it's been wild the last few months, then you don't
remember oct 87.  don't expect the volatility (as expressed in avg
true range) to decrease until the market starts heading higher (take a
gander at a daily s&p chart for the last year to catch my drift).
