I have a friend who is in the foreign Currency market. He LOVES Market Volatility. He makes his decisions to buy, sell, short-sell on a computer program he first developed in 1989, and has improved it since then. He tells me that a “stable” market is very bad for him.
How did he do on the Swiss Franc the other day? I see some hedge funds are going under. Lot of people got caught with their pants down on it.
--yet every time he buys low & sells high he's reducing volatility. Not to worry, markets will have wild swings as long we have life and change ---and more so as long as traders have emotions.
