That’s certainly true, as the flat markets are much better for a day at the golf course than active trading! After all, why press trades when the opportunities aren’t present?

Jeff,

I also do agree with your thoughts on “Good” vs. “Bad” Markets. I am also a traders and i too like to trade in volatile market. The trading opportunities really likes in volatile market where there is big swings and more of activities happening, rather than in a flat market where there is hardly anything to make a successful trade.
