[16:02] <+szubaark> im small down for day after being up nicely (chop areas got me) have to make sure i dont Force any trades trying to go plus for day
[16:03] <@NihabaAshi> szu...market has been a lot more tradable since mid-week last week in comparison to all of this year.
[16:04] <@NihabaAshi> Could be a sign that some sideline folks are returning to the markets.
[16:04] <+szubaark> "sideline"?
[16:05] <@NihabaAshi> Yeah...many institutionals, hedge funds et cetera pulled lots of money out of the markets.
[16:06] <@NihabaAshi> They started doing that just before last years presidential elections.
[16:07] <@NihabaAshi> If the markets can hold current levels (no steep declines) and not look like it's going to retest March lows...
[16:08] <@NihabaAshi> Could bring in some more money which often equates to better volatility for trading.
[16:09] <@NihabaAshi> If better volatility returns...
[16:10] <@NihabaAshi> I'll start increasing my position size back to normal and take less trades.
[16:45] <@NihabaAshi> Take care all and see all tomorrow
