The Path of Least Emotional Resistance « Systematic Relative Strength
While going over my screens this weekend, I found very few quality setups. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 3-5% pullback over the next few weeks. If that happens, it could provide secondary entries for many stocks that broke out earlier this year. A small pullback would be healthy overall, and as long as it occurs on lower volume, the uptrend would still be intact…we shall see. Enjoy the video!

In Livevol's newest round of software updates, they've launched yet another groundbreaking tool for option traders. While perhaps not as revolutionary as their 3D Skew feature, the new volatility comparison charts still offer some exciting possibilities. Though there are numerous sources you can go to that offer the ability to compare historical and implied volatility for the same security, I'm not aware of any, save Livevol, who offer the ability to perform relative comparisons on the implied volatility of different securities. While it's true you could view multiple volatility charts side-by-side or one after the after the other to make relative comparisons, Livevol has taken it a step further allowing users the ability to overlay vol charts from several different securities simultaneously. Consider the following chart comparing the 30 day implied volatility of RIMM versus the SPY (click image to enlarge).

One of the trader’s biggest psychological barriers to overcome is over trading. Of course, over trading is relative depending on the type of trader you are and the time frame(s) used to make trading decisions. However, if you have a well formulated trading plan, you will know from past experience when you are walking the line between planned trading and over trading. The underlying cause of over trading is purely a lack of confidence either in yourself and/or your system. If you truly believe that your trading strategy provides X number of high probability set-ups over X number of days, then why would you waste your energy (and capital) taking high risk, low probability trades?
