Today’s global pandemic has caused unprecedented stress on markets across the world. We’ve seen low volatility prevail for quite some time. As the virus reached crisis level, volatility spiked like never seen before. Consequently, active trading has re-emerged as traders dust off the playbooks of their active past to survive today's quick up- and down-market movements.
Volatility can wreak havoc to the markets and cause lasting ripple effects on how traders trade. Most recently, the markets saw volatility reach extremely high levels over only a very short period. Incrementally more damage is done to the markets as volatility escalated at a velocity never seen before; until our most recent market events.
