Sorry in advance if this sounds really stupid.
EUR/USD
I am a day trader and have been trading live since 2010, I've had quite a bit of success during 10-11 as I could catch moves one or two 40-50pip breakout moves a week and the daily trading range seemed to be around 100pips. If you look even earlier in time the rangers were even larger.
However the last 2 years especially this year I have started to struggle as there just doesn't seem to be as many opportunities for me. I have a win rate of around 40% but my risk:reward ratio is 3.1-1. However recently because of the lower PA this year I haven't been been able to maintain my R:R.
Long story short what i'm asking is do you guys think that volatility and PA will be higher again over time in the future? Or maybe its just me.
Thanks.
