In this edition of the GoNoGo Charts show, even with earnings kicking off, trading activity this week has been remarkably quiet. Alex and Tyler review some of the key lessons shared in their StockCharts TV special “Embracing Volatility” and how we as investors can profit from volatility compression and trading in the direction of the break – whether for trend continuations or reversals.
