Friday's Agenda

All of the three prospects on my desk this morning continue to have extremely low implied volatility this morning, so far below my minimum requirement -- volatility at or above the 60th percentile of its most recent range -- that it's not even worth checking during the trading day.

Tradability is out of reach.

I plan no analysis today and won't open new trades.
