With every potential trade, we need to look at the current volatility. What many traders don’t stop to think about is that all volatility is not equal.

We can break volatility down by each day of the week. Why would we want to do that? Because each day of the week has different volatility. Monday doesn’t work like Friday, Tuesdays can look very different than Wednesdays, and Thursdays can have their own volatility. Many traders will average every day of the week together. There are better ways to measure what the markets do on a given day.
