One thing that really helps me during volatile markets comes down to two things:


1. Smaller position sizes
2.A systematic trading process
Smaller size keeps you in the game during choppy conditions. Even if a trade doesn’t work out, you’re not giving back an entire week’s worth of gains on one position.
Having a systematic process helps remove emotion from your decisions. I always trim into strength around 20-25%, then again around 45%, 75%, and continue managing the position from there. Without a consistent system, it’s only a matter of time before emotions take over and your account pays the price.
When the market is hot, that’s when you can increase size and be more aggressive. Hold winners through key levels and let multi-day trends do its things.
Rinse and repeat.
