Trading the Corona era

I've been treading water. This market has been frustrating for me.

I have tried various techniques for trading all this volatility and news:

Giving plenty of room. I took some big losses. No real big winners.

Using stop/limit orders. Recipe for big losses.

Taking big positions to get big moves. I trade too scared.

The spreads are so wide, I don't want to use stop/market orders.

The antidote for ALL of these is smaller position size, patient timing, tight stops.
