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.
FAST OPTIONS TRADING. Fast in/out. Apply trading rules like CLOCKWORK. Have a day. Sleep at night. This is my personal trading journal*.
