Having fun? How to trade volatile markets

This is only good fun if you are making money

Bemoaned the lack of volatility and now we’ve got what you wished for?

In a fast market, the opportunities are everywhere.

DO NOT FEEL LIKE YOU ARE MISSING OUT!

The markets are up and down like a fairground rollercoaster and it’s easy to watch 50 pips swings and think you want a piece of it. Opportunity always comes along you won’t miss anything if you don’t try to catch a 50 pip swing. I’ve seen many days like this and will see many more. If you’re unsure and don’t want to be caught out then take two steps back, move onto a longer timeframe and pick the wider levels.

At this very moment in time I have absolutely no interest in playing about in the middle. It’s not really my game. What I will do is pull the charts out wider and look at the levels that may contain the moves.

I would rather be patient and play these levels with a tight 25/30 pip stop than dick around in the middle and potentially lose more. It makes for calmer trading.

This isn’t a post for those who like to scalp and are doing well or those that have been trading a long while, this is a post for those who are less experienced and are watching the prices fly around the screen and don’t have a clue what. It’s easy to get caught up in it all but it’s even easier to step back, take a breath and plan. You’ll never lose money doing nothing.

Good luck and take care.
