How do you like trading this volatility?

All those small cap oil stocks that went nuts the last two days were acting like a bunch of meme stocks. Fortunes were made or lost either way. Whatever.

Or hard to not lose money?

Depending on your skill level and experience.

I want high volatility when I am already in a trade position. Not before. Why would anyone want to pay high prices? Low volatility is where you get better price fills and able to enter trades at fair prices.

You can fade those spikes, add liquidity. There is no obligation to trade with momentum.

High volatility is where the monies are. I am looking to exit by then.

Hello guys,

Curious how you all experience the kind of volatility we're currently having? In general, do you prefer trading (very) high volatility or calmer markets?

One could argue that higher volatility brings more opportunities and larger moves, but unless you're taking on larger risk, you'd usually have to size down as a consequence of requiring larger stops, so your pay day may or may not be bigger as a consequence.

Personally, I prefer it when the volatility and pace is a tad slower than what we're currently seeing. Makes for more predictable action and more relaxed trading.

Curious to hear your comments. I'm sure there are some who are absolutely killing it now, but quite a few are getting killed as well.

Quit using the fucking word experience you fucking ape, its just a bunch of monkies and thumbs and your prefrontal Cortex staring at flashing lights

I like it. The more movement the better...
