I believe this is one of those rare opportunities to make extraordinary amounts of capital on the back of worldwide buildup to increased volatility. I don't normally overcommit, but when price breaks that TL I want to bet the farm this time

The only true way to be able to compete with pro traders is to use stops where they have theirs based on monthly lows/highs (horizontal TLs) of oscillations. This is my firm belief.
You can also anticipate the stop run and either let it happen, or preferably, enter there with them.
What's your stats on that strategy? IMO that's too hard and more random than not, again IMO.
I would rather sell when bigger players sell in hope of them (the ones in the know) starting their positioning and have stop outside the noise. If wrong, then there would be another opportunity sometime.
you do realise that the apex predators don't use a stop unless you count a phone call or personal visit from the risk manager as being a form of stop.
