With so many different trading styles here, I'm curious -- how do You plan on trading volatility next week?

+ short stocks/etfs
+ ES/futs
+ forex
+ options, eg buy puts?
+ cry like a girl
+ other?

me, I'll continue buying SQQQ TVIX SOXS SPXS UVXY etc both open-range breakout daytrades & swings
 
I spreadbetted the Dow short again and again all day Friday. I never short the Dow long-term and right now I'd need to see a bounce and then a higher low before getting back in long long-term. Otherwise, I'll just keep buying or selling with the intra-day trend.

Long-term I am short EUR/GBP and hoping to pyramid this next week, though shorting AUD or NZD against the GBP or JPY would have been fine.

It sounds possible the big players have over-estimated the risk from the coronavirus but even if they have, it will take all next week for them to recover their nerve and buy back to where we were, while China's economy will probably be damaged until at least 2021, with continuing bearish implications for AUD and NZD (I try to avoid trading these normally).
 
I don't think it's going too far.

The plagues of old were far along before the medical professionals knew what was in front of them. This thing is not THAT contagious and most everyone has freaked out enough to get a handle on it. Only 2% of people that get it die from it. China is pumping cash into the system starting tonight. We may drop a bit more but I'd be scared to be outright short here.

Must be nice thinking you know the market direction in advance? I’ll be squeezing your short position like toothpaste.
