What is your biggest takeaway from the Feb.-March market disturbance?

Biggest takeaway is my system works really well even in crazy times.

Weekly options was like a card game, with every cycle being a new shuffle and a new challenge and a new, very cut-n-dried, success/failure. "Ploink!" and it's done. And being a good little Zen-it & Forget-it type, last week's reward just doesn't count: only the trade in front of you.

But this trend-trading deal! SHEEESH. It's a freaking marathon. And watching it chug and chug and chug..... "even in crazy times"..... WOW. Nobody told me. I HOPE it continues. I've got four signals to watch, across two models (Enter-Long and exit; Enter-Short and exit), and even with end-of-day (or close to it) trading, I still feel like I'm nose-to-screen.

Absolutely dude, I posted this on twitter the other day (see the high-vol playbook):

Been complaining about it recently, but only because I want to drill it into my head that it's high vol vs low vol. There is always a trend, up or down because price never stays the same.

I know at one point it's going to end, but my system was designed to work in low-vol so while I will not welcome the loss of easy money, it will remain feasible to pull some money out of the market regularly if I follow my system.

Happily stolen from a qlai thread:

i learned the rino and the globalist project their own burocratic authoritarian tendencies onto foreign powers. for example personal credit agencies are all owned by american elites. this suggests the social credit score, a less powerful version, is likely dreamed up by the globalist elite.

A globalist isn't necessarily an authoritarian. Let freedom ring even across international borders! But I agree than these days the left-of-center mainstream (try living in Seattle) is elitist and wants much more control over everyone.

Discretionary or semi/fully automated?

If you thrive in high-volatility, why not gravitate to an instrument with more volatility on average when all this eventually blows over...?
