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

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...?

Systematic but I don't always take every trade. I know, bad boy.

This type of volatility I like because no one knows what price should be when the dust settles as opposed to bitcoin volatility which has no value.though if you have some suggestions I'd gladly listen.

Suggestion for an instrument?

Not really.

But I've been considering adding something which is more volatile on average to my own list of instruments. Currently focused on ES and while it's on steroids now, it can be dull normally. Maybe crude oil. Or the DAX.

I've added crude oil and Bitcoin to the stuff I trade, I watch a bunch of commodities like LE, HE, etc but haven't yet dipped my toe in that water...

Shows how quick someones retirement can be completely wiped out in 30 days.

I was thinking about this too.

Anyway - are there not any rules or guidelines for when to liquidate your pension? Is the normal way to just stay invested and withdraw regularly or is the entire amount liquidated to cash at once?

Regardless, if you're closing in on retirement, it would make sense to liquidate your holdings say 5 years prior to your actual retirement in the event that the market may collapse or just correct just before your actual retirement.

Waiting to cash out at your exact retirement seems like a big gamble.
