Volatility Flutters Her Eyelashes…
Will You Resist?
How to Stay Disciplined When the Market Tries to Lure You In
Phew… it’s been a wild week.
As I write this on Thursday evening, the Nasdaq just closed at the lows, the Dow and S&P aren’t looking much better.
Tesla’s sitting at $263.
Any FX pair impacted by tariffs? Swinging all over the place.
It’s chaos out there.
But…
STAY COOL
Try not to get seduced by volatility.
We’ve all been guilty of it.
“Ooo, look at that move, I need to be on that momo.”
‘Ping’—Stopped out.
“Wow, that’s down a lot, I bet that bounces from here.”
‘Ding’—New lows.
The theme? Jumping into trades just because there’s movement.
We get lured in by sexy volatility, fluttering her eyelashes at us…
But gentlemen (and ladies…), that’s not the way. You must stay faithful, to your edge, your process, and your method.
Chasing everything that moves? That never ends well.
So, after a long week, with NFP ahead today, and another wild week likely on deck…
Now’s the time to double down on discipline.
No impulse trades.
No FOMO chases.
Relentless focus on risk.
Take your time. Pick your spots.
One good trade can make your week.
Be strong…
If you’re killing it in this market, good, do more, press your edge… but if you’re not, don’t force it. Stay patient, protect your capital, and live to fight another day.
