Volatility is only your friend if you're entry models match the price structure. Today, mine did not. The best thing you can do when you're out of sync is to cut your losses. Tomorrow is another day, and one day's losses among a good streak of winners does not mean the entry models are in doubt. Have a limit to your losses and stop-losses on your behavior. A bad day does not mean you'll have a bad week or a bad month. Stay focused.
