Added volatility can make positioning more difficult, to say nothing of the extra trepidation that comes with wondering if something bigger is going on behind the scenes that you might be unaware of and should fear. There is seldom anything bigger going on behind the scenes that you are unaware of, although the talking heads on the financial news programs will be scurrying around the AP wire looking to justify their jobs. Just trade what's in front of you as it appears at the right edge of your video screen. And if the extra volatility stops your positions out, but the Trade Entry Model is actually just the same as it was, then the trade is just as valid re entered as it was stp'd out. Get back in the game. Stay focused on the Plan. Everything you do as a trader is in it. The Trade Plan gives the Trader the voice. There is no other to listen to. Be the Trader. Be the Trade Plan. The two are inseparable.
