I forgot who said this here awhile ago, but they said when the markets are volatile , take smaller bites more frequently.
That’s what I’m trying to do in my trading account. I’ve been in and out of things like with really small hands. Each hand might not be that much, and I’d things come crashing down, the downside is mitigated. But doing this 20-30 times, builds a decent return. And trading commissions are now $0. So there are times if I get spooked, I’ll sell something with even when it’s just like $1 total gain. lol.
