This week reminded me why most traders blow up in volatility spikes.

Stocks red. Gold red. FX bleeding. BTC at 66k and liquidations everywhere.

I had 3 positions that would’ve turned ugly fast,  but my stop-loss rules cut them automatically. No debate. No emotions.

After that, I reduced exposure and moved into lower-volatility yield strategies via we stay while waiting for structure to form.

The biggest edge right now isn’t prediction, it’s capital preservation.
Curious how others are adapting. Deleveraging? Sitting in cash? Hedging
