$AMD swung hard today — up 7% at the open, then volatility kicked in.
I keep my stops and sizing wide enough to handle the noise. Once they're set, I leave them alone. No tweaking mid-move.
Occasionally I'll cut early if something breaks — like $GDX back in August — but that's rare. Most of the time, the stop does its job and I let the position breathe.
Volatility's part of the game. Size for it, set the line, and don't second-guess yourself when it gets choppy.
