How I Trade High-Volatility Weeks Like This One (Playbook) 🎯
This week delivered a masterclass in macro volatility: Clarity Act failed, Fed hiked for the first time since 2023, and $BTC
swung between $74,900 and $79,100. Most traders got chopped. Here's the playbook that keeps you alive in weeks like this:
1️⃣ Trade the range, not the narrative
When price is trapped between two levels, those levels ARE the trade. #BTC☀ is currently battling the $75,000 line. Long above it with confirmation, flat below it. No confirmation = no trade.
2️⃣ Cut position size in half during macro weeks
Volatility doubles → position size halves. Your risk per trade stays the same, your survival rate doubles. Risking 1–2% per trade isn't a suggestion; it's the only reason you'll still be here next year.
3️⃣ The 24-hour rule after big events
The first 24 hours after a Fed decision is emotional money moving. Wait for the second candle. The best entries come after the crowd has finished panic-selling into strength.
4️⃣ Stop loss before entry, always
If you don't know where you're wrong before you enter, you're gambling — not trading. Set invalidation first, size second, entry last.
