Volatility is how fast and how far price moves. High-volatility markets can run hard in your favor, and just as hard against you. The skill is not avoiding them, it is respecting them.
The same move that doubles a position can also halve it. So in fast markets you trade smaller and plan your exits before you enter, not after.
Key takeaway
High volatility means bigger swings both ways. Size down and pre-plan exits.
