I know most people like to simply take a position and hope they get it right but I don’t like to trade like that if I think volatility is about to increase. Especially if I have a large position, I’m likely to get stopped out with the big volatile swings so I prefer to be small and nimble and ready to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. I will still have my biases, like buying USD/CHF or EUR/GBP dips, but in times of volatility I don’t have to rely on getting the direction always spot-on, I can simply wait for exhaustive stop-driven sell-offs and then put on my trades.
