๐ A Slow Market Is Not a Safe Market
A quick note.
The market is currently going through a phase many would describe as slow, quiet, or even boring. Low volume, unstable volatility, and little clear direction.
Yet historically, these are often the moments when people run into the most trouble.
Not because of large, aggressive moves, but because boredom leads to unnecessary risk.
Low-volume, choppy markets tend to produce false moves. Setups can look clean, only to fail without warning. This is exactly when traders start forcing entries, overtrading, or trying to โmake something happen.โ
Itโs no coincidence that many experienced traders are currently doing one simple thing:
โก๏ธ reducing position size
โก๏ธ or staying on the sidelines altogether
If you choose to trade in this environment, a few principles can help protect both capital and mindset:
โ Use lower leverage
โ Allow wider invalidation levels
โ Keep position sizes small
โ Aim for modest, realistic targets
โ Donโt trade out of boredom, learn to survive quiet periods
In the markets, surviving boring phases is often more important than performing during exciting ones.
Patience is not inaction.
Itโs a strategy.
Discipline over emotion. Always.
