As you will have seen, various asset classes have been PLUNDERED amongst poor market sentiment.
As I discussed, this is an INEVITABILITY. You will not escape it and it is certainly not going away. If you were prepared BEFORE hand you will be OK. IF you were not so prepared you may be a little worried. But you can always learn and move on so that next time you are prepared.
The Markets are simply a swing of variance. What do I mean by that? Well It means you have highs, lows and everything inbetween. Your job as a Trader is to last in any times and flourish. You will deal with DD - this is NOT a problem if you are prepared beforehand. Of course this requires a plan referring to your MAX position size VS your equity. It also involves how many times you are willing to go long and where you will do so.
As you can see, if you had used SPLIT positions and DCA methods accordingly you could spread out your risk. If you do so at appropriate sizes based on the inevitable fact the market is going to swing down amongst poor sentiment, you would be able to survive it calmly with no panic at all.
So, plan your Trading BEFORE these things happen. Learn key Risk management methods as this makes up a very large part of Trading. If you do not have a plan it simply will not work.
I hope that helps. Plan AHEAD so you are not caught out.
