NATURALGAS1! Natural Gas really showed its volatility again. My recent trades ended +16, –10, and +7 and it reminded me how unpredictable NG can be. One thing I’ve genuinely learned is the importance of always having a stoploss.If I hadn’t kept my SL yesterday, I would’ve ended up with a –20 and probably would’ve been too shaken to take today’s trade. Having that SL protected me, and it also kept me clear-headed enough to enter again without emotions getting in the way.
Even if the SL gets hit multiple times and the market goes the other way afterward, I’m starting to accept that it’s part of trading, especially with something as wild as NG. Big players move the market however they want, and the only real protection we have as retailers is sticking to our risk management.
It’s a good reminder for me to just stay disciplined and not let emotions take over.
