The Average Daily Ranges have expanded increasing the intra-day swing volatility, so adjust your trading plan’s $risk management appropriately to the current conditions. This may take the form of position size reduction and/or switching to micro-contracts. Do what is right for your individual situation and do not be concerned about what others may be doing.
Of course, nothing changes for PTG…Simply follow your plan. Take only Triple A setups and manage the $risk. ALWAYS HAVE HARD STOP-LOSSES in-place on the exchange.
