Did you ever wondered how a strong panic news got digested in the first few minute itself? Why haven’t the bad news is not a bad news anymore? Once you started believing that the bad news is going to bring more panic , more emotional decisions comes into ones mindset. The more we listen to market experts, tv channels , analyst more we subject to cognitive bias and that often lead not to revise your trade decision when panic event occurs.
If you are a discretionary trading style practitioner its better not to react post to any panic events. Your Probability of winning on reacting to post such events are more likely to be a very low and vulnerable as well. Instead one should start listening to the market and wait for their trade setups to arrive. Trading the Charts and Trading the Emotions are two different thing and the latter involves faster wealth destruction.
Generally shorter term traders love fast moving markets and a fast moving markets with emotions and cognitive bias makes on to stay wrong when something different happens from a trading opinion or trade decision. Its wise to realize such traders earlier and cut down the trades faster.
Missing one good trade is still fine rather getting caught in a wrong trade and staying wrong! Once the panic is over its a better to revise trade setup otherwise you will be trading something which is often not part of your trade plan.
