Hey traders,
When I told you yesterday how fly fishing is a lot like trading, it got me thinking about my other hobby: riding my Honda Transalp motorcycle through the Colorado backcountry.
There’s something about taking my bike offroad — navigating the rugged trails, dodging obstacles, and dealing with unpredictable conditions — that’s a lot like trading in volatile markets.
When I’m out on the trail, things can change fast. One minute you’re cruising, the next, you’re dodging rocks, mud, and uneven ground.
If you’re not paying attention or don’t have a plan, that’s when things can go south fast. But when you stay focused, adapt, and roll with the punches, you find a way through — and that’s when the ride gets exciting.
It’s the same in trading. When volatility kicks in and the market gets bumpy, it’s easy to feel out of control.
You see traders panicking, pulling out of their positions, and making knee-jerk reactions. But the truth is, volatility is just part of the ride.
I don’t bail on my bike when the trail gets tough, as as I wouldn’t bail on my trades just because the market gets bumpy.
What I’ve learned from both offroading and trading is that it’s not about avoiding the rough patches — it’s about being prepared for them. You adjust your strategy, slow down when necessary, and stay focused on your ultimate destination.
When volatility hits the market, that’s when I double down on my steady, proven strategies — like selling options. I don’t have to predict every twist and turn. I just need to be confident in my approach, stay balanced, and know that the path will smooth out eventually.
So, next time the market gets rough, don’t panic. Stick to your plan, roll with the punches, and just like riding off road, you’ll find a way to navigate through the volatility and come out stronger on the other side.
Trade well,
Jack Carter
