When I asked a recent live room who actually likes volatility, almost nobody raised their hand. That reaction told me a lot — not about the market, but about the people trading it.
Because the truth is, your reaction to volatility says more about your approach than anything else.
If you’re afraid of volatility, it means you’re trying to trade short-term moves with no real edge. You want the market to behave — to give you a nice, slow trend you can ride.
But that’s not how this game works. The market doesn’t care about your comfort zone.
Volatility Is a Mirror for Your Strategy
When traders are wary of big moves, it’s usually because their strategy isn’t built to handle it. They’re either in too tight with stop losses or profit targets, leaving no room for the trade to move, sizing too big, or trying to guess direction without a framework.
Volatility doesn’t mean risk — it means opportunity, if you’re prepared. If you’re focused on proper levels, support and resistance, and clear setups, then volatility becomes your ally.
You get better reward-to-risk and more favorable entries. But if you’re just randomly reacting, every spike feels like a threat.
You Either Adapt or You Blow Up
This isn’t just about mindset — it’s about survival. Traders who don’t learn to work with volatility either get chopped up or frozen with indecision. They don’t trust their system, and when the market moves fast, they get run over.
The solution? Get comfortable with volatility by zooming out, tightening your levels, and focusing on clean, technical setups. The more you respect the volatility, the more it works for you — not against you.
So next time the market starts swinging, don’t panic. Ask yourself what that fear is trying to tell you — and fix the real problem.

But there’s a way to do even better than just buy-and-hold.
That’s because this indicator is SUPER bullish for a subset of stocks.
That’s why I put together a special presentation to show you how to take advantage of the ZBT.
Naturally, I can’t promise future returns or against losses, but…
