Peculiarities of stock trading during a crisis

The most useful character trait of any trader is flexibility, or the ability to change a trading strategy in time.

Markets are constantly changing, and therefore, stubbornly following a familiar trading strategy can be the cause of failure.

By mid-2022, the economic crisis had reached its peak, and many traders were wondering how to trade in this situation

If at the beginning of the market decline everything was simple – open sell trades and hold positions until the bottom is reached – now the situation is rather ambiguous.

It would seem that the price lows have already been reached and it's time to start buying, but as soon as you open a buy deal, the price starts to fall again.

Therefore, it is high time for those who are accustomed to long-term transactions to change their strategy and switch to intraday trading :

This trading option takes more time, but is the most acceptable in modern conditions.

It is not necessary to scalp and open 100 orders during the day; you can trade on an hourly time frame using a price channel trading strategy.

It will be most effective to use assets with the smallest spread, as this will allow you to quickly recoup the order opening fee and make a profit on intraday exchange rate fluctuations.

If you still want to open longer-term deals, then you should pay attention to futures :

Almost everything is currently becoming more expensive, and some so-called "commodity assets" haven't yet reacted to the market situation. Due to the events in Ukraine and the record drought, food prices will continue to rise.

To select a suitable asset for long-term purchase, it is enough to study the current price level on the charts of these futures and become familiar with the forecasts for this year's harvest.

If the price is at a low enough level and the forecasts are not encouraging, you can safely buy a contract.
