Features of stock trading during a crisis

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

Markets are constantly changing and therefore failure can be caused by persistent adherence to the usual trading strategy.

By mid-2022, the economic crisis had reached its apogee and many traders had a question: how to trade in this situation?

If at the beginning of the falling markets everything was simple, open sell trades and hold positions until the bottom is reached, now the situation is quite ambiguous.

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

Therefore, it’s time to change the strategy for those who are accustomed to long-term transactions and switch to intraday trading :

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

At the same time, it is not necessary to engage in scalping and open 100 orders during the day; you can trade on an hourly time frame using a trading strategy in the price channel.

It will be most effective to use assets with the smallest spread, as this will allow you to quickly compensate for the fee for opening an order and make a profit on intraday fluctuations in rates.

If you still want to take longer-term trades, then you should pay attention to futures :

Now almost everything is becoming more expensive, and some of the so-called “commodity assets” have not yet had time to react to the market situation. Due to events in Ukraine and a 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 get acquainted with the forecasts for this year’s harvest.

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