A case study of market panics

It doesn't matter how much you can make if a single mistake is too costly to bear. Big breaks in the market aren't the only way traders can lose money, but we begin here in the series because most people associate losses with market panics. It doesn't have to be that way.

There are a number of conditions people can find themselves during market panics & where you end up has a lot to do with the thought process that got you there.

At this point in the series, we want to start with the understanding that markets are a zero sum game. There is almost always some sort of opportunity that exists, whether we are looking at bull or bear markets, market bubbles or panics.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and options trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
