Here's some advice for trading perps in volatile conditions intraday from my style atleast. Separate accounts: Different accounts, Different positions/Ideas and sizing. Going degen compounding cross margin if you're not experienced is a recipe for disaster, you'll try to wait out the volatility and blow your account. Never add/open fresh bigger positions if you've got a nice PNL running, don't run the risk of eating into your profits on a downturn. Be fine with closing profits, the best thing about volatility is it gives you opportunity again. When there's none, you're scraping to find a play. Have limits in areas you think are completely not possible to reach. 30-40-50% away. (manage risk), it only takes 1 engine breaker to get filled on a wick. If you're trading alts in good conditions, don't even look at BTC it's a waste of time and will only psyops you from trading what's Infront of you. Reclaim setups and meme lines are the easiest way to pick up a vibe shift, you can trade these with little experience and earn money.
