Since Volatility is high now, I am feeling to write two simple ways (which you would be already knowing) to control your risks in volatility.
1. If we are trading in MAIN NIFTY future, in case you find your self confused with the market, then instead of taking any haste decision, take a opposite position in of equal quantity in MINI Nifty. The same can be used when you position in favor in big gap down days to take long. This will help to hold short position as you can square off your temporary longs after short covering. At least, we will have time to take proper decision.
2. For option trader, if one plays position option buy, then we can play in opposite position in intraday when we are not sure.
Like say if One held 5000 PUT over night and wants to hedge, could have bought 4900 call today and exit 4900 call after short covering.
