The problem of volatility and short-term

Today I followed a sideways market with increasing volatility throughout the day. It was clear that it was a falling market on several levels, but the problem was volatility.

A descending triangle has not exactly formed, but it is clear that there is resistance accompanied by successive bottoms, which in theory confirms the fall.

Either way, if you look for a short stop in a volatile market, it doesn't work anymore. If you couple these entries with a gradual distribution as the commits go, with more reason, it won't work either.

Somehow I understood how the short term is not for amateurs, because the entries are much less tolerant of error. Therefore, there is no way to make additions to the positions. It's all or nothing.

Even if you knew that the market is falling, there is not enough time to delay entries. It takes the perfect entry, especially considering that, due to volatility, it is advisable not to leave the stop so short, at least not to fix the last variation in a timeframe of a few minutes.
