Changing Market Environment-Professionals Vs Mediocre traders

For the past few weeks, the trading environment had been choppy and rather "less predictable".I've heard commentaries asking ppl to stay aside first from the markets during these kind of turmoil. But to really come to think of it, if you are serious abt trading and committed to it arent these the best times to learn more abt the nature of the market when the environment changes?If you are aiming to become a professional arent we suppose to adapt and trade in different market conditions, regardless of being easy or hard? If taking easy trades is the way to success then i my opinion the trader is setting himself up for long term failure; would you rather win easy trades and has the false impression that you are gonna be successful long term or the harder trades which would gear you up for long term success?

im my opinion a trader's attitude is much more important than the tools or systems that he/she uses and this is what distinguishes the professionals and the mediocre trader.

I would really like to hear from the pros out there of how do they look at the market especially during these times.

happy trading !

i can't speak for other fulltime traders but i have found this to be a very profitable market. by booking profits early and leaving a bit on to try run i manage to make bread and butter first and then have a bit left over to try squeeze out some more if the market allows. i am not fussy with setups and just reduce my risk to accomodate if price only allows me to place my stop further away than i accept. you get lots of whipsaws but dont be affraid the setups are still the same just put risk first. im not going to boast pips or money but these are profitable times and you need to adapt to survive.
