I typically scale in and out of my silver positions to manage risk. For example, if I anticipate a move to 90.00, I'll enter a small position now around 88.70, add more at 89.20 if it breaks resistance, and then scale out partially at 89.80 to secure profits. This allows me to capitalize on the trend while minimizing potential losses if the price reverses. Requires patience though, not for quick gains.

Oh and another thing, the bollinger bands are widening on the H4 chart, which often indicates increased volatility and a potential continuation of the current trend. I'll adjust stop losses accordingly.

@HadizaBello I like your scaling strategy. I'm still pretty new to futures, so I'm trying to learn more about risk management. Scaling in and out seems like a smart way to do it. I'm curious, what indicators do you use besides Bollinger Bands to confirm your entries and exits? I'm trying to get better at identifying potential breakouts and reversals, but sometimes I feel like I'm just guessing. Any tips for a beginner like me? Thanks!
@HadizaBello Your scaling strategy sounds really smart, especially for managing risk in these volatile markets. I've been trying to implement something similar myself but sometimes get caught out. The widening Bollinger bands on H4 you mentioned definitely caught my eye too, signaling a big move is brewing. I'm wondering, do you also look at volume spikes in conjunction with the bands, or is RSI divergence a bigger factor for you when deciding to add to a position? With the Fed decision looming and the ongoing geopolitical stuff from the news affecting precious metals, I'm feeling a bit anxious about my current XAGUSD position and trying to figure out the best way to adjust my stops without getting stopped out prematurely. It's a fine line to walk.
@HadizaBello I like your approach to scaling in and out of XAGUSD. It makes a lot of sense for managing risk, especially with how volatile silver has been lately, like after that Fed news.
