  3. What is Panic Selling? (Why do Traders PanicSell?) Anyone who watches the markets on a daily basis has probably seen panic selling occur. Panic selling is a term used to describe the sudden and often drastic decline in the price of a security, usually over a short period of time. It can be triggered by traders that are looking to sell in haste due to a change in price momentum, but it can also be caused by an unexpected piece of news that catches the market offguard. The first stage of panic selling stock or other assets is something that causes a rapid decline in price over high volume. This typically occurs as a result of bad news, or if there is simply too much supply for the demand at that particular time. Sellers attempt to get out before anyone else does, which results in overall panic throughout the market and pushes prices evenlower.

  4. The second stage occurs when buyers and sellers attempt to control the trend on high volume, but neither side is able to do so. The stock moves back and forth between each side before eventually making a decision one way or another. If buyers win out, then the stock will typically experience some follow- through and move higher on low volume. However, if sellers win out instead, then you may see additional panic selling as people try to get out before the price goes anylower. In all, the event of panic selling is very dynamic, influenced by many direct and indirect factors. In these moments, even though many traders see significant damages to their portfolios, the smart ones find ways to still make profits. Remember, in any financial market, no matter the persisting condition, there are always opportunities. And if you know how to identify these opportunities and tap on them, you can keep your portfolio thriving… even during the instances of panicselling.

  5. How to Profit During PanicSelling Trying to predict the future of a stock can be difficult, but remaining calm and collected when panic selling occurs is key. Whether trading as a speculator or an investor, determining what is important and what isn’t will help you in the long run. Similarly, knowing your risk tolerance level is also critical to avoiding panic sellingstock. As such, here are some of the tips on how traders can make a profit during panicselling:

  6. 1. Assess The Market Thoroughly Why are people selling theirassets? What factors are influencing the market? What are the existing risks for yourportfolio? It’s essential you do thorough research of the market so as to make an informed decision yourself. Unless you know why people are panic selling, you wouldn’t know what you should do yourself in the present marketconditions. So, identify the “why” of the currentsell-off.

  7. 2. Eliminate Fundamentally Bad Assets Themarketwillinevitablyrecover.Butthatwon’texactlybethecasefor everyone or everyasset. Duringthesell-offs,manyassetsorinstrumentswillcrash;somemaynever recover while others may take a lot oftime. So, this is an ideal period to eliminate the fundamentally weaker or bad assets from your portfolio instead of carrying a “sink with the ship”mentality. Audit your portfolio; identify the assets that you need to get rid of. And get rid of them even if it means sustaining somelosses.

  8. 3. List Down The“Golds” When the supply is more than the demand, the price of the asset will slip down! This is a perfect opportunity to enter into new positions of underpricedassets. But, of course, this doesn’t mean you buy everything that is trading at a low price. The key here is to do a fundamental analysis of different assets and find “golds” in that; aka discover better opportunities with good potential in the medium and longrun. Consolidate your portfolio. Remember, even if you’re a trader, don’t compel yourself to make unnecessary trades. It’s better to take long-term positions in fundamentally strong assets than day trading in falling, weakerassets.

  9. 4. Leverage The Exhausted SellingModel The exhausted selling model is a contrarian trading strategy that identifies the point in a stock’s price history at which there has been an unusually high level of panicselling. The model is based on the hypothesis that following periods of panic selling, subsequent trading activity will be light and buyers will be scarce until the market registers their confidence in the stock by pushing its price back up to its moving average. The contrarian investor can take advantage of this phenomenon by purchasing shares near the end of a panic-selling period, when prices are especially depressed and patience is particularlyimportant.

  10. 5. Control YourEmotions When everyone in the market is selling, it’s difficult not to be a part of the FUD and sell your assets. But it is here it’s important to hold your emotions and act morerationally. For starters, keep a distance from the news that might be spreading hysteria in the market. Focus on your own goals and strategies; believe in your plan. If needed, take a break from your trading life; shut down your PC and smartphone. Avoid anything that’s triggering your fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

  11. Finalwords Asatrader,youshouldkeepyoureyesonthemarketsandlookforsignsof panic selling. It’s important to recognize a market inpanic.
