Aren't you confusing physics with emotion? And pray tell, whatever is the "natural frequency of the market"? Whatever it is, the frequency of ups and downs recently surely must have gone way past that. I don't have data back far enough to prove it, but I think it is very unlikely that this period of percentage moves in both directions has ever been seen before.
Like I was saying several days ago: The only defense here is reduced position size. Greatly reduced, I'd say.
