Larry’s Note: If you’ve been overwhelmed by the markets in 2026, I don’t blame you. Between the war in Iran, rising inflation, and an underperforming Magnificent 7, we’re facing more volatility than we’ve seen in years.

But hidden inside the chaos rocking the markets is an opportunity… and it’s handing traders the chance to collect hundreds or thousands of dollars each week.

I’ve mapped it out in my AI Chaos-to-Cash Calendar. And using my simple system, you can use just ONE ticker over and over again to churn out profits.

That’s why I’m holding a special event to dig into why I think this year’s turmoil – especially the shakiness of the AI trend – has the potential to turn this into one of our best years yet. We’ll go live on March 26 at 2 p.m. ET.

The Best Trading Advice in Wartime Markets

By Larry Benedict, editor, Trading With Larry Benedict

Oil rose back above $100… Inflation is on the march… and there is no clear end to the Iran war in sight.

The headlines (with plenty of speculation) have been stirring up the market since the outbreak of hostilities in the Middle East. Adding to the confusion, it’s still unclear what constitutes a win for the U.S.

Prospects of regime change remain just as distant as before the conflict. And there’s no clear path to reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

Who knows where we’ll be a month from now?

And if you’re not careful, it’s easy to get pulled into all the noise, which can really mess with your trading.

So here’s my advice for navigating these uncertain times as a trader…

"Prepare for a Bear Market of Epic Proportions"

He accurately predicted the 2020 COVID-19 crash and the brutal 2022 bear market weeks before they struck. Today, legendary analyst Marc Chaikin is sounding the alarm again, saying the next bear market could be much worse for Main Street investors than anyone is prepared for. See how to protect yourself immediately.


Focus on Trading Basics

Wartime markets can fluctuate due to headlines. That can increase the number and size of price swings, making stocks more erratic.

Traders need to factor this volatility into their trading strategies. A profitable position can quickly reverse. So the need to lock in those profits becomes even more urgent.

That can go against the grain for many traders…

When a trade is going well and is in good profit, the temptation is to ride the trade for as long as you can. You want to eke out every last bit of profit.

But right now, you may not be able to afford the risk. Longer hold times increase the likelihood of a surprising headline… and a profit turning into a loser.

Instead, focus on capturing a part of a move. In these types of markets, a win is a win. Even a small profit is better than letting a gain slip away.

This is also a good time to reduce the size of your trades.

As I’ve said, the market can reverse on a dime – and you want to protect yourself from sudden whipsaws. Likewise, bids and offers can dry up, meaning that liquidity (the ability to efficiently enter and exit the market) can become a problem. You might not get as good an entry or exit price as you’re used to.

That’s why it’s better to take lots of smaller bites at trade setups compared to sticking with your standard position size.

And managing your trades is only half the battle…

Stay Disciplined and Protect Your Capital

Right now, you need to remain patient. That means you have to let the market come to you. Wait to enter a trade until you can identify the strongest setup.

Often, the best decision is to ignore the latest headline. Once an event has already occurred, many trade setups are already gone. Chasing a missed opportunity is no way to succeed.

And that comes back to being disciplined…

Those who do best don’t feel compelled to react to every dip or spike. They stay highly selective and aren’t afraid to sit things out.

If you stay forward-looking, you can stay alert when a stock is reaching key levels, for example. That way, you’re preemptive rather than reactive.

And above all, protecting your capital is key. Without funds to trade, you’re out of the game. That means you should take losses early and, again, tightly control what you’re willing to risk on a single trade.

That way, you can ride out the chaos and will be set to capitalize when things return to normal.

Happy Trading,
