Investing in volatile times

I keep the bulk of my investments in home currency ( for me, SGD ) blue chip dividend aristocrats. The remainder 15% is used for trading in the US mkts where price swings are sharp and swift esp in growth and concept stocks. I try to scalp those experiencing rapid price action. Unfortunately because I value my sleep, I am occasionally not nimble enough and end up nursing mistimed investments. Sometimes for longer than expected. And tying up my trading funds. But that is the nature of investing. One cannot always be winning or be right. One can only hope to come out ahead in the longer term.
