High Volatility is a big risk in Forex Market The political and economic policies around the globe can change anytime and this may greatly affect the forecast. And naturally the traders will have to suffer big losses in such condition as the market can suddenly go down anytime. Thus traders must be ready for these circumstances.
For sure, elevated volatility makes trading risk higher (sometimes even to high to trade, especially for newbie traders). At the same time, most of the best trading oppoprtunities take place during periods of high volatility, so each trader should evaluate all pros and cons and make his own independent decision on whether to make a trade or to stay outside the market (as professional traders often say, no position is a position too). To be able to make reasonable decision, trader should know how his strategy would perform in such conditions. The simplies way to define it is to backtest it on historical data. It is necessary to use relatively long period of time that would include both periods of high and low volatility to get the reliable results. There are special tools offering such possibility, like Forex Tester special backtesing software. The main advantage of backtesting in comparison to manual testing is that it allows to use wider periods of time to increase the accuracy of final testing results whiel it would take several months to make dozens of demo trades to get similar number of trades to analyse. Another important advantage is that using demo testing you can choose one particular period characterized by high volatility and use it to check several strategies from your playbook to define one that works best.
You forgot to mention that there is actually the economic calendar for that. Traders can check from time to time when there is going to be a big impart on the market that would change the market volatility. Thankfully I use Forexchief mt4 server, thier server and platform does not freeze during huge market movement, which gives me room to grab profit from it. I have made more from News trading than any other strategy.
The key is to understand how it really works and who is right to work with. I was losing funds to a broker and by the time i realised it, i had already lost $52000 which was over half of my savings. I met a friendly trader and she directed me to the recovery agent Mr Bart Kasch. He helped me recover all my money, every penny.
