The forex is extremely volatile and the heavy impact news release tends to intensify the market volatility.

You can also use the Fibonacci retracement tools to find the major retracement level for certain assets.

Find the most volatility and trend pair

The trend is your friend is a well-known proverb in the financial industry. Before the trading week start, you must know which pair is in which trend. If you find that EURUSD pair is in bullish mode (uptrend) then you should only look for buying opportunity. But finding the trend is not the end of the analysis. You also need to find a classic pair which has the highest probability to exhibit an extreme level of volatility. The experts use the fundamental news releases factors to find the market volatility. So make sure that you also learn the art of fundamental analysis or else it will be extremely hard for you to survive the wild swing and false spike. And when you place your trade, make sure that you are not risking more than 3 – 5 Percent in a single trade regardless of the quality of the trade steel.
