When investing in the forex market, volatility is an important issue to consider. Understanding volatility, whether low or high, provides traders with an understanding of the risks inherent in trading during a specific time period. Volatility can aid you in deciding which currencies to trade as a Forex trader. It will inform a trader about whether to buy or sell a certain currency pair or even when to not enter the markets at all.
WHAT IS VOLATILITY IN CURRENCY TRADING?
Volatility in forex trading is a measure of the frequency and extent of changes in a currency’s value. Depending on how much its value deviates from the average — volatility is a measure of standard deviation – a currency can be regarded as having high or low volatility.
Always remember that more volatility means trading risk is high, but also more opportunities for traders to place a position as the price moves in a larger scale.
Yesterday's currency performance puts the Swiss Franc (CHF) on top while NZD at the bottom. But nothing too volatile since the chart scale only plays between the +30 and -30 Levels.
