What is the best time to start trading?  This is a common question for all of us interested in making some quick profitable trades.  Not many of us have the ability to sit in front of our computer for long stretches of time just watching the charts for the perfect trade or managing a trade we have recently opened. 

The solution is volatility.  Once the big banks and the rest of the traders enter the market we can see the price starts jumping around very fast. It is at this time when the price starts moving and we can get into a trade that should give us pips quickly and in bunches.

But, how can we know this is happening unless we are glued to the computer screen?

The way to do this is to use our free Volatility Indicator.  This indicator looks at the movement of each tick of the price and counts them.  If we get say 5 ticks of movement within 1 second we know that the prices is about to move quickly in one direction or the other.  The indicator will draw an arrow underneath the bar to show you that the volatility has dramatically picked up.  Also an audio alert along with a message box will appear telling you that 5 ticks of the price have occurred within 1 second and that traders are entering the market right now.  This is also the time you want to get in!

 

Determining trade direction

 

Once the Volatility Indicator will give you and alert and also show your a red arrow on the chart showing us the price volatility has picked up we need to make a logical choice on what the direction we need to place the trade.  We can do this with the Slope Direction Indicator.  This indicator will give us the general trade direction because we would like to open our trade in the direction of the prevailing trend.  If the trend is up the indicator will show a light-blue line or if the trend is down it will show a Red line. 

 

Use this trade set up at the beginning when you see the volatility pick up for the first time in a trading session

Money Management

 

Open a 0.1 lot trade per $1000 in your account balance and try to take as many pips as possible.  This is usually good for 20-100 pips.  Look at possible areas of resistance such as a 00 price level or other basic resistance levels
