How do you identify a volatile forex pair?

Use an ADR Scanner. If a pair has moved more than 70% of its 14-day average range before the New York session opens, it is considered highly volatile for the day.

What is the best time to trade volatility?

Volatility peaks during the London Open (08:00 GMT) and the New York Overlap (13:00 GMT). This scanner is optimized to catch liquidity spikes during these specific windows.

Why Track Daily Range (ADR)?

The Average Daily Range (ADR) tells you how many pips a currency pair normally moves in a day. This scanner compares Today's Range against that average.

If GBP/USD normally moves 100 pips, but has only moved 30 pips today, it is "coiled" and waiting for a catalyst. If it has moved 150 pips, it is "extended."

How to Read the Scanner

Percent Bar: "Today's Range vs. 14-Day Average".
Cyan Borders (Extreme): Price has exceeded 100% of its normal range. Expect a breakout continuation OR a reversal.
Green Borders (Active): Healthy movement (70-90% ADR). Ideal for trend following.
Gray Borders (Quiet): Low volatility (< 40%). Avoid trading these unless you are a scalper.

Strategy 1: The "London Breakout"

Best Time: 08:00 - 09:00 GMT (London Open).

🚀 The Setup:

Find a pair showing < 50% ADR before London opens.
Wait for a sudden spike in intensity (Bar turns Green).
Enter in the direction of the momentum. You are catching the "Expansion" phase of the day.

Strategy 2: The "ADR Reversion" Fade

Best Time: 16:00 GMT (New York Close).

🛑 The Setup:

Find a pair that has hit > 120% ADR (Cyan Border).
Statistically, pairs rarely exceed their average by this much without a pullback.
Look for reversal candles (Pinbars/Engulfing) to "Fade" the move back toward the daily average.
