Volatility indicator for Forex

[ganesh6]

Is there any volatility indicator for forex markets similar to the
one VIX for S&P.

Thanks.

USDX has absolutely nothing to do with volatility.

The VIX is an *implied* volatility measure. i.e. forward-looking volatility. The closest you'll come to that for forex is to maybe look at currency futures options.

Risk rate reversals are great for medium term FX trades, l sometimes do them in a 1:500 leveraged retail account :eek:


P.S. Only trade more than 1:4 leverage on money you are prepared to lose
