  •  Try adjusting the Tick Alert input for the Volatility Indicator according to your brokers speed. Some brokers are faster then others and you will see more or less alerts according to each specific broker so test this for a few days to see how the indicator is responding,

 

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
