If you are interested in understanding more thoroughly, study high -impact economic events, such as employment reports in the US or interest rates decisions.Those are those that usually cause sudden movements in the markets.With time and practice, you will learn to anticipate these events and use them in your favor.For now, just observe them and take notes.It will be a great time investment for your learning.

Most rookie traders make the mistake of operating during those peaks without understanding what causes them.If you don't know why the market moves, you have no idea what to do when it starts to move.Dedicate time to study the economic calendar and volume patterns in the main sessions.That information will give you an advantage that few rookies have.

These movements may seem exciting, but they are also the most risky.Most rookies lose money because they don't understand how to protect themselves during moments of high volatility.If you decide to operate at that time, be sure to use a adjusted stop-loss.It is not a guarantee, but at least it will limit your losses if the market goes against you.

It seems that you are beginning to understand how market dynamics work.These volatility peaks are essential for trading, but not all are the same.Some are backed by important news, while others are simple short -term reactions.Learning to differentiate will be key to your success.
Re: Beginner question, please help
There is nothing random in the market.Each movement has a cause, even if it is not evident at the beginning.It is your work as a trader identify those causes and act accordingly.Start analyzing the news and opening schedules of the main sessions.Over time, those "surprises" you see in the market will cease to be.
