How do you measure volatility of a currency or pair?

I avoid trading during volatility and I use MACD indicator to measure volatility.

Hi, there are a few ways to measure the volatility of a currency pair, such as using the Average True Range (ATR) by calculating an average of price movements. A higher ATR means higher volatility, and vice versa.

Another way is to use Bollinger Bands and observe the distance between the bands. If the distance widens, that means the volatility is increasing, and vice versa.

This is a fantastic tool.
