As you may understand, if the market is not moving, holding your capital in it make little sense. Volatility of Forex market is great, you can regularly expect to see a price move for around 50-100 pips on one of the major pairs on almost any day of the week . This means a potential loss or gain of 500 USD - 1000 USD if one lot (or 100,000 currency units) are traded and the quoted currency is USD. Traders always look for volatile markets and volatile instruments, this is why volatility is one of the main benefits of the Forex market.
