Volatility

The speed and range of price movement. High = big swings; low = slow grind.

Measured with ATR or standard deviation. Volatility clusters - quiet periods turn explosive then calm again. Risk-adjust position size: same % account risk requires smaller lots on a 200-pip-ATR pair than a 50-pip-ATR pair.
