hello, i realise that the forex market is much more volatile at the year end compared to the rest of the year. it seems to be trading is much more dangerous around these times.

does anybody experience the same thing as me? im curious to know if i am the only one experiencing this. some of my trading signals stopped me out when it was doing well for me for several months.

I experience such thing every year, the big volatility is just starting.. maybe in the next month (also 2-3 months) we'll see some nice huge trends!
If you look the past charts it happen almost everyyear, instead during summer-time we can see the opposite, low volatility.. it's a kind of human-market cycle i guess.

I just had to stop my "low-volatility" EAs, and just continue manual-trading (i'm ausually a trend-follower), what about you?

That's good, always be careful, market sometime is very generous, and sometime is a very bad guy!
