Forex markets are extremely volatile, especially during geopolitical events or tensions. If you are a new investor, with little knowledge of how to deal with currencies during elections or geopolitical tensions, our advice is to simply sit on the sidelines and observe. You don't have to react everytime. Practise with smaller amounts or a demo trading account. Practice with various strategies, during various geopolitical events, with varying stop-losses etc. Practice will improve your comfort with the forex markets and will help you become a better forex trader.
