The markets are said to be volatile because in addition to the normal algorithmic trading that takes place you now have to consider the sometimes zealous market psychology at these times too.

If you are going to trade volatile markets then make sure you do so with a well thought out plan. You can use certain information to your advantage, such as knowing that the 24 hours prior to the NFP release there is very little trading taking place; you can trade on smaller time frames, such as 5 minutes, and do some successful trading based on this. By using an Oscillator, such as the RSI, it will help you to identify oversold areas to buy call options and undersold areas to place put options.

Once the data like the NFP has been released and the market gets volatile then you would start trading on bigger time frames with bigger expiration dates to catch the corrections as the market transitions back to normal trading.
