# High price volatility

> Why volatile products should be synchronized more often and how to adjust the synchronization frequency.

This warning appears when some products change their price more often than they are synchronized. The price data for these products may be stale, and your strategies work with outdated competitor prices.

## Cause

The [synchronization frequency](/docs/en/guide/automation/syncs) is too low for the product's [price volatility](/docs/en/guide/insights/volatility). Between two measurements the market moves several times, so PricePirate does not capture those moves.

## Solution

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the affected products">
    In the notification, click **Fix problem** to see the products with high volatility.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Increase synchronizations">
    Increase the **Daily synchronizations** for these products in the [synchronization settings](/docs/en/guide/automation/syncs). More measurements per day keep the price data current.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Weigh the credit cost">
    Each additional synchronization uses [credits](/docs/en/guide/concepts/credits). Raise the frequency selectively for highly volatile products and keep it low for stable ones.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Prevention

Match the synchronization frequency to each product's [price volatility](/docs/en/guide/insights/volatility) instead of using the same value for all products.
