Forex Market Analysis and Forex Tools for Trading

A very busy day for news and risk events that started in the Asian Pac session with an interest rate decision from New Zealand's central bank, the RBNZ, and which ended with the release of the FOMC minutes. David & I cover how we can approach such days when volatility will be high and likely to be exacerbated by the summer's lack of liquidity. We also consider the Currency Heatmap in detail and how we can use the indicator for both intraday and longer-term trading.  David also explains the unique features of Tradingview Heatmap that allow traders to configure their own timeframes. https://youtu.be/7HeHoUriok8  ...

Trend monitor & volume price analysis to stay in a trade

Trend monitor & volume price analysis to stay in a trade

Along with several volume price lessons on the 5 min chart for the YM E-mini, the futures contract for the Dow Jones, David explains how traders can benefit from trading this contract outside the heavily volatile US session. By looking at a faster chart we can see the activity increase at session crossovers such as the London open and by applying vpa & using the Quantum indicators, take advantage of some steady, measured price action. And using the principles of volume price analysis and the trend monitor will also help to keep us in a trade. https://youtu.be/KbMVv_dgwtM    ...

No clear direction for #Tesla. Will upcoming Q2 earnings provide the catalyst?

No clear direction for #Tesla. Will upcoming Q2 earnings provide the catalyst?

A look at the weekly Tesla chart where the price action has been moving sideways for some time creating a strong channel of price action which has been defined by the accumulation & distribution indicator. In doing so we now have the key levels that must be breached before a clear direction of the trend is established and any successful trend has to be accompanied by strong volume. Finally, Q2 earnings are due on 20th July which may provide the catalyst for the breakaway from the current consolidation. https://youtu.be/TpVA2otYFsY By Anna Coulling You can buy Anna's Volume Price Analysis Book at Amazon https://amzn.to/3nGD1v8 Discover Anna's forex analysis at her Facebook page https://bit.ly/3Lp4URS Indicators available from Quantumtrading http://bit.ly/2MAjR8w Learn about our Forex Program and Funded Program at www.quantumtradingeducation.com  ...

Stock analysis using the volume point of control & accumulation & distribution indicators

Stock analysis using the volume point of control & accumulation & distribution indicators

In this video, David & I cover using the Quantumtrading support & resistance indicators for stocks such as Fate Therapeutics, Apple & Tesla. The indicators in question are the volume point of control which marks out key levels in terms of volume and the price-based accumulation and distribution indicator. This indicator is unique in that once the indicator marks a level it will thicken each time that level is tested and holds. What this does for the trader and investor is give a clear visual picture of the relative strength of any significant level. And when the accumulation & distribution combines with the volume point of control we know the level is of supreme importance as we can see on the monthly chart for FATE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEQL_K1gCnQ Charts courtesy of Ninjatrader.

The volume point of control on the XLE back in focus

The volume point of control on the XLE back in focus

An update on the monthly chart for the XLE energy EFT as the sector appears to fall out of favor with the monthly chart looking to post a bearish engulfing candle. However, we were already aware the price action in the XLE was likely to come to a pause and probable reversal with the failure to take out the volume band of the volume point of control (vpoc). As one of our most powerful indicators, the vpoc not only gives us the structure of the chart in terms of whether the price action is in trend or congestion but also gives us key volume-based support & resistance levels and zones.  In addition, last month's candle also triggered our volatility indicator so a retrace into the spread of the candle was highly likely, particularly when accompanied by low volume. The vpoc itself (yellow hatched line) marks the area on the chart which could be described as being 'fair value' where traders...

Forex market moves ahead of the FOMC

Forex market moves ahead of the FOMC

In this video David & I explain how the CME Fed Watch Tool's probability that the FED would raise the FED Fund rate to 150-175 led to the latest market meltdown. We also looked at how using the Camarilla pivots in multiple time frames can help to determine our price objective. https://youtu.be/CnFQezWG4zU    ...

QQQ pauses ahead of this week’s CPI releases

QQQ pauses ahead of this week’s CPI releases

The accumulation & distribution indicator combined with the volume point of control highlight perfectly what is likely to happen on the QQQ which is the ETF for the Nasdaq 100 and one of the most liquid instruments in the market with an average daily volume of over 75m so plenty of liquidity. However, given the price action looks to be congesting in the accumulation & distribution channel shown on the weekly chart it's no surprise that volumes are about half the usual average. However, this is normal as volume always falls whenever a chart is in congestion/consolidation. The reason for this new phase of price action is in many ways not surprising given the recent volatility as the index (and markets take a breather) but we can expect volatility to pick up towards the end of the week with the CPI releases and next week, of course, we have the FOMC which is when the FED is expected to raise...

Video Analysis of PLUG Power

Video Analysis of PLUG Power

My video analysis of PLUG Power a major player in green hydrogen. The company has been around since 1999 and has a very interesting backstory. More recently it was the subject of a dramatic 'pump & dump' with the stock rising to an ATH of $76 before falling back to $12. A recent large order for an electrolyzer has seen the stock on the move. However, traders and investors who use volume price analysis will have seen the buying come before this positive news was announced, one reason PLUG is our vpa chart of the week. https://youtu.be/livYI30ow-4 By Anna Coulling Charts courtesy of Ninjatrader  ...

Understanding how to use the volume point of control

Understanding how to use the volume point of control

The recent price action on PLUG Power is a great example of how the volume point of control along with volume can help to validate a breakaway trade. On this occasion, it resulted in a nice waterfall lower. We now have a nice reversal on the chart with upside levels clearly marked by the Camarilla indicator as Plug attempts to regain the vpoc.
