Another excellent session as the US markets get underway with risk on returning with the primary indices all climbing and driven by a currency pact between the US and China. Focus on the session was on the YM emini, with the Yen index falling strongly and reflecting this sentiment. The yen was sold strongly on the currency strength indicator, the Yen index, and on the currency future of the 6J JPY/USD all reinforcing the picture and offering a low risk trading opportunity.

Step 1: Start with the Currency Strength Indicator
In the London forex session we explain how to apply some of the currency trading tools and indicators for MT5 and Ninjatrader on time based charts, before moving to the renko indicator with the trend monitor and trends indicators.
The currency in focus was the euro across the complex with strong moves for the pound and the US dollar.
The Currency Strength Indicator ranks major currencies live. Strong ones rise to the top. Weak fall to the bottom. Extremes highlight opportunities:
Top currency vs bottom = strong trend potential.
Sustained extremes = momentum trade.
Fading extremes = reversal setup.
This is your starting point—scan for relational leaders fast.
Step 2: Confirm with the Currency Matrix and Heatmap
The Matrix grids all pairs. It shows cross-pair bias. Bold colors flag momentum. The Heatmap adds intensity—deep green/red cells signal active pairs.
Look for alignment:
Strong currency in CSI = green cells in matrix row.
This relational confluence identifies high-conviction trades.

Here's how to trade the emini index futures using the Quantum Trading tools and indicators on time based charts. The trend monitor is key and used across multiple timeframes as is the trend line indicator, with the volatility indicator revealing.......volatility! The trend monitor looks back over a longer period and therefore smooths out many of the smaller pullback and minor reversals, while the Trends indicator works very cloe to the market and so these are seen. This is why the two indicators for trend trading work so well together.

Once again it is the power of the volatility indicator which is revealed as the forex markets exploded into life ahead of the London open, with the Japanese Yen and the Swiss Franc selling off sharply, with equally strong buying of the commodity currencies. With the volatility indicator signalling a move outside the average true range, and with indices also spiking them reversing, a strong reversal then took place as expected.

When Not to Trade
Knowing when not to trade is as important as knowing when to enter. Many traders lose money chasing every setup. Discipline means sitting on your hands sometimes. This protects capital and improves long-term results.
The currency strength indicator is the starting point for any trading day, and you might ask why. The reason is very simple. Because it breaks this complex market of currency and counter currency down into the building blocks. In other words, the individual currencies themselves give you a clear and visual picture of which are moving and which are not. From this, you can then build your own currency pairs into those that are likely to be trending strongly, where one currency is rising and another falling.
In addition, and just as important, the indicator also shows you which currency pairs to avoid for the time being. So it maximises your trading time, and delivers the strongly trending pairs we all need!
Key Times to Stay...
Trend trading with volume price analysis (VPA) offers traders a powerful edge by confirming the strength and sustainability of market moves. Unlike traditional methods that rely solely on price action, VPA incorporates trading volume to validate trends: rising prices accompanied by increasing volume signal genuine buying conviction and a likely continuation, while declining volume on upmoves warns of potential weakness or reversal. This approach, popularized by Anna Coulling, helps traders stay in winning trends longer and avoid false breakouts.
Quantum Trading indicators enhance VPA by providing clear visual signals of accumulation, distribution, and trend monitor support across platforms like NinjaTrader, MT4/MT5, and TradingView. By focusing on volume confirmation, trend traders can ride sustained moves with greater confidence, reducing emotional decisions and improving risk management.
