Which pairs to choose and how to trade them – all explained here!

November 13, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/RALighYqu0Y Choosing which currency pairs can be a tricky decision, and one each forex trader has to make for themselves, and as this is a frequent question, it's one we answer in this morning's forex session. And always there is no right or wrong answer, only what suits you, and perhaps the key here is patience. If you have the patience to wait, then reducing the number of pairs to trade can be an excellent way to become an expert in one or two, perhaps also with a preferred tactic. However, this can create problems as boredom can often be an issue as other pairs are then sought out, and very quickly all the initial discipline has gone, and the trader is then taking trades in all pairs, as before. So it's not easy. Another question frequently asked is how to use the currency dashboard and the four trading indicators it contains, and here David walks through the three-step process, with the...

Oil delivers….again, and again, and again….

November 13, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

It's often hard to find trading opportunities which just deliver, and keep delivering, but for oil this has been the case over the last few weeks, and this was no different yesterday, with the WTI futures as the price of oil fell once more, and offering straightforward, low risk, high return trading opportunities in all time frames. The primary decision trading decision here is the number of contract to trade, with the time and non time based charts providing those key insights to maximize returns. And here, it really is a case of make hay while the sun shines. These fantastic trading opportunities don't come along every day, and until OPEC moves and potentially introduces supply cuts, this bearish momentum looks set to continue, but as always it will be volume which reveals any turn points or primary reversals in due course. So enjoy the ride lower! https://youtu.be/YRj70Ia-HEo...

US mid-term elections dominate price action in all markets

November 6, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

Waiting for the US mid term elections was reflected in the markets this afternoon, and following an initial move higher, that was it for the rest of the session as all three indices rotated around the VPOC on the fast timeframe charts and lacking both direction and participation. The price action was no great surprise given the political landscape along with the FED decision due on Thursday. But as always on such days, it reminds us we have to be patient and wait for the trading opportunities to arrive and not force them, where none exist which was the case for index traders today. This general lack of momentum was also reflected in related markets with the US dollar and gold both trading in narrow ranges. The terrific price action of October, a nightmare for investors, but joyous for traders, now seems to be a dim and distant memory as we wait for the Santa Claus rally to appear on the...

Trade the pound with confidence, using renko and the currency strength indicator!

November 6, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

Another great forex trading session with David and myself this morning, with the British pound once again in focus following the London open. As always, it's the currency strength indicator which leads the way and guides us into those currencies which are either overbought or oversold and ready to reverse, or which perhaps are already in a strong trend. The early morning selling of the pound duly reversed and into a strong trend higher, driven by a positive statement over Brexit, and here the renko indicator for MT5 and NinjaTrader provides the perfect compliment to the time based charts, smoothing out the price action and helping traders either with entry or exits tactics, or helping to keep them in the trend once underway. The early selling of the pound also signaled strong buying and confirming the reversal, with the currency matrix on NinjaTrader giving a very strong signal of the universal sentiment for the pound as markets bought across the complex. You can...

Cycles explained with the currency strength indicator and volume price analysis

October 30, 2018October 30, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/wIBw-heIsts In this morning's forex trading session, David and I explained the price cycle for forex markets, and through the prism of the Quantum Trading currency strength indicator. This indicator for MT4, MT5, and NinjaTrader describes the journey every currency makes from overbought to oversold and back again and reflecting the Wyckoffian principles of primary and secondary trends, as well as explaining how markets move from accumulation to distribution and back again in all time-frames. All of this is of course underpinned by their core methodology which is volume price analysis and which is complemented with the full suite of tools and indicators from Quantum Trading. By Anna Coulling Charts from MT5 and NinjaTrader...

A terrific ES emini day for traders – which just keeps giving!

October 29, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

A terrific session today for trading US markets, and in particular the indices, with the ES, the NQ and YM leading the way. Following an early recovery, bearish sentiment picked up as the session developed with the ES E-mini index delivering some easy points using the renko indicator, the tick charts and the time based charts as a strong reversal took hold across all three. This was one of the days when trading such moves is low risk and high reward with volume price analysis leading the way and supported by the Quantum tools and indicators. Just a great session with some straightforward low risk high reward trading opportunities. So a terrific session for index traders which continued to deliver after the end of the webinar. https://youtu.be/731gk9R9nnw...

Now that’s what I call a reversal!!

October 24, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

A terrific session on the US markets as the plunge in equities during the morning, was reversed in the afternoon with an equally strong recovery, with the three sister indices all closing on the day with an extreme wick to the lower body and a close near the high of the session. A fantastic trading day and one with many VPA lessons, not least the importance of understanding the relational aspects of market behaviour of bonds and currencies all of which sent clear signals of this change in sentiment. https://youtu.be/sp76-cYO6lU...

Trading success? It’s all about anticipating what’s next using volume price analysis!

October 24, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

And once again it's the power of volume price analysis which reveals everything. Some great volume price analysis lessons once more as we move into the European session followed by London, and the signals could not be clearer supported by the Quantum Trading tools and indicators with the British pound in focus on the MT5 and NinjaTrader platforms. https://youtu.be/Ab_xg8KLIrU...

When volume really does reveal the truth behind the price action

October 16, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/aHAf6LAAgkE An excellent trading session for US indices, commodities and stocks following the extreme moves of last week and at times such as this, volume price analysis becomes ever more powerful in helping to reveal the truth behind the price action. What was interesting here was the volume associated with the wide spread down candle which was the precursor to extreme volatility which followed and which is likely to continue for the next few days as markets calm after the storm. Whilst the volume associated with the candle was high, as we explained in the session, this appears to be an anomaly and certainly when compared to volume on the following day which was extreme, and highlighted this anomaly further. So what are we to make of this, and all was explained in the session as we focused on the YM emini daily chart along with other US indices. And for intraday index traders, we picked up a great move in the...

A great forex session for the euro, Aussie and the pound!

October 16, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/cDz2mmr1l48 An excellent forex trading session with Anna and David of Quantum Trading, as Europe opens and followed by London. The focus this week was on the euro and the pound, with Anna tracking the GBP/USD as strong pound buying is counterbalanced by US dollar selling, but as always with an eye on the London open where reversals are always likely as this major centre opens for the trading day. One to watch at present is also the Swiss franc, not only for safe haven flows but also as result of the problems in Italy and the Italian banks, with many moving their cash across the border and into Switzerland as a result, so selling euros and buying the franc, so one to watch over the next few days and weeks. The euro aussie is always an interesting pair to trade through Europe and into London as the strong cross flows from the Southern Hemisphere then meld into the European currency markets....
