https://youtu.be/XRHQTNQcPtY How Index Trading Works: A Beginner's Guide to Futures Learn how index trading works in the second part of the US day trading session. Index trading lets you speculate on the performance of stock market indices (like the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, or Dow Jones) without buying individual stocks. The most common way is through futures contracts traded on exchanges like the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange). These are standardised agreements to buy or sell the index at a future date, but most traders close positions before expiration for profit/loss based on price changes. How Futures Work (Basics) Futures are derivative contracts: Long or Short: Go long (buy) if you expect the index to rise. Go short (sell) if you expect it to fall. Leverage: You don't pay the full value upfront. Deposit "margin" (a fraction, e.g., 5-10%). This amplifies gains/losses. Tick Value: Each point move has a dollar value. Profit/loss = points moved × tick value × contracts. Expiration: Contracts expire quarterly (March, June, September,...

Trading multiple time frames in forex

Trading multiple time frames in forex

https://youtu.be/M2pirBCOyu0 Trading Multiple Time Frames in Forex Trading multiple time frames in forex improves accuracy. Higher timeframes show the big picture trend. Lower timeframes reveal precise entries and exits. This alignment reduces false signals. It builds confidence in volatile markets. Why Multiple Time Frames Matter Single-timeframe trading misses context. A 5-minute chart looks bullish. But daily shows downtrend. Multiple views align direction. Volume price analysis (VPA) excels here—high volume on higher timeframe moves confirms strength. How to Use Multiple Time Frames with VPA Start with daily or 4-hour for trend bias. Look for volume support. Switch to 1-hour or 15-minute for timing. Enter on volume-confirmed pullbacks. Quantum Trend Monitor on MT5 or NinjaTrader aligns timeframes seamlessly. Currency strength adds relational context. Practical Benefits and Examples This method avoids counter-trend traps. For example, daily uptrend with volume—long on lower timeframe bounces. Reversals show divergence across frames. Anna Coulling's VPA approach uses multiple views for disciplined trading. Quantum tools make switching fast and clear. Master multiple time frames for consistent forex...

Trading lessons for day traders and a wonderful trade on gold

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/Rd07YedpVz0 Trading Lessons for Day Traders – and a Wonderful Trade on Gold Day trading is fast and demanding. Success comes from discipline, not luck. These key lessons help day traders thrive. They apply across markets—forex, indices, commodities. Volume price analysis (VPA) is central. A recent gold trade shows them in action. Lesson 1: Risk Management First Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Limit each trade to 1% of capital. Use stops always. Day trading amplifies emotions—one bad move hurts. VPA places stops intelligently—beyond high volume levels. Lesson 2: Patience for Confirmation Wait for setups. Avoid FOMO—chasing spikes often traps traders. VPA teaches this—high volume on moves confirms conviction. Low volume warns of weakness. Lesson 3: Let Winners Run, Cut Losers Fast Hold strong trades. Exit weak ones quickly. VPA helps—high volume continuation = trail stops. Divergence or low volume = exit signal. Lesson 4: Focus on Process, Not Outcome Journal trades. Review VPA signals. Learn from losses. Quantum Trend Monitor aligns direction—this builds consistency. A Wonderful Gold...

When is the next black swan event coming?

When is the next black swan event coming?

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/9ZvhNolh_BM We are about to enter a unique confluence of events, the like of which we have never seen before, or likely to see again and ones which could ultimately deliver not one black swan event but possibly two over the coming months and in this video we explain why. Whilst for day traders this is likely to present some wonderful trading opportunities, for longer term investors who perhaps have joined the rally late, the events of the next few weeks and months are likely to be painful and one only has to consider the VIX which continues to remain stubbornly high in the mid-20's and showing no signs of falling as the rally continues on weakening volumes. No one knows when the next black swan event is coming—and that's the whole point. A "black swan" (coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book The Black Swan) is an event that: Is extremely rare and unpredictable (outside normal expectations). Has massive, widespread consequences. ...
