https://youtu.be/Ki9Wbj6p7oo A Classic Trap Move on the GBP/AUD on the 10 Minute Chart – Hard to Miss This One!! GBP/AUD delivered a classic trap move on the 10-minute chart. Price spiked sharply. Traders chased the breakout. But it was a fakeout. Volume price analysis (VPA) made it hard to miss. There are always traps being laid for the unwary trader, but for students of the volume price methodology these are always very easy to see, and in the London forex session we highlight one on the GBP/AUD on the 10-minute chart which was hard to miss!!A classic trap move on low volume with a nice wide spread up candle....then congestion and the reversal follow. Price action traders would have followed this one higher. Volume price analysis traders would have closed out, and then joined any reversal lower. Spotting the Trap with VPA The spike looked bullish at first. Price broke resistance fast. Many bought the move. But volume was low—no conviction. This screamed trap. Quantum...

One of the most powerful ways to stay in the trend

One of the most powerful ways to stay in the trend

https://youtu.be/vqK2sSiHczk One of the Most Powerful Ways to Stay in the Trend Using Volume Price Analysis Staying in a trend is one of the hardest parts of trading. Many exit too early on pullbacks. Volume price analysis (VPA) solves this. It confirms trend strength. High volume on trend-direction candles shows conviction. This lets you ride moves longer. The problem for most traders is holding a position once the trend is underway. And not to be bounced out in the inevitable round of pullbacks and minor reversals which occur in all timeframes. No trend ever moves smoothly higher or lower without pausing and reversing against you. This is when emotion kicks in, and a decision is taken to close the position at a small profit. The problem is that most traders have several small losses but also few small profits. So the trading account fails to move forward. To achieve this, profitable trends need to be maximised. This is where volume price analysis steps in...

VPA cuts through noise. It combines price action with trading volume. This reveals true market intent in crude futures.

https://youtu.be/Gld3oDhvmd8 Trading Volatility at the Start of the US Session Trading volatility at the start of the US session offers exciting opportunities. The overlap with New York brings high liquidity. Price moves accelerate. This creates sharp trends or reversals. Traders who prepare can capitalize. At the start of the US trading session two things happen at the same time. First comes the surge in volume as the cash markets open alongside Globex and second this is always accompanied with volatility. Here we explain how to trade volatility at these times.

Watch out for changes in sentiment at the session crossovers

Watch out for changes in sentiment at the session crossovers

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
In this video we explain the importance of session crossovers, what they are and why they occur, but more importantly what to look out for at these times as a forex trader. Whilst the forex market is often presented as a twenty-four hour market which technically it is, the times at which a major trading centre joins or takes over from one which closes, effectively breaks these up into four hour or eight hour periods of trading. At such times, the market makers are active and what we often see as here in this example, is a strong trend in one session then weakens or reverses and in this case is it the GBP/AUD which had a fantastic trend higher during the London session, only to reverse in the US session later. https://youtu.be/8mRH8f2bvjg...

Learn how to identify the best trading forex trading opportunities using the Quantum Trading currency tools and indicators and applying the volume price analysis methodology. The currency dashboard is key to this approach, starting with the currency strength indicator which reveals when currencies are moving strongly higher or lower, or reaching oversold or overbought regions. Then the currency matrix and the currency array step in to reveal the same principles but in terms of the currency pairs themselves. Multiple timeframes also play a key part whether used on the indicators themselves or the charts and this is an interative process moving from one to another to select the best opportunity in your chosen timeframe. https://youtu.be/S0m3OiUuw9c...

https://youtu.be/TQ9j65GxF4o Scalping the Markets Using Second Charts on the NinjaTrader Platform Scalping the markets demands speed and precision. Second charts on NinjaTrader deliver this. They group price by seconds (e.g., 15-second or 30-second). This captures rapid moves in high-liquidity sessions. Traders spot short-term momentum quickly. In this video from the US day trading session we show you how to trade markets in a narrow range using the 15 seconds chart. This is one timeframe which is available on the NinjaTrader platform as well as for Tradestation.

https://youtu.be/gBfU6KPmN6I Day Trading Using Volume Price Analysis Day trading demands precision and discipline. Volume price analysis (VPA) provides both. It combines price action with trading volume. This reveals true market intent. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of weakness or traps. Trading using volume reveals the truth behind the price action whatever the instrument or timeframe. It is a universal approach that embraces every tactic and here we apply the methodology in live markets and focusing on the YM emini futures contract. Price is only half the story and it is volume which paints the complete picture revealing as it does when the market makers and insiders are buying or selling, or indeed when they are sitting in the sidelines and simply moving price Core VPA Principles for Day Traders Focus on intraday charts. Look for widening candles with rising volume—sign of strength. Narrow candles on low volume signal indecision. Divergence between price and volume spots reversals early.
