by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/2q7Ev2V7ASQ What Is NFP and Why Is It Important? NFP stands for Non-Farm Payrolls. It's one of the most influential economic reports in global markets. Released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics on the first Friday of each month at 8:30 AM ET (13:30 GMT), it measures job creation in the US economy excluding farm workers, government employees, and a few other categories. Over the last few days the US dollar has seen some much-needed upside momentum which in turn has driven the price of gold lower. So how much longer is the is the US dollar set to rise, or for gold to fall? Key Components of the NFP Report Headline Number: Net new jobs added (or lost) last month.

USD/CHF was the one to watch!

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
The USD/CHF was the one watch in the trading session with two wonderful trading opportunities. First one to the short side and then one to the long side as the pair reversed strongly, driven initially by risk and then by stregth in the US dollar. And of course both clearly signalled on the currency strength indicator and the currency dashboard. https://youtu.be/TE9i6iUDpGQ...

The currency heatmap leads the way

The currency heatmap leads the way

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/BZ2qffQoq0w In this morning's session, one of the key indicators we focused on was the Quantum Trading currency heatmap, and the many ways it can be used, whether for longer term traders, or intraday scalping and swing trading opportunities. The currency heatmap delivers all the information in a single screen, delivering changes in sentiment from the fastest to the slowest timeframes, whilst also offering a ranking ladder of currency pairs at the extremes and therefore likely to reverse in due course. The currency heatmap is one of the four indicators on the currency dashboard, and this morning's forex trading session over delivered in every respect, as the currency strength indicator highlighted instantly those pairs offering trading opportunities, and those to avoid and leave alone. And from there, it's off to the charts, and then back to the currency matrix and the currency array to help confirm our trading decisions. The Currency Heatmap Leads the Way The currency heatmap is a trader's quick-scan superpower. It...

The volume point of control confirmed it all!

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/RETAqUrZc74 The Volume Point of Control Confirmed It All! The Volume Point of Control (VPOC) often confirms it all in trading sessions. It marks the price level with the highest traded volume. This acts as "fair value". Price gravitates here. Breaks or bounces reveal market intent. Another session for day trading the US indices where patience and more patience was required, but as always it’s volume spread analysis coupled with the Quantum Trading tools and indicators which helps to keep us safe and stop us from jumping in and then regretting this decision. The volatility indicator was once again much in evidence as indeed was the accumulation and distribution indicator for NinjaTrader, helping to define those key levels of price support and resistance which are so important. The volume point of control was also much in evidence with the primary US indices of the ES, the YM, and the NQ all rotating around key levels as price agreement was reached in the faster timeframes....
