US mid-term elections dominate price action in all markets

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/bXAhkmy3Yzg US Mid-Term Elections Dominate Price Action in All Markets US mid-term elections are dominating price action across all markets. Uncertainty creates volatility. Equities, forex, and commodities react. Traders watch for sentiment shifts. This event paused many trends. Congestion appeared as results unfolded. 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 lacked 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...

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

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

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...

Indices fell sharply. This created easy short opportunities. Traders capitalized using Renko and tick/time charts. The combination revealed downside momentum perfectly. A terrific session today for trading US markets, particularly the indices, with the ES, 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.

Now that’s what I call a reversal!!

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
Now That’s What I Call a Reversal!! Reversals can be dramatic in trading. This one stood out clearly. Price shifted sharply after exhaustion. Volume price analysis (VPA) spotted the turn early. It's a textbook example of market change. 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 Key VPA Signals in the Reversal Volume price analysis revealed classic signs. High volume at the extreme showed distribution. Stopping volume appeared as buyers stepped in. Divergence between price and volume confirmed weakness in the old...

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

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/Ab_xg8KLIrU Trading Success? It’s All About Anticipating What’s Next Using Volume Price Analysis! Trading success comes from anticipating the next move. Many traders react too late. Volume price analysis (VPA) changes this. It reads volume alongside price. This reveals market intent early. You stay ahead of the crowd. 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. How VPA Helps Anticipate Moves VPA spots accumulation before breakouts. High volume at lows signals buying. Distribution at highs warns of selling. Divergence between price and volume predicts reversals. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or MT5 highlight these signals fast—Trend Monitor for direction, Accumulation/Distribution for phases. Practical Benefits for Traders Anticipating beats reacting. Enter trends early on volume confirmation. Avoid traps with low-volume spikes. Anna Coulling's VPA methodology teaches this foresight. Quantum tools make it...

When volume really does reveal the truth behind the price action

When volume really does reveal the truth behind the price action

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/aHAf6LAAgkE When Volume Really Does Reveal the Truth Behind the Price Action Price action can deceive traders. It looks strong or weak. But volume tells the real story. Volume price analysis (VPA) combines both. This uncovers true market intent. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of traps. Classic VPA Signals That Reveal Truth High volume on up candles confirms buying pressure. Price rises with conviction. Low volume on rallies signals weakness. Sellers absorb buying. This often leads to reversals. Divergence appears when price makes new highs on falling volume. Distribution is underway. 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...

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/cDz2mmr1l48 A Great Forex Session for the Euro, Aussie and the Pound! A great forex session unfolded for the euro, Aussie, and pound. These currencies showed strong moves. Buying pressure dominated. Traders spotted high-probability opportunities in EUR, AUD, and GBP pairs. 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...

Spoilt for choice in the fx session – which pair to choose!!

Spoilt for choice in the fx session – which pair to choose!!

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
A great forex session and one where we were truly spoiled for choice, with the US dollar leading the way as safe haven flows saw the currency of first reserve rise strongly as European markets opened. This was countered with equally strong selling in several different currencies including the Australian dollar, the euro and the pound and clearly signaled on the currency strength indicator. The move in the euro was triggered as a result of problems once more in the Italian banking system, an issue which like Greece, has never been resolved, and which is now rising once again to the surface. But in this session we focused on one of these, the Aussie dollar which delivered a wonderful trend lower, and confirmed with all the associated indicators of the currency heatmap, the currency array and the currency matrix, with safe haven flows driving the US dollar, and equally strong bearish flows driving the Aussie, and combining in wonderful trading opportunity to...
