September 5, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/7PVIuBHuSuY In this video we take a look at the renko optimiser from Quantum Trading and a great example using the GBP/JPY. The issue for any trader when using a renko chart is knowing what brick size to select, but with the renko optimiser this is delivered automatically and for all timeframes delivering the optimal setting at any time during the session. No more guesswork! Now the renko delivers the best setting for you whatever the market whether an index, commodity, stock or currency. And in addition it works beautifully with other indicators in the Quantum range. Here we see the Trend monitor and Trends indicators working together with the renko indicator to deliver all the tools you need to succeed using a non time based chart....

Choose your currency pair with care!

September 5, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/xTPs_2Ws7aQ In this video we highlight the currency strength indicator and the currency array indicator for NinjaTrader, and the importance of understanding universal flow in the market. Here we see strong buying for the British pound and the euro which is reflected in the charts, but is sentiment for the two currencies universal across the complex, and this is where the currency array indicator steps in to help. In the ranking ladder to for the currency array we can see sentiment for the GBP is universal with strong buying in all the pairs. For the euro this is not the case and highlighting the key point, which is to choose your currency pairs with care. Trading against the universal market sentiment is fine, as long as are aware that this is indeed the case. Most forex traders are not, and so assume the market is universally bullish or bearish on the currency which is often not the case at all!!...

Using non time based charts to trade US indices at the open

September 4, 2018September 4, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/bsKIHlKcRjo In this session with Anna and David of Quantum trading, they focus here on the US markets and in particular the US indices using Quantum Trading indicators and tools for NinjaTrader. Using non time based charts is a popular approach for intraday traders, and in this session they focus on the NQ emini, the futures contract for the Nasdaq 100. The reason non time based charts are so popular is very simple, as they reveal market momentum, something you never see on a time based chart. As the market speeds up and slows down, so this is revealed graphically on the chart itself. The two charting approaches used here are using renko and tick. Quantum Trading has developed a unique variant of the standard renko indicator and called the renko optimiser, which does exactly what it says. Selecting the optimal brick size is often just a guess, but not with this indicator which delivers the correct renko brick size for all...

Fundamentals for the GBP and the NZD/USD in focus in today’s London forex session

September 4, 2018September 4, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/uqUt3dRh0Xo In this morning's forex session with Anna and David of Quantum Trading, the session starts with Anna considering some of the fundamental drivers for the British pound, and of course Brexit. Over the next few months we are likely to see increasing volatility as the negotiations reach their conclusion. Whether agreement is reached or not, one thing you can be sure of is that each statement or announcement will send the pound sharply higher or lower across the complex. The New Zealand dollar was the pair in focus on the NinjaTrader platform bringing together many of the VPA lessons on the faster timeframes, with a decisive move lower signalled across the complex on the currency array and also on the currency strength indicator. One of the key issues for all traders managing the emotional stress created when a market pauses and reverses, in other words from the primary into the secondary trend, before establishing the initial trend once more. Here we...

Great trend higher on the Euro Aussie supported by Quantum indicators

August 29, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/Z_wZivsstBw In this video we look at a great trend in the faster timeframes for the EUR/AUD and supported as always by the Quantum Trading indicators. The first of these is the tick volumes indicator which helps in the analysis of volume and price which is a key plank of technical analysis. Then we consider the trend monitor indicator which helps to keep us in through those inevitable pullbacks and reversals which occur in all trends higher or lower. The dynamic support and resistance indicator then plays its part defining those areas of stronger or weaker price levels where support and resistance are ket. Finally we touch on the pivots indicator and the volatility indicator. And all using the 20 minute chart for the MT5 platform....

Great VPA lessons on the Swiss franc

August 29, 2018August 29, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/yNvSwgRt-B4 This morning's session with Anna and David of Quantum Trading followed both the London and European open, with the Swiss franc the currency in focus and in particular for the Swiss yen. The timeframe here was the 30 minute with the longer term bullish trend picking up momentum once more with volume driving the pair higher, as shown on the annotated example. Throughout this phase of price action the trend monitor has helped to confirm the trend as the bearish trend weakened before picking up the bullish tone with a consequent rotation from bright red to bright blue. More importantly, even though the trend paused, the trend monitor with the trend line continued to flag bullish sentiment and helping to keep traders in the trend. This is one of the hardest things to do in trading as the emotional response is to close out and take any profit off the table resulting in a small profit, rather than a larger one...

August 23, 2018August 23, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/nPZJa2zqzxA A great session this morning with David and myself and we started with the EUR/AUD which has been rising strongly for the last few days, and one of the lessons from our private trading chat room where we support our forex education program members. This was an example of an annotated chart of the EUR/AUD posted in the forum in real time and explaining some of the key VPA lessons. One of the hardest things to do in trading is to stay in a trend once a position begins to develop into profit, particularly when the trend pauses and starts to pull back or reverse. This happens in all timeframes and is when the market pauses and moves into congestion. So how do we know whether this is a true change in the primary trend, or simply a move into a secondary trend before re-establishing the primary trend once more, and this is where volume price analysis steps in. This is...

Euro dollar bears in control on the fast charts and currency array

August 20, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/8CNbdPQ_fow The euro has been selling heavily in the early part of the London trading session, with the currency array indicator displaying this clearly on the 15m timeframe. The only pair lagging is the EUR/CHF, with all the other pairs neatly stacked at the bottom of the ranking ladder and now offering potential reversals from the over sold condition on the faster timeframe. The chart alongside for the EUR/USD reflects this bearish sentiment and here we have the accumulation and distribution indicator displaying the various levels of potential support and resistance. The indicator works on the price action and signals those areas where levels have been tested from above and so are likely to act as support, and those where price has been tested from below, and therefore likely to act as resistance. And of course for reversal traders this is a great time to spot those phases where a currency or currency pair is heavily overbought or oversold. Here the euro...

Trading gold today on NinjaTrader renko optimiser

August 20, 2018August 20, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/F4kybkhjcrg Even though the longer term trend for gold remains heavily bearish, there are always opportunities for intraday trading against the dominant trend, and here we are using the renko optimiser along with several other Quantum indicators. The renko optimiser delivers the optimal setting for the brick - no guesswork!!! So you are trading in tune with the market at the optimal brick size for any market and timeframe. The indicator works by using average true range to deliver the brick size, and for gold this is delivered in cents per ounce. In the video we also consider the Trend Monitor and Trend dots, two great indicators which work so well with the renko chart, helping to keep us in the trend and maximise our profits. Holding a position through a reversal or pullback is immensely difficult and this is what the two indicators working in tandem do together. One works close to the price action, whilst the other steps back and takes...
