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

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

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

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/uqUt3dRh0Xo Fundamentals in Focus for GBP and NZD/USD in Today's London Forex Session (January 13, 2026) The London forex session (starting around 8 AM GMT) often sets the tone for the day with high liquidity and European data influences. Today, GBP and NZD/USD are in focus amid mixed sentiment—USD weakness from ongoing Fed scrutiny, positive NZ confidence data, and anticipation of US CPI later. This is taken from the 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 this. That each statement or announcement will send the pound sharply higher or lower across the complex. The Pair In Focus The New Zealand dollar was the pair in focus on the NinjaTrader platform. This...

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/Z_wZivsstBw Great Trend Higher on the Euro Aussie Supported by Quantum Indicators The Euro Aussie (EUR/AUD) shows a great trend higher. Bullish momentum builds steadily. This cross pair reacts to euro strength and Aussie commodity flows. Traders spot sustained upmoves with clear conviction. 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. It defines 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...

Great VPA lessons on the Swiss franc

Great VPA lessons on the Swiss franc

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...

A great example of the trends and trend monitor

A great example of the trends and trend monitor

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

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/8CNbdPQ_fow Euro Dollar Bears in Control on the Fast Charts and Currency Array Euro dollar bears remain in control on the fast charts. Selling pressure dominates lower timeframes. Price pushes lower with conviction. This signals short-term weakness in EUR/USD. 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,...

US session on the NQ emini and YM emini

US session on the NQ emini and YM emini

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/PbtXoRXkidI An interesting session for the open the US markets, and one where there was some divergence between the NQ emini and the YM emini. For the former it was a case of sideways congestion with extreme volatility as the exchange opened alongside Globex. For the YM it was a case of joining the steady and even trend higher as the Dow set off to reverse yesterday's losses. Across both the time and non time based charts of the renko and the tick, this developed into a wonderful trend with the index climbing steadily and moving through the various levels of support and resistance. One of the interesting questions which came up during the session was the question of scaling in and scaling out. Every trader has to find what works for them as there is never a right way or wrong way to approach trading....

Aussie dollar and gold in focus in the London session

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/nKQ7QhwxWng Aussie Dollar and Gold in Focus in the London Session The Aussie dollar and gold take center stage in the London session. Both are commodity-linked assets. AUD reacts to risk sentiment. Gold often moves inversely to USD strength. Traders watch them for early clues. In this morning's session once again we focus on some of the key concepts of support and resistance using the accumulation and distribution indicator for NinjaTrader and the dynamic support and resistance indicator for MT4/5. The AUD/USD provides some good examples from the faster to the slower timeframes as the pair tests a strong level of support in the session on the 60 minute chart. One of the many trading concepts we also discuss is using multiple timeframes to identify levels in higher and lower timeframes. Finally we also look at support and resistance from the aspect of overbought and oversold with the currency strength indicator for NinjaTrader.
