July 23, 2018January 14, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

Scalping on NinjaTrader Using the TickSpeedometer Indicator Scalping on NinjaTrader demands speed and precision. The TickSpeedometer indicator delivers both. It measures tick velocity in real time. This reveals surges in participation. Traders spot momentum shifts instantly. Some excellent trading this morning on the NinjaTrader tick charts and using the Quantum Tickspeedometer to deliver the optimal tick chart settings for the pair. As always we use a multi chart approach and as we can see the Quantum trend monitor is red on all three charts helping to keep us in through the minor pullbacks which occur on all charts and in all markets. How TickSpeedometer Enhances Scalping The TickSpeedometer works with volume price analysis (VPA). High tick speed on up moves shows buying pressure. Low speed warns of fading momentum. Quantum's version on NinjaTrader includes customizable alerts for fast entries. Practical Tips for Scalpers Focus on high-liquidity sessions like US open. Pair with support/resistance for tight stops. Avoid low-speed traps. Anna Coulling's approach uses TickSpeedometer to filter...

Using the currency strength indicator & currency array, as US dollar sells heavily!

July 20, 2018January 18, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/y_1RtKZFI3U Using the Currency Strength Indicator & Currency Array as US Dollar Sells Heavily! The US dollar has sold heavily in recent sessions. This creates clear opportunities. The currency strength indicator and currency array reveal it early. These Quantum tools rank USD weakness. Traders spot relational shifts fast. In this video, we explain how to use the currency strength indicator and the currency array indicator together, as they reveal opportunities to sell the US dollar. The two indicators are part of the Quantum Trading currency dashboard with the currency matrix and the currency heatmap, then completing the full complement of MT5 indicators for trading forex. Here is a great example of the importance of understanding the universal market sentiment. The market is selling the US dollar across the US dollar complex, and so trading with the flow of sentiment is a lower-risk proposition. As we can see, this is clearly evident in the currency array, as is the strength of the momentum in the...

Strong buying of the GBP and EUR across the timeframes

July 17, 2018January 16, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

How Currency Focus Shifts Across Forex Sessions: London to US to Asia Forex markets run 24/5. Focus shifts between major sessions. This creates unique opportunities. London, New York, and Asia each highlight different currencies. Volume price analysis (VPA) tracks the transitions. Quantum indicators make spotting shifts reliable. One of the keys to success as a forex trader is in being able to see currency strength and weakness instantly and across the timeframes. In early trading this morning we have a classic example described by the Quantum Trading currency strength indicator across the faster timeframes. We see the strong buying of the British Pound ( the yellow line) and also the Euro ( the orange line) from the 5 minute through to the 30 minute chart. With both currencies rising so strongly and across the timeframes, it is simply a question of deciding which pair to focus on as the counter currency and trade accordingly. This set up is one we are looking for...

Volume point of control (VPOC) holds key for gold

July 16, 2018January 8, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

All traders understand the significance of price levels, and use any number of methods of trying to establish which are important and which to target not only as potential price objectives, but also try to try and establish where price is likely to stall. And what makes a price level significant is whether it is reflected across different time frames, and we have a great example from the daily and monthly charts for gold. On the daily chart we've seen some reasonable buying coming in at 1235, and perhaps even the start of a double bottom with the Camarilla marking the upside levels that need to be breached. But the monthly is looking bearish as the gold price is trying to break away from VPOC in the 1260 region, but what is significant this is also the R4 level on the daily and which is where only a break and hold here would signal the resumption of bullish sentiment. However, short term the...

The currency array and universal sentiment explained

May 1, 2018January 8, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/8Dv5ox6CQXU Once of the key concepts to understand as a forex trader is that of sentiment to a currency, and whether that sentiment is universal across the complex. In this video we explain the principles of the Quantum currency array and in particular using the yen complex. Here we can see we have diversity on the yen, with some pairs rising and some falling, so sentiment to the yen is currently mixed with both buying and selling in this time frame. However, when we move to consider the British pound which is the most bearish in the yen complex, here we can see why. The GBP is being universally sold across the complex, and as such with any trading opportunities, offers a lower risk proposition as we are trading with the market universally. In other words everyone is selling the GBP, so we are simply joining the current sentiment which is across the GBP complex and so the risk is lower. There is...

How to isolate and focus on your currency pair on MT5

May 1, 2018January 8, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/Rk4r7QMSd6Q In this video we explain how to isolate out the currency pair using the currency strength indicator, and then to add further focus to the chart by including the currency index in our trading work-space. In this example it's the GBP/JPY which is our focus, and on the currency strength indicator all the other currencies have been turned off, allowing us to see instantly and clearly where the two currencies are in their journey. This can be done easily and quickly using the toggle buttons on the indicator. Here we can see the Yen is rising strongly and the British pound is falling strongly and so developing the strongly bearish trend we see on the chart. In other words the perfect combination, where we have strength in one currency reinforced with weakness in the other. This is confirmed by the trend monitor indicator, the support and resistance indicator and of course volume. Finally to help focus further on this pair, we have added...

The three indices we often forget as forex traders!

April 17, 2018January 16, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/lYtz5YrK5ro The Three Indices We Often Forget as Forex Traders! Forex traders focus heavily on currency pairs. But intermarket analysis is key. Three indices often get overlooked. They drive risk sentiment and currency flows. Ignoring them misses big clues. These three indices complete relational analysis. Combine with Quantum indicators on MT5 or NinjaTrader for fuller context. Anna Coulling's VPA approach integrates them seamlessly. Don't forget—markets are connected! In this video we explain the importance of understanding where the three major currencies are heading, whether intraday or on a longer term basis. The three main currencies are of course the US dollar, the Japanese yen and the single currency of the euro. The Quantum Trading suite of tools and indicators delivers an index for all three. Using the tab feature in NinjaTrader 8 offers a compact and efficient way to monitor these key currencies across all timeframes whilst optimising screen space. This allows you as a forex trader to track these currencies, and from there have...

Volatility indicator detects and protects

April 11, 2018January 16, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

Volatility Indicator Detects and Protects The volatility indicator detects market movement early. It measures price swings in real time. High readings signal increased activity. Low readings show calm periods. This helps traders prepare for changes. A great example of the Quantum volatility indicator in action yesterday in the eur/aud currency pair. The indicator was triggered on unexpected comments from ECB member Nowotny - noted hawk - who suggested the ECB's current program of QE was likely to come to an end sooner rather than later. Ahead of these comments eur/aud was looking to continue its bearish tone. However, on the comments hitting the newswires sentiment in the euro changed and euro pairs soared as volatility hit the market. This indicator triggers in real time so, as traders, we know instantly something is afoot. What then generally happens is that on completion of the volatility candle, price action retraces to within the spread of the candle as the sting is taken out of the move....

How the MT5 currency matrix reveals market sentiment

April 9, 2018January 16, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/tYxQgRGHcjI How the MT5 Currency Matrix Reveals Market Sentiment The MT5 currency matrix reveals market sentiment clearly. It displays relational strength across all major pairs. A heatmap format ranks currencies visually. Strong ones appear in green. Weak ones show in red. This exposes overall mood instantly. In this video which comes towards the end of the London session and the start of the US session, we highlight how the currency matrix helps to identify the universal sentiment to the Canadian dollar. In this example, the USD dollar has been strongly bullish before reversing to bearish, and coupled with very strong buying of the Canadian dollar, which is shown on the currency strength indicator. On the currency matrix we then isolate our the Canadian dollar which confirms that sentiment across the CAD complex is universal. In other words, the CAD is being bought against all other primary currencies and as revealed on the 10 minute ranking ladder with the 20 minute timeframe starting to develop...

Using the MT5 CSI currency strength indicator for scalping

April 5, 2018January 10, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/d8pPI6vgIlM In this short video we explain the power of using the Quantum Trading currency strength indicator in multiple timeframes on the MT5 platform. And in this example we are using the MT5 platform once again which provides a much wider choice of timeframes using both the standard and custom options. Here we have the currency strength indicator applied to the 5 minute the 10 minute and the 15 minute timeframes, and focused on the EUR/CAD currency pair. Here we can see the trend is already underway and confirmed by the currency strength indicator with the euro currency falling strongly and the Canadian dollar rising just as strongly. This is where we see the strongest trends develop and the steepness of the line for each currency gives us clear and strong signals of the strength of the momentum for this pair, with strength in one and weakness in the other, providing the prefect combination for a strong trend in the pair. The trend...
