It's been a couple of days where markets have been focused on the Fed and J Powell's comments which helped to create the shakeout in US equities, a terrific day for the market makers who duly cleaned up and bought as panic set in. So where next? Well if you understand volume price analysis it's very clear.

You know how it goes. The stock is rising nicely and then crash, it falls sharply and develops a price waterfall as it descends to a level never seen before. And then it appears to languish at this level with no hope of recovery. But slowly it does and soon breaks higher developing a bullish trend. The consolidation phase is the accumulation phase where the market makers are doing just that and preparing for the next major campaign for the stock, and hence the reason these price patterns can be so profitable as you are buying a stock at a low price along with the market makers.

How Do You Decide Whether to Take a Trade? Use the Chart and the Indicators
Deciding whether to take a trade is a key skill. Emotions often cloud judgment. The answer is simple: use the chart and the indicators. They provide objective signals. This removes guesswork and builds discipline. Use the chart and the indicators as explained on the NinjaTrader platform and the AUD/USD on 15 minutes.
Step 1: Read the Chart with Volume Price Analysis
Start with the chart. Volume price analysis (VPA) is essential. Look for price action supported by volume. High volume on up candles shows buying conviction. Low volume warns of weakness. Anna Coulling's methodology focuses on this truth behind price.
Step 2: Confirm with Indicators
Use indicators for confirmation. Quantum Trading tools like Trend Monitor or Currency Strength validate signals. Avoid trades without alignment. Multiple timeframes add context—daily for trend, lower for entry.
Practical Decision Framework
Ask: Does volume confirm price? Do indicators agree? Is risk managed? If yes, take the trade....

Using the Currency Strength Indicator to Identify Forex Trading Reversal Opportunities
As we approach the year-end, for forex traders this represents a great time of year with plenty of volatility as volume falls in the run up to the holiday season. But this delivers plenty of excellent trading opportunities and the starting point as always is the currency strength indicator which helps to identify when a currency is overbought to oversold and hence guides you to the opportunities immediately.
From there, it's off to the charts, and check out the volume associated with any moves as you look for primary to primary trend reversals.
The CSI Is A Key Indicator
The currency strength indicator is a key tool for spotting forex reversals. It ranks currencies by relative performance. Extreme readings often signal overbought or oversold conditions. This highlights potential turning points before price fully reacts.
Combining with Volume Price Analysis
Volume price analysis (VPA) strengthens reversal signals from the indicator. Look for divergence: a currency at...

Trading Currency Futures and Stocks Using Volume Price Analysis
Volume Price Analysis (VPA) is a versatile methodology. It works across markets. Currency futures and stocks offer unique opportunities. Both have reliable volume data. This reveals professional intent clearly. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of weakness or traps.
Currency Futures: Precise Relational Trading
Currency futures (e.g., 6E euro, 6J yen, 6B pound) trade on CME. Centralized volume makes VPA reliable. Relational dynamics shine—no spot forex noise.
VPA signals:
High volume rallies = trend conviction.
Low volume extremes = reversals.
Divergence warns early.
Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader enhance this. Currency strength ranks futures live. Trend Monitor aligns direction.
Stocks: Individual or Index Exposure
Stocks range from blue-chips to volatile growth names. VPA spots accumulation in winners. Distribution in fading ones.
Signals:
High volume breakouts = momentum.
Low volume highs = short opportunities.
Volume support at lows = long entries.
Trade individual stocks or index ETFs (SPY, QQQ). VPA applies identically.
Why VPA Excels in Both
Centralized volume (futures) or...
In this video we explain one of the key planks of technical analysis and also volume price analysis which is support and resistance. But support and resistance using both volume and price. We are all familiar with using price-based support and resistance but using volume is equally powerful and when used together give a complete picture.

The Renko optimizer for NinjaTrader is a powerful indicator for day traders across all markets when used as a single chart. However, when using three in tandem it truly delivers with its awesome power as you will see here in this video from the US futures trading session and revealing a wonderful trend that develops from the first, moves to the second chart, and on to the third. And of course when used in combination with time-based charts this gives the best of all worlds as we can then apply volume price analysis to the chart. So the perfect blend of time and not time-based charts.

Trading the Fast Timeframes in Congested Markets
Congested markets frustrate many traders. Price ranges tightly. Trends stall. But congestion offers opportunities. You just need to trade the fast timeframes. Lower charts reveal hidden moves.
Volume price analysis is a universal methodology that works in all timeframes from the fastest to the slowest, and yesterday's US trading session was a classic example as futures traded sideways following the explosive surge higher of the day before. At such times it's a case of moving to the fastest timeframes to scalp out the trades and here we saw opportunities in index futures, and commodities.
Why Fast Timeframes Work in Congestion
Higher timeframes show flat ranges. Fast timeframes (1-minute, 5-minute, or tick) uncover momentum. Small swings appear. Volume price analysis (VPA) spots conviction. High volume on short moves signals participation.
Applying VPA on Fast Charts
Volume price analysis (VPA) shines in congestion. Look for high volume breakouts from range. Low volume spikes warn of traps. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or...
