Understanding Volume in Forex: Why Tick Data Is Our Proxy (Football Stadium Analogy)
Forex markets are decentralized. No single exchange tracks every trade like stocks or futures. This raises a question: How do we measure volume? The answer is tick data—a reliable proxy for activity. Volume price analysis (VPA) uses this to reveal market intent. High ticks show participation. Low ticks signal quiet periods.
The Football Stadium Analogy
Imagine a football stadium from the outside. You can't see inside. But you hear the crowd.
Stadium Quiet: Low noise. Little happening—few goals, boring game. This is low tick volume. Market inactive. Price barely moves. No conviction.
Stadium Roaring: Loud cheers. Constant excitement—goals, near misses. This is high tick volume. Intense activity. Price swings with momentum. Professionals driving action.
Ticks are price changes (up or down). Each tick = a trade executed. High ticks = roaring crowd—real participation. Low ticks = quiet stadium—no momentum.
Why Tick Volume Works as Proxy
Brokers aggregate tick data from liquidity providers. It...

Day Trading Stocks and Index Futures Using Volume Price Analysis
Day trading stocks and index futures demands precision. Volume price analysis (VPA) provides it. It combines price action with trading volume. This reveals true market intent. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of weakness.
Applying VPA to Stocks and Futures
In stocks, VPA spots accumulation before breakouts. For index futures like ES or YM, watch volume spikes at key levels. Quantum indicators enhance this on NinjaTrader. The Accumulation/Distribution tool highlights building phases. Trend Monitor keeps you in winning trades longer.

VPA reduces noise on fast charts. It validates entries and exits. Anna Coulling's methodology works across markets. Combine with support/resistance for tighter stops. Quantum tools make day trading stocks and futures more consistent and confident.
This approach turns intraday volatility into an opportunity. Start applying VPA today for better results.

In the first part of the webinar we take a closer look at the current market narrative for inflation, what it is, what the metrics are and why it is important. With this item of fundamental news now rising to the top of the ranking ladder, risk markets such as equities remain cautious and this was the flavor across the US indices and for stocks in this trading session. On the daily timeframes, all three indices of the Dow, the Nasdaq100 and the S&P 500 are all trading in narrow ranges and looking fragile with indecisive candles signaling this clearly. Intraday it is much the same story with yen buying evident along with the US dollar.

How to Make Sense of the Forex Market Using MT4 and NinjaTrader
The forex market can feel overwhelming with constant price action and news. MT4 (or MT5) and NinjaTrader are excellent platforms to bring clarity. They offer powerful charting and custom indicators. Combine them with volume price analysis (VPA) for real insight.
Many forex traders struggle to understand how and why the currency markets behave in the way they do, but in fact, it is not hard to understand once you start to think of it in terms of one where the flow is constantly from level to level and back again, rising, falling and then rising once more. This is why we always say it is a market of mean reversion where levels and flow are key. Levels dictate reversal points or pause points, whilst flow is dedicated by sentiment and whether it is universal across the complex.
