Another great forex session as the US markets get underway following the overnight news in the Far East and in particular with regard to the Aussie dollar. Once again some great examples of volume price analysis in action which then provides the foundation for all the other technical analysis on the chart and supported by the Quantum Trading indicators.
For forex traders the Quantum Trading currency dashboard is a great place to start with the currency strength indicator revealing individual strength and weakness across the eight major currencies. Then it’s on to the currency matrix and the currency array to consider the pairs and the complex of currencies, before moving finally to the currency heatmap.
The importance of using multiple timeframes is once again highlighted both on the charts themselves and also on the indicators, with key indicators such as the trend monitor and trend dots helping to keep you in a position during the inevitable pause points in any trend higher...

A Masterclass in Trading Forex Using the Quantum Trading Indicators and Volume Price Analysis
Trading forex successfully requires more than price charts. Volume price analysis (VPA) adds the missing piece. It combines price action with trading volume. This reveals true market intent. Quantum Trading indicators make VPA accessible and powerful on MT5 or NinjaTrader.
This morning's forex trading session was a masterclass in trading, combining every aspect in one powerful lesson. The GBP/JPY provided a perfect example, starting with the base methodology of volume price analysis as the move higher came to a temporary halt in the faster timeframes and duly reflected on across the currency dashboard in terms of the currency strength indicator, the currency matrix, the currency array and finally the currency heatmap.
Multiple Timeframes
Multiple timeframes are a key aspect coupled with support and resistance, the volume point of control and of course related markets in terms of risk sentiment. The currency indices too also play a pivotal role in identifying...
Another interesting session with the British pound once again in focus for several reasons.
First of course Brexit continues to dominate the news, and whenever an item of fundamental news is released it is the context of the bigger picture, and therefore has relatively little impact. Second, a volume price analysis anomaly was clearly in evidence on the daily chart for the GBP/AUD. Here we saw a wide spread up candle, yet the associated volume was not in agreement with such a strong move. Clearly the market makers were not participating in the move higher, with the pair duly rolling over a few days later to deliver a clear trading opportunity to the short side.
Finally we focused on the new release of retail sales to demonstrate volume price analysis in action on the 1 minute timeframe, and moreover the trap moves initiated on any such release, with the volatility indicator revealing its true power.

London Forex Session Delivers Great Trading & Volume Price Analysis Lessons
The London forex session delivers great trading opportunities daily. It overlaps with Europe. Liquidity surges early. This creates clear moves. Volume price analysis (VPA) lessons abound here.
A terrific trading session which once again had so many lessons for traders in all timeframes, emphasizing the power of volume price analysis and supported by the Quantum Trading tools and indicators.
As so often happens at the session crossover periods, reversals take centre stage as the market makers move in to trap traders into weak positions. Putting Brexit to one side, the focus here was on the commodity currencies and in particular the cross-currency pairs of the euro, the Aussie dollar, and the Canadian dollar.
Mean Reversion
The forex market is one of mean reversion and none more so at these times, when the market makers are at their most active. For the EUR/AUD the solid bearish trends intraday were duly reversed, but as always it's...

2019 Starts with a Bang! But Volume Price Analysis Reveals the Truth Behind the Price Action
2019 started with a bang in markets. Price action exploded early. Volatility spiked across indices and currencies. Traders chased moves. But volume price analysis (VPA) revealed the truth. Surface strength often hid weakness.
If there was one word to define the end of 2018 and the start of 2019, that would be......volatility. Over the holiday period and at the start of the new trading year we have seen extreme and volatile moves across the markets. First was the biggest single-day points gain ever for the DOW which climbed over 1000 points. Astonishing by any standards, even in a 'normal' session and not one sandwiched between two holidays. Next came the flash crash for currencies with the yen pairs plunging several hundred pips in minutes, only to recover equally quickly over the next few hours.
And all of this price action given further impetus from the thin liquidity...

In this session, we stressed once again the importance of distinguishing between the signal and the noise from the FED ahead of the FOMC minutes later. Once again we have seen how the Federal Reserve is the most powerful central bank in the world and how its words and actions impact all markets and the global economy.
We then focused on the pound in a variety of timeframes, with some great volume price anlaysis lessons in several pairs.
Finally we looked at the currency heatmap and the extremes for some longer term trading opportunities.

Choosing which currency pairs can be a tricky decision, and one each forex trader has to make for themselves, and as this is a frequent question, it's one we answer in this morning's forex session. And always there is no right or wrong answer, only what suits you, and perhaps the key here is patience. If you have the patience to wait, then reducing the number of pairs to trade can be an excellent way to become an expert in one or two, perhaps also with a preferred tactic. However, this can create problems as boredom can often be an issue as other pairs are then sought out, and very quickly all the initial discipline has gone, and the trader is then taking trades in all pairs, as before. So it's not easy.
Another question frequently asked is how to use the currency dashboard and the four trading indicators it contains, and here David walks through the three-step process, with the...

Trading Success? It’s All About Anticipating What’s Next Using Volume Price Analysis!
Trading success comes from anticipating the next move. Many traders react too late. Volume price analysis (VPA) changes this. It reads volume alongside price. This reveals market intent early. You stay ahead of the crowd.
Some great volume price analysis lessons once more as we move into the European session followed by London, and the signals could not be clearer supported by the Quantum Trading tools and indicators with the British pound in focus on the MT5 and NinjaTrader platforms.
How VPA Helps Anticipate Moves
VPA spots accumulation before breakouts. High volume at lows signals buying. Distribution at highs warns of selling. Divergence between price and volume predicts reversals. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or MT5 highlight these signals fast—Trend Monitor for direction, Accumulation/Distribution for phases.
Practical Benefits for Traders
Anticipating beats reacting. Enter trends early on volume confirmation. Avoid traps with low-volume spikes. Anna Coulling's VPA methodology teaches this foresight. Quantum tools make it...

A Great Forex Session for the Euro, Aussie and the Pound!
A great forex session unfolded for the euro, Aussie, and pound. These currencies showed strong moves. Buying pressure dominated. Traders spotted high-probability opportunities in EUR, AUD, and GBP pairs.
An excellent forex trading session with Anna and David of Quantum Trading, as Europe opens and followed by London. The focus this week was on the euro and the pound, with Anna tracking the GBP/USD as strong pound buying is counterbalanced by US dollar selling, but as always with an eye on the London open where reversals are always likely as this major centre opens for the trading day. One to watch at present is also the Swiss franc, not only for safe haven flows but also as result of the problems in Italy and the Italian banks, with many moving their cash across the border and into Switzerland as a result, so selling euros and buying the franc, so one to...
