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.

Currency Futures and Index Futures Deliver in the US Session
Currency futures and index futures often deliver strong moves in the US session. Overlap with New York brings high liquidity. Volume surges create clear trends and breakouts. Traders find reliable opportunities here.
Currency futures and index futures really delivered in the US sessions ahead of the key FOMC release later in the day with the US dollar rising strongly and indices falling in Globex. On Tradestation Global using 9.5 and the Interactive Brokers feed, this was all too evident across currency futures with a sea of red on Radarscreen.
Volume Price Analysis in the US Session
Volume price analysis (VPA) shines during US hours. High volume on futures moves shows conviction. Currency futures like 6E (euro) or 6B (pound) react to dollar flows. Index futures like ES or YM capture equity sentiment. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader highlight these signals.
Why This Session Stands Out
US session volatility rewards prepared traders. Watch for continuation from London or...

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...

There Are Risk-On Days – and Then There Are These: An Explosive Day for Currencies
Some risk-on days deliver steady gains. Others explode with volatility. Today was the latter—an explosive day for currencies. Risk appetite surged. Commodity and growth-linked pairs rallied sharply. Safe-havens weakened. Traders captured big moves across sessions.
This was a red-letter day in every respect with positive news about a vaccine for COVID driving the markets into a frenzy as risk on dominated for much of the day. Leading the way were the yen currency pairs in the yen matrix, surging higher in all timeframes and mirroring the price action in equity markets. And of course, all confirmed through the prism of volume price analysis.

Volume price analysis (VPA) confirmed conviction. High volume...
