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...
Another great forex trading session with David and myself this morning, with the British pound once again in focus following the London open. As always, it's the currency strength indicator which leads the way and guides us into those currencies which are either overbought or oversold and ready to reverse, or which perhaps are already in a strong trend.
The early morning selling of the pound duly reversed and into a strong trend higher, driven by a positive statement over Brexit, and here the renko indicator for MT5 and NinjaTrader provides the perfect compliment to the time based charts, smoothing out the price action and helping traders either with entry or exits tactics, or helping to keep them in the trend once underway.
The early selling of the pound also signaled strong buying and confirming the reversal, with the currency matrix on NinjaTrader giving a very strong signal of the universal sentiment for the pound as markets bought across the complex.

In this morning's forex trading session, David and I explained the price cycle for forex markets, and through the prism of the Quantum Trading currency strength indicator. This indicator for MT4, MT5, and NinjaTrader describes the journey every currency makes from overbought to oversold and back again and reflecting the Wyckoffian principles of primary and secondary trends, as well as explaining how markets move from accumulation to distribution and back again in all time-frames.
All of this is of course underpinned by their core methodology which is volume price analysis and which is complemented with the full suite of tools and indicators from Quantum Trading.

And once again it's the power of volume price analysis which reveals everything.
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.

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 watch over the next few days and weeks.
The euro aussie is always an interesting pair to trade through Europe and into London as the strong cross flows from the Southern Hemisphere then meld into the European currency markets....
A great forex session and one where we were truly spoiled for choice, with the US dollar leading the way as safe haven flows saw the currency of first reserve rise strongly as European markets opened. This was countered with equally strong selling in several different currencies including the Australian dollar, the euro and the pound and clearly signaled on the currency strength indicator.
The move in the euro was triggered as a result of problems once more in the Italian banking system, an issue which like Greece, has never been resolved, and which is now rising once again to the
surface. But in this session we focused on one of these, the Aussie dollar which delivered a wonderful trend lower, and confirmed with all the associated indicators of the currency heatmap, the currency array and the currency matrix, with safe haven flows driving the US dollar, and equally strong bearish flows driving the Aussie, and combining in wonderful trading opportunity to...

In this morning's forex session David and I started with a look at the EUR/CAD, a pair I highlighted a few days ago on my site, and one which was an interesting confluence of the fundamental, the technical and the relational and something we cover in great detail in the Quantum Trading forex education program.
We then moved to consider some of the strong moves overnight for both the euro and the Japanese yen and the start of the European session was noteable for the congestion phases building around the volume point of control on the faster charts. It is as these points that markets are in price agreement, with the VPOC itself acting as the fulcrum of the market with no bias. The analogy here is of a see-saw, with both sides of equal weight. Once bearish or bullish sentiment develops, this then moves the price action away from the volume point of control and driven by volume as the...

Another great session this morning with David and myself as we showcase the Quantum Trading tools and indicators through the European open and into the London session, and the two currencies we focused on here were the British pound and the euro. As you would expect these are the currencies that take centre stage as European markets open, and we were not disappointed with the euro finding some positive sentiment and sending it firmly higher against the US dollar which was equally bearish on the faster timeframes, and so developing a nice trend. And of course this was clearly in evidence on the currency strength indicator on both the MT5 platform and the NinjaTrader platform.
One of the key issues when trading any pair is to understand whether the sentiment for the currency is universal across the currency complex, and here the currency matrix and the currency array step in to help and display this instantly and in all timeframes. This...

In this video we focus on the currency matrix and how to use it in combination with the currency strength indicator. In this example from early in the London session bullish sentiment for the euro drives several pairs but the euro yen really does deliver, and we return to follow the price action later in the morning, as this pair continues to rise strongly. A fantastic example and supported of course by the Quantum currency strength indicator and the other tools and indicators on the charts themselves.
Understanding universal sentiment and flow is key to currency trading success, and the currency matrix indicator for MT5 delivers, visually and clearly in all time-frames showing you instantly which pairs are rising strongly and which perhaps are not following the general market sentiment....
