Great forex session with the GBP/AUD, the GBP/JPY and the AUD/JPY all in focus

A great forex session this morning in the live webinar with David and myself, and one where we were spoilt for choice in terms of trading lessons and also trading opportunities. The pairs we chose were the GBP/AUD on the MT5 platform and the AUD/JPY on the NinjaTrader platform, before moving to look at the GBP/JPY later in the webinar and of course all analysed through the prism of volume price analysis and the Quantum Trading tools and indicators. For the GBP/AUD is was a case of further heavy selling in this pair and reflected in the time based charts supported by the MT5 renko chart. As always the currency strength indicator signalled the strength of the move and again using multiple timeframes giving the clear signals we need to select the currency or currency pair for further analysis. One of the keys to success is in applying volume price analysis which then helps to identify whether a reversal is...

https://youtu.be/nPZJa2zqzxA A great session this morning with David and myself and we started with the EUR/AUD which has been rising strongly for the last few days, and one of the lessons from our private trading chat room where we support our forex education program members. This was an example of an annotated chart of the EUR/AUD posted in the forum in real time and explaining some of the key VPA lessons. One of the hardest things to do in trading is to stay in a trend once a position begins to develop into profit, particularly when the trend pauses and starts to pull back or reverse. This happens in all timeframes and is when the market pauses and moves into congestion. So how do we know whether this is a true change in the primary trend, or simply a move into a secondary trend before re-establishing the primary trend once more, and this is where volume price analysis steps in. This is...

Euro dollar bears in control on the fast charts and currency array

https://youtu.be/8CNbdPQ_fow The euro has been selling heavily in the early part of the London trading session, with the currency array indicator displaying this clearly on the 15m timeframe. The only pair lagging is the EUR/CHF, with all the other pairs neatly stacked at the bottom of the ranking ladder and now offering potential reversals from the over sold condition on the faster timeframe. The chart alongside for the EUR/USD reflects this bearish sentiment and here we have the accumulation and distribution indicator displaying the various levels of potential support and resistance. The indicator works on the price action and signals those areas where levels have been tested from above and so are likely to act as support, and those where price has been tested from below, and therefore likely to act as resistance. And of course for reversal traders this is a great time to spot those phases where a currency or currency pair is heavily overbought or oversold. Here the euro...

Aussie dollar and gold in focus in the London session

Aussie dollar and gold in focus in the London session

https://youtu.be/nKQ7QhwxWng In this morning's session once again we focus on some of the key concepts of support and resistance using the accumulation and distribution indicator for NinjaTrader and the dynamic support and resistance indicator for MT4/5. The AUD/USD provides some good examples from the faster to the slower timeframes as the pair tests a strong level of support in the session on the 60 minute chart. One of the many trading concepts we also discuss is using multiple timeframes to search out the levels in higher and lower timeframes. Finally we also look at support and resistance from the aspect of overbought and oversold with the currency strength indicator for NinjaTrader....

Risk off sentiment in the London forex session

Risk off sentiment in the London forex session

https://youtu.be/-5MMfQ-uu5Q Recording of this morning's London forex session with the Aussie yen in focus in risk off start to the trading day. It was a risk off start to the trading day with the Japanese yen being bought universally across the market, and with the focus on the Aussie yen in particular. The Quantum currency array indicator highlighted this perfectly in the session with some excellent price action.

Using the currency strength indicator & currency array, as US dollar sells heavily!

https://youtu.be/y_1RtKZFI3U In this video we explain how to use the currency strength indicator and the currency array indicator in tandem, as they reveal the opportunities available for selling the US dollar. The two indicators are part of the Quantum Trading currency dashboard with the currency matrix and the currency heatmap then completing the full complement of MT5 indicators for trading forex. Here we have a great example of the importance of seeing the universal market sentiment. The market is selling the US dollar across the US dollar complex, and so trading with the flow of sentiment is a lower risk proposition. As we can see, this is clearly revealed on the currency array, as indeed is the strength of the momentum in the pairs. In addition, the currency strength indicator is also revealing this very strong negative sentiment towards the US dollar by the steepness of the lines on the indicator, with the Canadian dollar being bought equally strongly, along with the...

Strong buying of the GBP and EUR across the timeframes

Strong buying of the GBP and EUR across the timeframes

One of the keys to success as a forex trader is in being able to see currency strength and weakness instantly and across the timeframes, and in early trading this morning we have a classic example described by the Quantum Trading currency strength indicator across the faster timeframes. Here we see the strong buying of the British Pound ( the yellow line) and also the Euro ( the orange line) from the 5 minute through to the 30 minute chart. With both currencies rising so strongly and across the timeframes, it is simply a question of deciding which pair to focus on as the counter currency and trade accordingly. This set up is one we are looking for constantly, as the reversal in the faster timeframe is then confirmed by its appearance in the slower timeframes 'downstream'. This can be thought of as the ripples on a pond from throwing a stone, with the water then moving steadily away from the...

The currency array and universal sentiment explained

https://youtu.be/8Dv5ox6CQXU Once of the key concepts to understand as a forex trader is that of sentiment to a currency, and whether that sentiment is universal across the complex. In this video we explain the principles of the Quantum currency array and in particular using the yen complex. Here we can see we have diversity on the yen, with some pairs rising and some falling, so sentiment to the yen is currently mixed with both buying and selling in this time frame. However, when we move to consider the British pound which is the most bearish in the yen complex, here we can see why. The GBP is being universally sold across the complex, and as such with any trading opportunities, offers a lower risk proposition as we are trading with the market universally. In other words everyone is selling the GBP, so we are simply joining the current sentiment which is across the GBP complex and so the risk is lower. There...

The three indices we often forget as forex traders!

https://youtu.be/lYtz5YrK5ro In this video we explain the importance of understanding where the three major currencies are heading, whether intraday or on a longer term basis. The three main currencies are of course the US dollar, the Japanese yen and the single currency of the euro. The Quantum Trading suite of tools and indicators delivers an index for all three, and using the tab feature of NinjaTrader 8 offers a compact and efficient way to monitor these key currencies in all timeframes, whilst optimising space on the screen. This allows you as a forex trader to track these currencies, and from there have a much clearer view of where each is heading which will then be reflected in the major currency complex or the cross currency complex accordingly. The US dollar, the Japanese yen and the euro are three currencies which drive the forex market universally, and having this clear view is paramount to then understanding where the currency pairs themselves are heading individually....

How the MT5 currency matrix reveals market sentiment

How the MT5 currency matrix reveals market sentiment

https://youtu.be/tYxQgRGHcjI In this video which comes towards the end of the London session and the start of the US session, we highlight how the currency matrix helps to identify the universal sentiment to the Canadian dollar. In this example the USD dollar has been strongly bullish before reversing to bearish and coupled with very strong buying of the Canadian dollar which is shown on the currency strength indicator. On the currency matrix we then isolate our the Canadian dollar which confirms that sentiment across the CAD complex is universal. In other words, the CAD is being bought against all other primary currencies and as revealed on the 10 minute ranking ladder with the 20 minute timeframe starting to develop in the same way.
