https://youtu.be/sXhakmOYIDE Basic Trading Lessons for New Traders in All Markets Trading offers excitement and potential rewards. But most new traders lose money. Success comes from discipline, not luck. These basic lessons apply across all markets—forex, stocks, futures, commodities, or crypto. Volume price analysis (VPA) provides the foundation. Start here for long-term consistency. Another great session with all the markets in focus from commodities and indices to stocks. Some great trading lessons here in all markets and timeframes on the NinjaTrader platform and using the Quantum Trading indicators. 1. Risk Management Comes First Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Limit each trade to 1-2% of your account. Use stop losses always. This protects capital. One bad trade won't end your journey. VPA helps place stops—beyond high volume levels for conviction. 2. Patience Is Your Greatest Edge Markets don't move every minute. Wait for high-probability setups. Avoid FOMO—chasing spikes often traps traders. VPA teaches patience—high volume on moves confirms real intent. Low volume extremes warn of...

A great day for trading stocks and indices – & the importance of floating supply

A great day for trading stocks and indices – & the importance of floating supply

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
Choosing the best stocks for day trading can be tricky and if you choose the wrong ones, it can be tough make money as a day trader. In this session, we cover some of the basics of stock selection for day trading and also highlight one of the key issues which is understanding floating supply. Floating supply is one of the most important factors to consider for the simple reason if the floating supply is small, then volatility is likely to be high as the price can be manipulated by the market makers very easily, or indeed a single large order. The opposite is where floating supply is large and in this case volatility will be reduced as these stocks are harder to corner for the market makers and insiders. This was also a great trading day with the opportunity to make money in all markets, with the ES index falling strongly along with the sister indices of the YM and NQ emini,...

Which pairs to choose and how to trade them – all explained here!

Which pairs to choose and how to trade them – all explained here!

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/RALighYqu0Y 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...

Oil delivers….again, and again, and again….

Oil delivers….again, and again, and again….

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/YRj70Ia-HEo Oil Delivers….Again, and Again, and Again…. Oil has been a trader's dream lately. It delivers consistent opportunities. The price keeps falling. This creates straightforward, low-risk, high-return trades. WTI futures lead the way. Momentum stays bearish across all timeframes. It's often hard to find trading opportunities which just deliver, and keep delivering, but for oil this has been the case over the last few weeks, and this was no different yesterday, with the WTI futures as the price of oil fell once more, and offering straightforward, low risk, high return trading opportunities in all time frames. The primary decision trading decision here is the number of contract to trade, with the time and non time based charts providing those key insights to maximize returns. And here, it really is a case of make hay while the sun shines. These fantastic trading opportunities don't come along every day, and until OPEC moves and potentially introduces supply cuts, this bearish momentum looks set to continue, but...

US mid-term elections dominate price action in all markets

US mid-term elections dominate price action in all markets

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/bXAhkmy3Yzg US Mid-Term Elections Dominate Price Action in All Markets US mid-term elections are dominating price action across all markets. Uncertainty creates volatility. Equities, forex, and commodities react. Traders watch for sentiment shifts. This event paused many trends. Congestion appeared as results unfolded. Waiting for the US mid-term elections was reflected in the markets this afternoon, and following an initial move higher, that was it for the rest of the session, as all three indices rotated around the VPOC on the fast-timeframe charts and lacked both direction and participation. The price action was no great surprise given the political landscape along with the FED decision due on Thursday. But as always on such days, it reminds us we have to be patient and wait for the trading opportunities to arrive and not force them, where none exist which was the case for index traders today. This general lack of momentum was also reflected in related markets, with the US dollar and gold both trading...

https://youtu.be/Ab_xg8KLIrU 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.

https://youtu.be/cDz2mmr1l48 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...

Spoilt for choice in the fx session – which pair to choose!!

Spoilt for choice in the fx session – which pair to choose!!

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
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...
