Trading the fast timeframes in congested markets

https://youtu.be/w88ZIuWlYeQ Trading the Fast Timeframes in Congested Markets Congested markets frustrate many traders. Price ranges tightly. Trends stall. But congestion offers opportunities. You just need to trade the fast timeframes. Lower charts reveal hidden moves. Volume price analysis is a universal methodology that works in all timeframes from the fastest to the slowest, and yesterday's US trading session was a classic example as futures traded sideways following the explosive surge higher of the day before. At such times it's a case of moving to the fastest timeframes to scalp out the trades and here we saw opportunities in index futures, and commodities. Why Fast Timeframes Work in Congestion Higher timeframes show flat ranges. Fast timeframes (1-minute, 5-minute, or tick) uncover momentum. Small swings appear. Volume price analysis (VPA) spots conviction. High volume on short moves signals participation. Applying VPA on Fast Charts Volume price analysis (VPA) shines in congestion. Look for high volume breakouts from range. Low volume spikes warn of traps. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or...

How index trading works

How index trading works

https://youtu.be/XRHQTNQcPtY How Index Trading Works: A Beginner's Guide to Futures Learn how index trading works in the second part of the US day trading session. Index trading lets you speculate on the performance of stock market indices (like the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, or Dow Jones) without buying individual stocks. The most common way is through futures contracts traded on exchanges like the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange). These are standardised agreements to buy or sell the index at a future date, but most traders close positions before expiration for profit/loss based on price changes. How Futures Work (Basics) Futures are derivative contracts: Long or Short: Go long (buy) if you expect the index to rise. Go short (sell) if you expect it to fall. Leverage: You don't pay the full value upfront. Deposit "margin" (a fraction, e.g., 5-10%). This amplifies gains/losses. Tick Value: Each point move has a dollar value. Profit/loss = points moved × tick value × contracts. Expiration: Contracts expire quarterly (March, June, September,...

Trading lessons for day traders and a wonderful trade on gold

Trading lessons for day traders and a wonderful trade on gold

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/Rd07YedpVz0 Trading Lessons for Day Traders – and a Wonderful Trade on Gold Day trading is fast and demanding. Success comes from discipline, not luck. These key lessons help day traders thrive. They apply across markets—forex, indices, commodities. Volume price analysis (VPA) is central. A recent gold trade shows them in action. Lesson 1: Risk Management First Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Limit each trade to 1% of capital. Use stops always. Day trading amplifies emotions—one bad move hurts. VPA places stops intelligently—beyond high volume levels. Lesson 2: Patience for Confirmation Wait for setups. Avoid FOMO—chasing spikes often traps traders. VPA teaches this—high volume on moves confirms conviction. Low volume warns of weakness. Lesson 3: Let Winners Run, Cut Losers Fast Hold strong trades. Exit weak ones quickly. VPA helps—high volume continuation = trail stops. Divergence or low volume = exit signal. Lesson 4: Focus on Process, Not Outcome Journal trades. Review VPA signals. Learn from losses. Quantum Trend Monitor aligns direction—this builds consistency. A Wonderful Gold...

When is the next black swan event coming?

When is the next black swan event coming?

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/9ZvhNolh_BM We are about to enter a unique confluence of events, the like of which we have never seen before, or likely to see again and ones which could ultimately deliver not one black swan event but possibly two over the coming months and in this video we explain why. Whilst for day traders this is likely to present some wonderful trading opportunities, for longer term investors who perhaps have joined the rally late, the events of the next few weeks and months are likely to be painful and one only has to consider the VIX which continues to remain stubbornly high in the mid-20's and showing no signs of falling as the rally continues on weakening volumes. No one knows when the next black swan event is coming—and that's the whole point. A "black swan" (coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book The Black Swan) is an event that: Is extremely rare and unpredictable (outside normal expectations). Has massive, widespread consequences. ...

https://youtu.be/Ki9Wbj6p7oo A Classic Trap Move on the GBP/AUD on the 10 Minute Chart – Hard to Miss This One!! GBP/AUD delivered a classic trap move on the 10-minute chart. Price spiked sharply. Traders chased the breakout. But it was a fakeout. Volume price analysis (VPA) made it hard to miss. There are always traps being laid for the unwary trader, but for students of the volume price methodology these are always very easy to see, and in the London forex session we highlight one on the GBP/AUD on the 10-minute chart which was hard to miss!!A classic trap move on low volume with a nice wide spread up candle....then congestion and the reversal follow. Price action traders would have followed this one higher. Volume price analysis traders would have closed out, and then joined any reversal lower. Spotting the Trap with VPA The spike looked bullish at first. Price broke resistance fast. Many bought the move. But volume was low—no conviction. This screamed trap. Quantum...
