https://youtu.be/DX_Xx9oo4SE Volatility and What It Reveals About the Market You Are Trading Volatility is a core feature of markets. It measures how much price swings. High volatility means big moves. Low volatility shows calm periods. But volatility reveals more than just movement. It exposes market sentiment and phases. In this session from the US futures trading webclass I explain how to study volatility and what it reveals about the market you are trading.

Get started trading index futures using the micro contracts from the CME

https://youtu.be/HhY-z-Js5X0 Get Started Trading Index Futures Using Micro Contracts from the CME Micro index futures from the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) are an excellent entry point for retail traders. These contracts are 1/10 the size of standard E-mini futures, with lower margins and risk. Popular ones include Micro E-mini S&P 500 (/MES), Nasdaq-100 (/MNQ), Dow Jones (/MYM), and Russell 2000 (/M2K). They track major US indices with high liquidity. The emini micros from the CME are new small size index futures, which are great for those getting started day trading the emini index markets. Key Benefits of Micro Contracts Lower Capital: Day trading margins ~$50-1,000 per contract (broker-dependent; e.g., $576 for /MES at some). Reduced Risk: Smaller tick value (e.g., $1.25/point for /MES vs $12.50 for E-mini). Accessibility: Trade major indices without big account sizes. 24/5 Liquidity: Nearly round-the-clock trading. Step-by-Step to Get Started Choose a Broker: Select one with CME access and low commissions (e.g., NinjaTrader Brokerage, Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, or AMP Futures). Many...

https://youtu.be/8CpODxPkX90 Learn How to Read the Economic Data and What It Reveals in the Cycle Economic data releases drive market moves. Traders must learn to read them correctly. Data reveals where we are in the economic cycle. This guides sentiment and trading decisions. Volume price analysis (VPA) adds confirmation. Learn how to read the economic data and what it reveals in the cycle Key Economic Indicators and Cycle Phases The cycle has four phases: recovery, expansion, slowdown, recession. Leading indicators like PMI signal early turns. Coincident indicators (GDP, employment) show current state. Lagging indicators (unemployment rate) confirm trends. Strong data (high PMI, low unemployment) points to expansion. Weak data signals slowdown. Central bank responses follow—rate hikes in expansion, cuts in recession. How Data Reveals Cycle Position Positive surprises boost risk-on sentiment. Commodity currencies (AUD, CAD) strengthen. Negative surprises favor safe-havens (JPY, CHF). Volume price analysis confirms reactions—high volume on moves shows conviction. Trading with Data and VPA Wait for data release. Watch initial reaction. Use VPA for confirmation—high volume...

Learn how to trade index futures and the importance of divergence in price action

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/1jssQveEdh0 Learn How to Trade Index Futures and the Importance of Divergence in Price Action Index futures like ES, NQ, or YM offer high liquidity and volatility. They track major stock indices. Trading them requires understanding price action. Divergence is a key signal. It warns of potential reversals when price and momentum disagree. What Is Divergence in Price Action? Divergence occurs when price makes new highs or lows. But an oscillator (like RSI or MACD) fails to confirm. Bullish divergence: Price new low, oscillator higher low—buyers stepping in. Bearish divergence: Price new high, oscillator lower high—sellers distributing. Why Divergence Matters in Index Futures Index futures trend strongly but reverse sharply. Divergence spots exhaustion early. For example, ES rallies to new high. But volume drops and RSI shows lower high. This signals weakness. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms—high price on low volume means distribution. Applying VPA to Divergence Volume price analysis (VPA) strengthens divergence signals. High volume on reversal candles validates the turn. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader highlight this—Accumulation/Distribution...
