The euro falls on ‘good’ news – here’s why!

July 21, 2020 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

The agreement between EU member states on the bailout package would normally be perceived as good news by many forex traders, yet the euro has fallen. Here's why and it's all to do with the bond markets and in particular the spreads between Italy and Germany which hold the long term key for the direction of the single currency. https://youtu.be/Uk2MxuLRCjI...

Another classic trap designed for you to fall into

June 23, 2020 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

Sessions crossovers arrive daily and the big one is always when the London forex market gets underway with the deepest liquidity. This is when the market makers are at their most active from 8am UK time with volatility, reversals and congestion following. Some of the traps are on high volume as the market makers participate, others on low volume, but all are clearly signalled with volume price analysis and the volatility indicator for MT4, MT5, NinjaTrader or Tradestation. https://youtu.be/ddWmqMEWX6Y...

Euro crushed in a great forex session – check out the Camarilla levels

March 25, 2019 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

The euro was crushed under the weight of the German PMI data which came in far worse than expected, but continued the downwards trend of the last 12 months, and moving further away from the fulcrum of 50. With German production slowing, this is not good news for the European economy in general, and this bearish sentiment was also reflected in global equities. The Camarilla levels indicator gave us some excellent levels both as targets and also potential opportunities on the NinjaTrader platform. https://youtu.be/Mq4hcUK3RZk...

2019 starts with a bang! But volume price analysis reveals the truth behind the price action

January 8, 2019 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

If there was one word to define the end of 2018 and the start of 2019, that would be......volatility. Over the holiday period and at the start of the new trading year we have seen extreme and volatile moves across the markets. First was the biggest single-day points gain ever for the DOW which climbed over 1000 points. Astonishing by any standards, even in a 'normal' session and not one sandwiched between two holidays. Next came the flash crash for currencies with the yen pairs plunging several hundred pips in minutes, only to recover equally quickly over the next few hours. And all of this price action given further impetus from the thin liquidity and low volumes. Both these moves were associated with average volume, and sending a clear and unequivocal signal of traps laid by the market makers and big operators. Volume price analysis as always reveals the truth behind price action and whether the major players are participating in...

A great forex session for the euro, Aussie and the pound!

October 16, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

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

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

October 9, 2018 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...
