The volume point of control takes centre stage on the US indices!

The Volume Point of Control Takes Centre Stage on the US Indices! The Volume Point of Control (VPOC) takes centre stage on US indices. It marks the price with highest traded volume. This level acts as fair value. Price often returns here. Reactions reveal market intent. In the US session for day trading the index futures, once again it was patience that was required in abundance as we waited for the inevitable breakaway which duly arrived later in the day. The primary indicator in this session was the volume point of control which as always gives a visual representation of the region of price agreement, with no bias in sentiment. This is the fulcrum of price action and works in all timeframes, denoting the heaviest concentration of volume on the price chart, combining as it does volume, price and time. Any move away from the volume point of control is then confirmed with the linear price volume relationship as Wyckoffian principles then apply...

https://youtu.be/5D7MM3Ffik8 Day Trading the ES Emini on Tick Charts and TickSpeedometer Delivers Solid Profits Day trading the ES Emini benefits from tick charts. They focus on activity, not time. This removes noise in fast markets. The TickSpeedometer adds precision. It measures participation surges to improve entry timing. An interesting session for US indices where despite the relatively narrow price action, the tick charts delivered some solid trading profits for intraday scalping traders. The focus in this session was on the ES emini, the most heavily traded index, and using tick charts in combination with the Ninjatrader Tickspeedometer indicator. This approach delivered some solid results despite the fact markets were waiting for FED chair Powell to deliver a speech to the Economic Club of Washington DC, with a question and answer session to follow. It was no surprise to see markets trading in a relatively tight range, but nonetheless delivering for the emini scalping trader. How Tick Charts and TickSpeedometer Work Together Tick charts group price...

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.

Avoid FOMO—chasing spikes often traps traders. VPA teaches patience—high volume on moves confirms real intent. Low volume extremes warn of...

US mid-term elections dominate price action in all markets

US mid-term elections dominate price action in all markets

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...

When volume really does reveal the truth behind the price action

https://youtu.be/aHAf6LAAgkE When Volume Really Does Reveal the Truth Behind the Price Action Price action can deceive traders. It looks strong or weak. But volume tells the real story. Volume price analysis (VPA) combines both. This uncovers true market intent. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of traps. Classic VPA Signals That Reveal Truth High volume on up candles confirms buying pressure. Price rises with conviction. Low volume on rallies signals weakness. Sellers absorb buying. This often leads to reversals. Divergence appears when price makes new highs on falling volume. Distribution is underway. An excellent trading session for US indices, commodities and stocks following the extreme moves of last week and at times such as this, volume price analysis becomes ever more powerful in helping to reveal the truth behind the price action. What was interesting here was the volume associated with the wide spread down candle which was the precursor to extreme volatility which followed and which is likely to continue for...
