Risk off sentiment in the London forex session

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/-5MMfQ-uu5Q Risk Off Sentiment in the London Forex Session Risk-off sentiment often emerges in the London forex session. Uncertainty drives it. Traders sell risky assets. Safe-haven currencies gain. This creates clear opportunities in majors and crosses. Recording of this morning's London forex session with the Aussie yen in focus in risk-off start to the trading day. It was a risk off start to the trading day with the Japanese yen being bought universally across the market, and with the focus on the Aussie yen in particular. The Quantum currency array indicator highlighted this perfectly in the session with some excellent price action. You can check out all the tools and indicators at https://www.quantumtrading.com and the full education program at https://www.quantumtradingeducation.com Signs of Risk Off in London Open London overlap brings high liquidity. Risk-off flows appear early. Safe-havens like JPY or CHF strengthen. Commodity currencies (AUD, NZD) weaken. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms—high volume on yen upmoves shows conviction. Low-volume rallies in risk pairs signal traps. Quantum Tools Spot...

Volatility across all the markets on the MT5 platform

Volatility across all the markets on the MT5 platform

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/scoF2tPuTrM Volatility Across All Markets on the MT5 Platform Once again we are on the MT5 platform and here we can trade all the markets very easily, including commodities, indices and stocks. So a great platform and one for which all the Quantum Trading indicators are now available. In this video we focus on the volatility indicator which is triggered in real time and signals the potential for a congestion phase of price action to follow, or a potential reversal. In other words, it sends a strong signal of what to expect next, which is all we need to know as traders. Most traders are then trapped in weak positions as the market moves into congestion or reverses against them and they are either stopped out or close out at a loss. The volatility indicator is a simple yet powerful indicator based on ATR and is available for both MT4 and MT5 Volatility is the lifeblood of trading opportunities. It creates price swings.

Volume point of control (VPOC) holds key for gold

Volume point of control (VPOC) holds key for gold

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
All traders understand the significance of price levels, and use any number of methods of trying to establish which are important and which to target not only as potential price objectives, but also try to try and establish where price is likely to stall. And what makes a price level significant is whether it is reflected across different time frames, and we have a great example from the daily and monthly charts for gold. On the daily chart we've seen some reasonable buying coming in at 1235, and perhaps even the start of a double bottom with the Camarilla marking the upside levels that need to be breached. But the monthly is looking bearish as the gold price is trying to break away from VPOC in the 1260 region, but what is significant this is also the R4 level on the daily and which is where only a break and hold here would signal the resumption of bullish sentiment. However, short term the...

The currency array and universal sentiment explained

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/8Dv5ox6CQXU Once of the key concepts to understand as a forex trader is that of sentiment to a currency, and whether that sentiment is universal across the complex. In this video we explain the principles of the Quantum currency array and in particular using the yen complex. Here we can see we have diversity on the yen, with some pairs rising and some falling, so sentiment to the yen is currently mixed with both buying and selling in this time frame. However, when we move to consider the British pound which is the most bearish in the yen complex, here we can see why. The GBP is being universally sold across the complex, and as such with any trading opportunities, offers a lower risk proposition as we are trading with the market universally. In other words everyone is selling the GBP, so we are simply joining the current sentiment which is across the GBP complex and so the risk is lower. There is...

How to isolate and focus on your currency pair on MT5

How to isolate and focus on your currency pair on MT5

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/Rk4r7QMSd6Q In this video we explain how to isolate out the currency pair using the currency strength indicator, and then to add further focus to the chart by including the currency index in our trading work-space. In this example it's the GBP/JPY which is our focus, and on the currency strength indicator all the other currencies have been turned off, allowing us to see instantly and clearly where the two currencies are in their journey. This can be done easily and quickly using the toggle buttons on the indicator. Here we can see the Yen is rising strongly and the British pound is falling strongly and so developing the strongly bearish trend we see on the chart. In other words the perfect combination, where we have strength in one currency reinforced with weakness in the other. This is confirmed by the trend monitor indicator, the support and resistance indicator and of course volume. Finally to help focus further on this pair, we have added...

Volatility indicator detects and protects

Volatility indicator detects and protects

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
Volatility Indicator Detects and Protects The volatility indicator detects market movement early. It measures price swings in real time. High readings signal increased activity. Low readings show calm periods. This helps traders prepare for changes. A great example of the Quantum volatility indicator in action yesterday in the eur/aud currency pair. The indicator was triggered on unexpected comments from ECB member Nowotny - noted hawk - who suggested the ECB's current program of QE was likely to come to an end sooner rather than later. Ahead of these comments eur/aud was looking to continue its bearish tone. However, on the comments hitting the newswires sentiment in the euro changed and euro pairs soared as volatility hit the market. This indicator triggers in real time so, as traders, we know instantly something is afoot. What then generally happens is that on completion of the volatility candle, price action retraces to within the spread of the candle as the sting is taken out of the move....

How the MT5 currency matrix reveals market sentiment

How the MT5 currency matrix reveals market sentiment

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/tYxQgRGHcjI How the MT5 Currency Matrix Reveals Market Sentiment The MT5 currency matrix reveals market sentiment clearly. It displays relational strength across all major pairs. A heatmap format ranks currencies visually. Strong ones appear in green. Weak ones show in red. This exposes overall mood instantly. In this video which comes towards the end of the London session and the start of the US session, we highlight how the currency matrix helps to identify the universal sentiment to the Canadian dollar. In this example, the USD dollar has been strongly bullish before reversing to bearish, and coupled with very strong buying of the Canadian dollar, which is shown on the currency strength indicator. On the currency matrix we then isolate our the Canadian dollar which confirms that sentiment across the CAD complex is universal. In other words, the CAD is being bought against all other primary currencies and as revealed on the 10 minute ranking ladder with the 20 minute timeframe starting to develop...

Using the MT5 CSI currency strength indicator for scalping

https://youtu.be/d8pPI6vgIlM In this short video we explain the power of using the Quantum Trading currency strength indicator in multiple timeframes on the MT5 platform. And in this example we are using the MT5 platform once again which provides a much wider choice of timeframes using both the standard and custom options. Here we have the currency strength indicator applied to the 5 minute the 10 minute and the 15 minute timeframes, and focused on the EUR/CAD currency pair. Here we can see the trend is already underway and confirmed by the currency strength indicator with the euro currency falling strongly and the Canadian dollar rising just as strongly. This is where we see the strongest trends develop and the steepness of the line for each currency gives us clear and strong signals of the strength of the momentum for this pair,  with strength in one and weakness in the other, providing the prefect combination for a strong trend in the pair. The trend...

Heatmap highlights extent of overbought & oversold on Aussie & CAD

Heatmap highlights extent of overbought & oversold on Aussie & CAD

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
At the start of a new month and quarter it's always useful to consider which currencies and currency pairs are at extremes, because if there is one thing we can be sure of is that at some point sentiment for an individual currency and currency pair will change. And this is where the Quantum heatmap indicator can help as it not only ranks our 28 currency pairs, but also does so across multiple time frames giving us a snapshot of what is happening on 252 charts. And as we can see it is Aussie and Cad that have been heavily sold, particularly against the Yen and the British pound. The daily chart of the aud/jpy now shows the pair attempting to base in the 80.50 region, which also coincides with our S3 Camarilla level, and today's bullish price action, on reasonable volume, has taken the pair to the underside of the first major resistance at 82, and assuming risk off sentiment...

Make volatility your friend

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/5XLzU7sSBO4 Make Volatility Your Friend Volatility is often feared in trading. But it can be your friend. High movement creates opportunities. The key is understanding it. Volume price analysis (VPA) turns volatility into advantage. As traders volatility can be your greatest enemy, but with the Quantum volatility indicator you can now not only see it trigger in real time, but also have the confidence to take cool headed trading decision. The indicator works on all time frames and across all markets, and in this video you see on the MT5 platform. Why Volatility Is Opportunity Volatile markets move fast. Price swings widen. This offers bigger rewards. But noise increases. VPA filters it. High volume on swings shows conviction. Low volume warns of traps. Quantum volatility indicator on MT5 highlights these surges clearly. Using VPA in Volatile Conditions Volume price analysis (VPA) thrives in volatility. Look for high volume breakouts—confirmed momentum. Divergence (price extreme on low volume) signals reversals. Quantum Trend Monitor on MT5 aligns direction. Stay in...
