Using multiple renko charts set to different timeframes is a great way to trade index futures. The renko charts reveal momentum and smooth out the price action, whilst the time-based charts give us the volume price analysis insights. Finally, of course, the Quantum Trading tools and indicators work perfectly on both and in particular the trends and trend monitor offering a powerful combination helping to get you in, keep you in and then get you out at the right time.

Trading Gold Using Volume Price Analysis
Gold is a timeless trading asset. It combines safe-haven demand, inflation hedge, and commodity volatility. Prices swing on sentiment shifts. Volume price analysis (VPA) provides the edge. It reads volume alongside price to reveal true market intent. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of weakness or traps.
A great example of a breakout trade on gold with volume price analysis then confirming the move higher for the precious metal.
Why VPA Excels for Gold Trading
Gold has no yield. It thrives on fear or growth expectations. Risk-off spikes demand—prices rally. Risk-on weakens it. VPA cuts through noise. High volume rallies confirm buying pressure. Low volume at highs signals distribution—professionals selling.
Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or MT5 enhance VPA. Trend Monitor aligns direction. VPOC marks key levels.
Key VPA Signals in Gold
VPA reveals phases:
Accumulation at Lows: Price tests support. Volume rises quietly—buyers absorbing selling. Low volume down candles = weak sellers.
Distribution at Highs: New highs on...
As with stock traders and investors who analyze the stock, it's sector and fundamentals before investing, the same is true for forex traders. So it pays to get to know your currency well, and here Anna explains what you need to focus on using the Australian dollar as an example.

The volume price analysis methodology is founded on one simple principle. Are volume and price in agreement or disagreement. If they are in agreement all is well and the price action continues. But when they are in disagreement it's time to start the analysis and follow the market makers as they buy, sell or sit on the side lines.

Discover How to Judge Trading Risk Using the CAD/JPY as an Example
Judging trading risk is crucial for consistent success. Many traders focus only on reward. But risk assessment comes first. The CAD/JPY pair offers a perfect example. CAD is commodity-linked. JPY is a safe-haven. This cross reveals risk sentiment clearly.
One of the key planks of trading success is in understanding and assessing risk on each trade, and in this example, from the London forex session we focus on the CAD/JPY which has several forces which influence it daily, as with so many of the cross-currency pairs in the yen complex.
Why CAD/JPY for Risk Judgment
CAD/JPY measures risk appetite. Strong CAD (rising oil/commodities) with weak JPY signals risk-on. Reverse for risk-off. Volume price analysis (VPA) judges the strength—high volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of traps.
Step-by-Step Risk Assessment with VPA
Relational View: Use currency strength indicator. CAD high, JPY low = risk-on bias. Favor longs.

Levels and Flow Using the Camarilla Levels Indicator
The Camarilla levels indicator is a powerful tool for intraday traders. It generates daily pivot levels based on previous close. These levels act as dynamic support and resistance. Price often flows between them, revealing market structure.
Learn how to apply the Camarilla levels indicator for NinjaTrader for both futures and forex.
How Camarilla Levels Show Flow
Camarilla provides eight levels—four support (S1-S6) and four resistance (R1-R6). Price bouncing between S3/R3 shows range-bound flow. Breaks beyond S4/R4 signal strong trends. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms flow—high volume on breaks validates conviction.
Practical Application with Quantum Tools
Use Camarilla on MT5 or NinjaTrader for clear visuals. Focus on S3/R4 for resistance in uptrends. R3/S4 for support in downtrends. Quantum's Camarilla indicator includes alerts for level interactions. Anna Coulling's VPA approach enhances these for better timing.
This indicator turns daily levels into flow maps. Combine with Quantum tools for confident intraday trading decisions. Spot reversals or continuations early.

How Do I Know What Tick Speed to Set My Tick Charts To – Do I Guess?
Tick charts are a scalper's favorite. They form bars based on a fixed number of trades (ticks), not time. This reveals pure momentum. But choosing the right tick size feels tricky for beginners. Do you guess? No—the Quantum TickSpeedometer solves this. It measures tick velocity in real time. This guides optimal settings and trading decisions.
No Guessing Needed: The TickSpeedometer Leads the Way
The TickSpeedometer on NinjaTrader tracks ticks per period. High speed shows strong participation—buyers or sellers dominating. Low speed signals fading interest.
To set tick charts:
Start with a default (e.g., 233 or 500 ticks for emini futures).
Watch TickSpeedometer. Ideal setting: Bars form at a pace showing clear surges (high speed) without excessive noise (too many bars) or lag (too few).
Adjust until momentum appears cleanly—surges on high speed, pauses on low.
This adapts to volatility. No trial-and-error guessing.

Why Volatility Surged on Index Plunges

Quantum volatility indicator on MT5 or NinjaTrader spiked. This warned of momentum. High readings aligned with risk-off flows.

Using Camarilla Levels to Identify Key Support & Resistance
Camarilla levels are a classic intraday tool for traders. They generate daily support and resistance zones from the previous session's range. This helps identify where price may pause, reverse, or break. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms conviction at these levels—high volume shows real interest.
An extract of our day trading the US futures session with a look at the fundamental releases that are becoming increasingly dramatic as coronavirus continues to dominate with particular focus on the YM emini, which is the futures contract for the Dow Jones using charts from the Ninjatrader platform.
