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...

In this morning's forex trading session, David and I explained the price cycle for forex markets, and through the prism of the Quantum Trading currency strength indicator. This indicator for MT4, MT5, and NinjaTrader describes the journey every currency makes from overbought to oversold and back again and reflecting the Wyckoffian principles of primary and secondary trends, as well as explaining how markets move from accumulation to distribution and back again in all time-frames.
All of this is of course underpinned by their core methodology which is volume price analysis and which is complemented with the full suite of tools and indicators from Quantum Trading.

Now That’s What I Call a Reversal!!
Reversals can be dramatic in trading. This one stood out clearly. Price shifted sharply after exhaustion. Volume price analysis (VPA) spotted the turn early. It's a textbook example of market change. A terrific session on the US markets as the plunge in equities during the morning, was reversed in the afternoon with an equally strong recovery, with the three sister indices all closing on the day with an extreme wick to the lower body and a close near the high of the session. A fantastic trading day and one with many VPA lessons, not least the importance of understanding the relational aspects of market behaviour of bonds and currencies all of which sent clear signals of this change in sentiment.

Key VPA Signals in the Reversal
Volume price analysis revealed classic signs. High volume at the extreme showed distribution. Stopping volume appeared as buyers stepped in. Divergence between price and volume confirmed weakness in the old...

Trading Success? It’s All About Anticipating What’s Next Using Volume Price Analysis!
Trading success comes from anticipating the next move. Many traders react too late. Volume price analysis (VPA) changes this. It reads volume alongside price. This reveals market intent early. You stay ahead of the crowd.
Some great volume price analysis lessons once more as we move into the European session followed by London, and the signals could not be clearer supported by the Quantum Trading tools and indicators with the British pound in focus on the MT5 and NinjaTrader platforms.
How VPA Helps Anticipate Moves
VPA spots accumulation before breakouts. High volume at lows signals buying. Distribution at highs warns of selling. Divergence between price and volume predicts reversals. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or MT5 highlight these signals fast—Trend Monitor for direction, Accumulation/Distribution for phases.
Practical Benefits for Traders
Anticipating beats reacting. Enter trends early on volume confirmation. Avoid traps with low-volume spikes. Anna Coulling's VPA methodology teaches this foresight. Quantum tools make it...

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...

A Great Forex Session for the Euro, Aussie and the Pound!
A great forex session unfolded for the euro, Aussie, and pound. These currencies showed strong moves. Buying pressure dominated. Traders spotted high-probability opportunities in EUR, AUD, and GBP pairs.
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...

About This Session
A real game of two risk-off today. In the first half, risk off sentiment was duly replaced with a return to risk-on, as the major US indices and exchanges reversed all the losses of the first part of the session to close near or above the opening price.
The...
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...

Euro, Yen and Pound in Focus as London FX Opens
Euro, yen, and pound take centre stage as London FX opens. These majors drive early volatility. Traders watch for sentiment clues. Risk-on or risk-off flows often emerge here. In this morning's forex session, David and I started with a look at the EUR/CAD. This is a pair I highlighted a few days ago on my site. It is an interesting confluence of the fundamental, the technical, and the relational. We explain this in great detail in the Quantum Trading forex education program.
Why These Currencies Matter at London Open
London overlap brings high liquidity. Euro reacts to ECB hints. Yen reflects safe-haven demand. Pound ties to UK data. Volume price analysis (VPA) spots conviction—high volume on moves confirms direction.
Practical Trading Insights
Focus on EUR/USD, USD/JPY, and GBP/USD. Currency strength indicator ranks them quickly. Quantum matrix on MT5 or NinjaTrader highlights relational extremes. Anna Coulling's VPA approach navigates open-hour noise effectively.
Euro, yen, and pound in...
More excellent VPA lessons in this week's webinar during the US session as David and I focus on commodities, indices and stocks, and in this session we start with gold which had one of its best days for many weeks, with the two drivers of USD weakness and a flight to safe haven, all helping to propel the precious metal away from the drop zone below the $1200 per our region, if albeit only a temporary respite. The safe haven flows were as a result of the uncertainty in Europe and in particular the Italian budget, but as always, this looks likely to be resolved and such flows then likely to reverse just as fast. All of this was beautifully displayed on the renko optimizer for NinjaTrader, along with the other Quantum Trading indicators for NinjaTrader, and also confirmed on the intraday time based charts. Whilst the longer term picture for gold remains bearish, this was a day for the...
