A great session this morning with David and myself and we started with the EUR/AUD which has been rising strongly for the last few days, and one of the lessons from our private trading chat room where we support our forex education program members. This was an example of an annotated chart of the EUR/AUD posted in the forum in real time and explaining some of the key VPA lessons. One of the hardest things to do in trading is to stay in a trend once a position begins to develop into profit, particularly when the trend pauses and starts to pull back or reverse.
This happens in all timeframes and is when the market pauses and moves into congestion. So how do we know whether this is a true change in the primary trend, or simply a move into a secondary trend before re-establishing the primary trend once more, and this is where volume price analysis steps in. This is...

Euro Dollar Bears in Control on the Fast Charts and Currency Array
Euro dollar bears remain in control on the fast charts. Selling pressure dominates lower timeframes. Price pushes lower with conviction. This signals short-term weakness in EUR/USD.
The euro has been selling heavily in the early part of the London trading session, with the currency array indicator displaying this clearly on the 15m timeframe. The only pair lagging is the EUR/CHF, with all the other pairs neatly stacked at the bottom of the ranking ladder and now offering potential reversals from the over sold condition on the faster timeframe. The chart alongside for the EUR/USD reflects this bearish sentiment and here we have the accumulation and distribution indicator displaying the various levels of potential support and resistance.
The indicator works on the price action and signals those areas where levels have been tested from above and so are likely to act as support, and those where price has been tested from below,...

Trading gold today on NinjaTrader offers clear opportunities. This precious metal reacts to risk sentiment and USD moves. Volatility creates setups. The Renko Optimizer indicator enhances precision. It finds ideal brick sizes for non-time-based charts.

An interesting session for the open the US markets, and one where there was some divergence between the NQ emini and the YM emini. For the former it was a case of sideways congestion with extreme volatility as the exchange opened alongside Globex. For the YM it was a case of joining the steady and even trend higher as the Dow set off to reverse yesterday's losses. Across both the time and non time based charts of the renko and the tick, this developed into a wonderful trend with the index climbing steadily and moving through the various levels of support and resistance.
One of the interesting questions which came up during the session was the question of scaling in and scaling out. Every trader has to find what works for them as there is never a right way or wrong way to approach trading....

Aussie Dollar and Gold in Focus in the London Session
The Aussie dollar and gold take center stage in the London session. Both are commodity-linked assets. AUD reacts to risk sentiment. Gold often moves inversely to USD strength. Traders watch them for early clues.
In this morning's session once again we focus on some of the key concepts of support and resistance using the accumulation and distribution indicator for NinjaTrader and the dynamic support and resistance indicator for MT4/5. The AUD/USD provides some good examples from the faster to the slower timeframes as the pair tests a strong level of support in the session on the 60 minute chart.
One of the many trading concepts we also discuss is using multiple timeframes to identify levels in higher and lower timeframes. Finally we also look at support and resistance from the aspect of overbought and oversold with the currency strength indicator for NinjaTrader.

The exciting new renko optimiser for NinjaTrader 7 and NinjaTrader 8 is here. No longer will you have to guess at the optimal setting for a renko chart on NinjaTrader. The renko optimiser indicator does it all for you automatically and with one click of a button, delivering the optimal renko brick size for all markets, instruments and timeframes. The indicator works using average true range or ATR to deleiver the optimal setting during the trading session, ensuring you are always trading at the speed of the market.
By using Average True Range the Renko Optimiser indicator starts by calculating the degree of volatility of the instrument within a given period and timeframe. You may already be familiar with ATR and by using the ATR to determine the brick size, we can eliminate the noise or volatility normally present in a candlestick chart. It is a popular technique used by traders with Renko charts but which is all automated by the...
We will shortly be launching the Camarilla Levels indicator which will be available for both NinjaTrader 7 and NinjaTrader 8 and following the succesful launch last month for MT4 and MT5. The indicator is based on the original concept of floor pivots which were popular with floor based exchange traders. The Camarilla levels indicator presents six levels from R1 to R6 and from S1 to S6 with the range between R1 and S1 then designated as the buffer zone. As the price action moves from the various levels and tests other, signals are then delivered by the indicator which help to advise traders of forthcoming potential setups as follows and to suit your trading tactics:
Reversal Trading
For reversal trading the key levels to watch are S3 and R3. These are levels which when approached signal potential reversals. So when price is approaching and tests the S3 level below the buffer zone, a reversal to the upside may be on the horizon....

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.
