Using the Renko Indicator for Trading Forex
In the final section of the webinar we explain the power of using the renko indicator for MT4/MT5 when used in combination with time based charts and applying the other Quantum Trading indicators. The Renko indicator is a powerful tool for trading forex. It focuses on price movement. Time is ignored. Bricks form only when price changes by a set amount. This filters noise. Trends appear clearer.
How Renko Charts Work in Forex
Renko bricks are simple. Green for up moves. Red for down. Brick size is customizable—small for scalping, larger for trends. In volatile pairs like GBP/JPY or EUR/USD, Renko removes chop. Volume price analysis (VPA) pairs perfectly—high volume on brick formation confirms conviction.
Benefits for Forex Traders
Renko helps spot trends early. Long brick runs show momentum. Reversals appear as color changes. Avoid ranging markets—flat bricks signal wait. Quantum's Renko Optimizer on MT5 or NinjaTrader finds ideal brick sizes automatically. This enhances VPA signals.
Practical Tips
Start with...
There are many advantages to using a Renko chart one of which is it can help to deliver good trading opportunities even in difficult, tight range markets. One example is from the gbp/aud on a quiet day yet when set at a fixed value of 2 pips per brick managed to produce over 80 pips.
The version of the Renko shown here is for MT5 and allows traders to select either a fixed value (as we have on the chart) or use the ATR function that is built into the indicator.
And this chart also includes the Quantum trends and trend monitor which can help with entries and exits as well as holding a trend....
Currency Indicators Lead the Way as London Forex Markets Open
Currency indicators lead the way as London forex markets open. High liquidity drives relational moves. Strong currencies pull ahead quickly. Weak ones fall behind. This sets the tone for the day.

Why Indicators Shine at London Open
The London session overlaps with Europe. Volume surges early. Currency strength and matrix indicators highlight extremes fast. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms conviction—high volume on moves supports rankings.

Using Tick and Time Charts to Scalp Emini Futures
Scalping Emini futures demands speed and precision. Tick charts and time charts together provide the edge. Tick charts group price by trades, not time. This reveals pure momentum. Time charts add structure and context.
After the previous day's FED meeting, US indices came off their highs with sentiment shifting from risk on to risk off, with the futures moving lower intraday. The lack of momentum was clearly shown on the tick charts for the ES emini using the Quantum Tickspeedometer indicator.
Why Combine Tick and Time Charts
Time charts (e.g., 1-minute or 5-minute) show fixed intervals. They highlight trends and support/resistance. Tick charts (e.g., 233-tick or 500-tick) remove time noise. They react instantly to volume surges. In fast Emini markets like ES or NQ, this combination filters chop and spots surges early.
Volume Price Analysis (VPA) Confirmation
Volume price analysis (VPA) is essential for scalping. High tick speed with rising volume confirms momentum. Low speed on price...

How They Work Together
The currency matrix shows cross-pair dynamics. The array ranks strength visually. Together, they highlight extremes during London open. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms conviction—high volume on moves supports the ranking.
Trading Benefits in London Session
