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...

In this video we focus on the currency matrix and how to use it in combination with the currency strength indicator. In this example from early in the London session bullish sentiment for the euro drives several pairs but the euro yen really does deliver, and we return to follow the price action later in the morning, as this pair continues to rise strongly. A fantastic example and supported of course by the Quantum currency strength indicator and the other tools and indicators on the charts themselves.
Understanding universal sentiment and flow is key to currency trading success, and the currency matrix indicator for MT5 delivers, visually and clearly in all time-frames showing you instantly which pairs are rising strongly and which perhaps are not following the general market sentiment....

In this session with Anna and David of Quantum trading, they focus here on the US markets and in particular the US indices using Quantum Trading indicators and tools for NinjaTrader. Using non time based charts is a popular approach for intraday traders, and in this session they focus on the NQ emini, the futures contract for the Nasdaq 100. The reason non time based charts are so popular is very simple, as they reveal market momentum, something you never see on a time based chart. As the market speeds up and slows down, so this is revealed graphically on the chart itself.
The two charting approaches used here are using renko and tick. Quantum Trading has developed a unique variant of the standard renko indicator and called the renko optimiser, which does exactly what it says. Selecting the optimal brick size is often just a guess, but not with this indicator which delivers the correct renko brick size for all...

In this morning's forex session with Anna and David of Quantum Trading, the session starts with Anna considering some of the fundamental drivers for the British pound, and of course Brexit. Over the next few months we are likely to see increasing volatility as the negotiations reach their conclusion. Whether agreement is reached or not, one thing you can be sure of is that each statement or announcement will send the pound sharply higher or lower across the complex.
The New Zealand dollar was the pair in focus on the NinjaTrader platform bringing together many of the VPA lessons on the faster timeframes, with a decisive move lower signalled across the complex on the currency array and also on the currency strength indicator. One of the key issues for all traders managing the emotional stress created when a market pauses and reverses, in other words from the primary into the secondary trend, before establishing the initial trend once more. Here we...

In this video we look at a great trend in the faster timeframes for the EUR/AUD and supported as always by the Quantum Trading indicators. The first of these is the tick volumes indicator which helps in the analysis of volume and price which is a key plank of technical analysis. Then we consider the trend monitor indicator which helps to keep us in through those inevitable pullbacks and reversals which occur in all trends higher or lower. The dynamic support and resistance indicator then plays its part defining those areas of stronger or weaker price levels where support and resistance are ket. Finally we touch on the pivots indicator and the volatility indicator. And all using the 20 minute chart for the MT5 platform....

In this session Anna and David look at some key stocks and what they said last year, and where they are now. These included Macy, General Electric, Trip Advisor and Kroger and all covered in Anna's book Stock Trading and Investing Using Volume Price Analysis. Some great examples of volume price analysis in action and whether you are an investor or stock trader, the lessons here can be applied across all timeframes and markets. And ofcourse, supported by the tools and indicators for NinjaTrader from Quantum Trading.
You can find all the analysis of these stocks in Anna's book, Stock Trading & Investing Using Volume Price Analysis on Amazon.
What this session also shows is how the Quantum Trading tools and indicators can be applied to all markets and all timeframes. In this session we were considering the daily and weekly timeframes for stocks using the NinjaTrader tools and indicators....

Even though the longer term trend for gold remains heavily bearish, there are always opportunities for intraday trading against the dominant trend, and here we are using the renko optimiser along with several other Quantum indicators. The renko optimiser delivers the optimal setting for the brick - no guesswork!!! So you are trading in tune with the market at the optimal brick size for any market and timeframe.
The indicator works by using average true range to deliver the brick size, and for gold this is delivered in cents per ounce. In the video we also consider the Trend Monitor and Trend dots, two great indicators which work so well with the renko chart, helping to keep us in the trend and maximise our profits. Holding a position through a reversal or pullback is immensely difficult and this is what the two indicators working in tandem do together. One works close to the price action, whilst the other steps back and takes...

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 search out the 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....

Support and resistance is a key component of the volume price analysis methodology and in the London session Anna and David use various examples in various timeframes to explain the underlying concepts, and supported with the Quantum Trading tools and indicators for MT4, MT5 and NinjaTrader.
In this session Anna and David look at several examples and in particular for the British pound and the euro as we move from the European open and into the London trading session. The pound has been in sharp focus for the last few weeks as Brexit concerns continue and the prospect of no deal with Europe. The longer term trend for the pound remains bearish but for how much longer?...
