Using the Currency Dashboard Indicators in the European and London Sessions
The European and London forex sessions offer high liquidity. This creates clear relational moves. Quantum's currency dashboard indicators shine here. The four tools—currency strength indicator, currency array, currency heatmap, and currency matrix—work together. They reveal sentiment and opportunities fast.
An earlier session than usual which began at 7am and through into the London forex session at 8am, and as always a time when the volatility indicator works overtime as the market crossover brings the market makers in to feed. Rather like sharks waiting for the shoals of small fish as feeding time approaches! And we were not disappointed as we focused on the GBP in particular along with the euro.
Currency Strength Indicator for Early Leaders
The currency strength indicator ranks currencies in real time. At European open, it spots emerging strength. London overlap amplifies extremes. High rankings signal leaders. Pair strong with weak for trends. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms—high volume on...

Step 1: Start with the Currency Strength Indicator
In the London forex session we explain how to apply some of the currency trading tools and indicators for MT5 and Ninjatrader on time based charts, before moving to the renko indicator with the trend monitor and trends indicators.
The currency in focus was the euro across the complex with strong moves for the pound and the US dollar.
The Currency Strength Indicator ranks major currencies live. Strong ones rise to the top. Weak fall to the bottom. Extremes highlight opportunities:
Top currency vs bottom = strong trend potential.
Sustained extremes = momentum trade.
Fading extremes = reversal setup.
This is your starting point—scan for relational leaders fast.
Step 2: Confirm with the Currency Matrix and Heatmap
The Matrix grids all pairs. It shows cross-pair bias. Bold colors flag momentum. The Heatmap adds intensity—deep green/red cells signal active pairs.
Look for alignment:
Strong currency in CSI = green cells in matrix row.
This relational confluence identifies high-conviction trades.

How to Hunt Out the Trades in the London Forex Session
The London forex session is a trader's hunting ground. From 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM GMT, liquidity surges as Europe joins the action. Volatility creates opportunities. Majors and crosses move sharply. But finding the best trades requires tools. Volume price analysis (VPA) and Quantum indicators reveal them clearly.
More terrific trading opportunities in the London forex session, from the monthly chart to the minute, and using the Quantum Trading tools and indicators with volume price analysis.
Why London Session Delivers Trades
London handles ~40% of daily forex volume. Institutional flows peak. European data (PMI, ECB) drives early momentum. Overlap with US later amplifies it. This combination creates trends, breakouts, and reversals. VPA spots conviction—high volume on moves shows real intent.
Hunting Tools: Quantum Indicators Lead the Way
Start with the Quantum dashboard:
Currency Strength Indicator: Ranks currencies live. Extremes highlight leaders—strong GBP or EUR for longs.
Currency Matrix: Relational grid shows cross-pair bias. Bold colors...
In the US forex session focus was on the euro and the British pound, both of which benefitted from fundamental news, with the GBP rising strongly on retail sales and the single currency falling on an inflation report from the ECB. All of this was revealed on the currency matrix and the currency strength indicators from Quantum Trading.

Aussie Dollar the One to Watch on the Currency Strength Indicator and Currency Matrix
The Aussie dollar is the one to watch right now. It stands out on the currency strength indicator. AUD ranks high against majors. This signals relative strength. The currency matrix confirms it with bold colors across pairs.
In the London forex session, the pair to watch was the AUD/CAD with the Aussie dollar rising strongly and the Canadian dollar falling equally strongly on the faster timeframes of the currency strength indicator, with the currency matrix indicator confirming this sentiment.
Why AUD Leads the Pack
Commodity links drive AUD performance. Rising risk appetite boosts it. Volume price analysis (VPA) supports the move—high volume on up candles shows conviction. Quantum's strength indicator and matrix on MT5 or NinjaTrader highlight AUD extremes clearly.
Trading Insights for AUD Focus
Pair AUD with weaker currencies like JPY or EUR for trends. Watch AUD/USD or AUD/JPY. Pullbacks with volume buying offer entries. Anna Coulling's VPA approach uses relational...
The London forex session delivered a terrific trade on the GBP/AUD, as strength in the Aussie dollar coupled with weakness in the British pound sent the pair falling overnight and into Europe. A great example of how to use the trend monitor indicator across multiple timeframes, and its power at keeping you in to maximise profits with the currency strength indicator signalling those all important reversals and pullbacks.

The accumulation and distribution indicator for NinjaTrader was in focus during this futures trading session, as the primary emini indices move sideways ahead of the FOMC minutes later in the day. These levels are key to defining support and resistance levels which then provide potential entry points once the markets break away from these regions.

The British pound remains very much in focus in this forex trading session, with the commodity currencies then providing some nice reversal trading opportunities.

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...
Which Pairs Should I Focus On as a Forex Beginner and Why?
As a forex beginner, the market can feel overwhelming with dozens of pairs. But starting smart is key. Focus on the major pairs. These involve the US dollar (USD) and another strong currency. They offer the best conditions for learning. Here's why—and which to prioritize.
The Major Pairs: Your Starting Point
The seven majors:
EUR/USD (Eurodollar): Most traded. Tightest spreads. Reacts to ECB/Fed policy.
GBP/USD (Cable): Volatile but liquid. UK data drives swings.
USD/JPY: Yen safe-haven flows. Low spreads.
USD/CHF: Swiss stability vs USD.
AUD/USD: Commodity-linked Aussie.
USD/CAD: Oil-driven CAD.
NZD/USD: Kiwi, similar to AUD.
These account for ~85% of forex volume.
Why Majors Are Best for Beginners
High Liquidity: Fast execution. Minimal slippage—even in news.
Tight Spreads: Low costs (0.0-1 pip on ECN). Profits easier to keep.
Reliable Volume: Tick data consistent—perfect for volume price analysis (VPA). High volume moves show real conviction.
Predictable Behavior: Clear trends or ranges. Easier to learn...
