Volatility, VPOC and accumulation and distribution indicators in focus in this session
Some great price action on crude oil driven by the weekly oil inventories, whilst the US indices remained rangebound.

Currency Matrix and Array in Focus During the London Forex Session
The London forex session puts the currency matrix and array in sharp focus. High liquidity drives relational moves. Strong currencies pull ahead. Weak ones lag behind. This reveals sentiment early. Another lively forex session using the Quantum Trading tools and indicators. Look out for some great moves in the GBP/JPY on the renko chart.
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
Focus on outliers for high-probability trades. Pair strongest with weakest currencies. Quantum tools on MT5 or NinjaTrader make this simple. Anna Coulling's approach uses relational analysis to spot flows and opportunities.
London session volatility amplifies these signals. Use the matrix and array for clearer, confident trading. Quantum indicators turn data into actionable insights.

The volume point of control confirmed it all!

The Volume Point of Control Confirmed It All!
The Volume Point of Control (VPOC) often confirms it all in trading sessions. It marks the price level with the highest traded volume. This acts as "fair value". Price gravitates here. Breaks or bounces reveal market intent.
Another session for day trading the US indices where patience and more patience was required, but as always it’s volume spread analysis coupled with the Quantum Trading tools and indicators which helps to keep us safe and stop us from jumping in and then regretting this decision. The volatility indicator was once again much in evidence as indeed was the accumulation and distribution indicator for NinjaTrader, helping to define those key levels of price support and resistance which are so important.
The volume point of control was also much in evidence with the primary US indices of the ES, the YM, and the NQ all rotating around key levels as price agreement was reached in the faster timeframes....
Volume price analysis and the British pound
Another interesting session with the British pound once again in focus for several reasons.
First of course Brexit continues to dominate the news, and whenever an item of fundamental news is released it is the context of the bigger picture, and therefore has relatively little impact. Second, a volume price analysis anomaly was clearly in evidence on the daily chart for the GBP/AUD. Here we saw a wide spread up candle, yet the associated volume was not in agreement with such a strong move. Clearly the market makers were not participating in the move higher, with the pair duly rolling over a few days later to deliver a clear trading opportunity to the short side.
Finally we focused on the new release of retail sales to demonstrate volume price analysis in action on the 1 minute timeframe, and moreover the trap moves initiated on any such release, with the volatility indicator revealing its true power.

Cycles explained with the currency strength indicator and volume price analysis
https://youtu.be/wIBw-heIsts
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.

Great forex session with the GBP/AUD, the GBP/JPY and the AUD/JPY all in focus
A great forex session this morning in the live webinar with David and myself, and one where we were spoilt for choice in terms of trading lessons and also trading opportunities. The pairs we chose were the GBP/AUD on the MT5 platform and the AUD/JPY on the NinjaTrader platform, before moving to look at the GBP/JPY later in the webinar and of course all analysed through the prism of volume price analysis and the Quantum Trading tools and indicators. For the GBP/AUD is was a case of further heavy selling in this pair and reflected in the time based charts supported by the MT5 renko chart. As always the currency strength indicator signalled the strength of the move and again using multiple timeframes giving the clear signals we need to select the currency or currency pair for further analysis. One of the keys to success is in applying volume price analysis which then helps to identify whether a reversal is...
Classic VPA on GBP/JPY
Classic VPA on GBP/JPY
GBP/JPY often delivers classic volume price analysis (VPA) signals. This yen cross is volatile. It reacts strongly to risk sentiment. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of traps.
A classic VPA on 5 min chart of GBP/JPY on the release of NFP today. Huge down candle on light volume, before we saw a switch back higher as market absorbed poor numbers, and likelihood of a September FED hike in interest rates disappear faster than snow in July.
The trigger of the volatility indicator (purple arrows) also signaled high probability of a re-trace to within spread of the down candle. Volume simply validated this point.
Indeed, FED Funds Rate now pricing in a 44% probability of a rise in rates in December, which is a re-run of last year's interest rate saga. As of yesterday FED funds showing a 30% probability of a rise in September
Spotting Accumulation and Distribution
Look for accumulation on down candles with rising volume. This...
