Futures Trading Strategies Using Volume Price Analysis
Futures trading offers high leverage and liquidity. Volume price analysis (VPA) provides the edge. It combines price action with trading volume. This reveals true market intent. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of weakness or traps.
Core VPA Strategies for Futures
Focus on trend continuation. Rising prices with increasing volume confirm uptrends. Enter on pullbacks with volume support. For reversals, look for stopping volume—ultra-high volume halting declines. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader enhance this. Trend Monitor aligns direction. Accumulation/Distribution spots phases.
Practical Examples in Futures Markets
In emini indices like ES or NQ, high volume breakouts signal momentum. Oil futures (CL) show distribution on low volume highs. Use VPOC for key levels. Anna Coulling's VPA methodology applies universally—wait for volume confirmation before entries.
Benefits and Risk Management
VPA reduces false signals in volatile futures. Trail stops on volume-confirmed trends. Quantum tools make strategies visual and reliable. Combine with support/resistance for better risk-reward.

It's been a couple of days where markets have been focused on the Fed and J Powell's comments which helped to create the shakeout in US equities, a terrific day for the market makers who duly cleaned up and bought as panic set in. So where next? Well if you understand volume price analysis it's very clear.

Terrific price action swept US indices as the election settled. Uncertainty lifted. Markets reacted with strong momentum. Indices rallied sharply. This created clear trends and opportunities.

In the first part of the US day trading session I focus on the US 30 which is a great way to get started trading indices as it does not require a specialist futures brokers account and moves in the same way. And here I also explain the importance of levels and flows which define market sentiment as it moves between risk-on and risk-off in this and related markets. Levels can be defined in many ways and the most common are off course from a price based perspective, but here I also use volume and the Camarilla Levels indicator.

Wall Street Pauses After Explosive Rally as Bonds, Risk Currencies, and Equity Markets Reacted to the News
Wall Street pauses after an explosive rally. Markets digest the surge. Bonds, risk currencies, and equities all reacted. This intermarket dance reveals sentiment shifts. Traders watch for the next move. Wall Street was in sombre mood following the explosive move the previous day, where risk on sentiment dominated. Equity markets surged and risk currency sold off strongly and reflected equally in bond markets and yields.
Why the Pause After the Rally
Explosive rallies often end in pauses. Price pushes higher fast. But momentum fades. Volume price analysis (VPA) spots this—high price on low volume signals weakness. Quantum Trend Monitor on NinjaTrader shows alignment fading. Consolidation follows.
Intermarket Reactions: Bonds, Risk Currencies, and Equities
Bonds sold off as yields rose. This supported dollar strength. Risk currencies like AUD or NZD weakened initially. Equities paused—profit-taking emerged. VPA confirms relational flows—high volume in bonds correlates with equity caution.
