Whether trading forex or any other market, using multiple timeframes is a key element of technical trading, and in the London forex session we show you what you need to consider and issues when using the daily timeframe.

What a combination, and even in thin markets, the renko indicator from Quantum Trading with the trend monitor and trends indicators deliver. With the US markets closed for the 4th July celebrations, volumes were thin, but with the renko indicator coupled with the trends and trend monitor indicator scalping trades were delivered....
A terrific trading session as the London markets gets underway with heavy selling of the British pound across the complex and clearly signaled on the currency matrix indicator for MT5.

Using multiple timeframes is one of the keys to trading success and in this morning's forex session we explain why, and using several of the GBP pairs.
The reasons are many. First, using this approach reveals how price action in one timeframe, can reveal so much in another. Overlaying two candles is easy, but doing this with several is hard and almost impossible to do quickly. The Quantum Trading indicators for MT5 and NinjaTrader then help, with different signals in different timeframes. One may be signaling a change in trend which is developing, or perhaps a volatility signal is triggered.
Finally, the price action itself reveals areas of support and resistance, of deep concentrations of volume which are not apparent on the timeframe of choice. All of these then provide the pieces of the jigsaw, which answer the simple question 'where is the market heading next?' And all underpinned of course by volume price analysis, which again offers powerful insights when applied...

Another excellent forex trading session for the European and London open with the pound and the euro in focus as the Far East and Asia session comes to a close. With the US dollar selling off this helped to propel many of the major currency pairs, and with strong euro buying on the faster timeframes, the euro dollar was certainly one which delivered, with the British pound also following suit and helped higher with the Barnier bounce.
Once again the currency strength indicator highlights the pairs to consider with the euro rising strongly and counterbalanced with an equally strong move lower for the US dollar, with the British pound moving in to overbought on the faster timeframes, with the currency array then The key as always is in using multiple timeframes and blending time and non time based charts to deliver all the key pieces of the jigsaw. As always some great volume price analysis lessons in this session with the...
The currency strength indicator on the daily timeframe has been signalling the UK pound as strongly overbought (yellow line) and the Japanese yen (magenta line) as oversold for some time, and today has finally seen the pair move lower following last week's extended congestion phase in the 151 area of the chart.
This period of price action was preceded with the two bar reversal, sending an intial signal of weakness following the overreaction to hawkish comments from the BOE, with wide spread price action in the up move, not supported or validated with volume. |For any such move, volumes should have been dramatically higher, a clear sign of the lack of participation by the insiders, and signal of a trap being set. The trap has now been sprung and helped lower with weak UK economic data as the new month begins.
As we can see from the currency strength indicator on the left we have some way to go, and moving to...
Good to see the Kiwi on a bit of tear (the white line on the currency strength indicator), but comes as no surprise given how oversold it was at the end of last week. We've been tracking the NZD/USD which has had a huge move higher overnight & broken through the VPOC on the daily chart and is now touching the 100 ma.
As we mentioned in yesterday's webinar although December price action can often seem erratic, it can nonetheless offer some great trading opportunities. And those of you who come along regularly to our webinars will know David & I are great fans of both the Kiwi and Aussie! You can register for the trading webinars here.
The hourly currency strength indicator is showing some great potential set ups. Have a great trading day....
Mario Draghi's comments at the ECB conference regarding further stimulus has led to a dramatic fall in the euro across the board, and the eurodollar in particular. This weakness, however, was first signaled last week, and has been developing since the start of the trading week, and is a follow through from the two bar reversal posted on the daily chart.
Today's price action on the eurodollar daily chart has resulted in a volatility candle being triggered given the extreme move, and if there is no follow through, then it should be surprise to see the price action simply retreat to within the spread of today's candle.
In addition today's price move has seen the eurodollar move back through the volume point of control.

Eurodollar continues to frustrate traders, and it's easy to see why. Since the failure to breach 1.1713 the pair has retreated back into the range of the VPOC (volume point of control) in the 1.1170 region where it continues to remain waterlogged.
With end of month and end of quarter position squaring we will have to wait to see whether eurodollar can finally break away from this region. From a technical perspective the heavy selling of 6 weeks ago is self evident with the extreme volume and deep upper wick to the candle telling their own story. Since then the pivots have helped to define the floor and ceiling of the congestion zone, and with volume now building on the VPOC histogram any move away is likely to be extreme and accompanied with strong participation.
The key level to any move to the downside is 1.1128 where strong support awaits.
