As the London forex market gets underway, equity markets signal a reversal in sentiment along with risk currency flows such as the AUD/JPY. It is interesting to note the currency strength indicator on the daily timeframe with the commodity currencies heavily oversold and risk currencies overbought, so setting up for some excellent longer term trading opportunities for the yen currency pairs.

A Morning for the Volatility Indicator and the Volume Point of Control!
A morning of high volatility hit the forex markets. Trade talks between US and China drove the action. Uncertainty sparked sharp moves. Majors like EUR/USD and GBP/USD swung wildly. This created opportunities—and traps.
With the forex markets in a febrile state as trade talks between the US and China continue to rumble on, it was a morning when the volatility indicator and volume point of control indicators from Quantum Trading were much in evidence. And not only on the currency markets but also on Globex for the indices, which reflect this ebb and flow in risk sentiment, which in turn is mirrored in risk assets and risk currencies.
Volatility Indicator in Action
The Quantum volatility indicator signalled early. Spikes highlighted expansion phases. High readings warned of big swings. Traders prepared for momentum. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirmed—high volume on moves showed conviction. Low-volume spikes revealed false breakouts.

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.
Step 3:...
Once again it is the power of the volatility indicator which is revealed as the forex markets exploded into life ahead of the London open, with the Japanese Yen and the Swiss Franc selling off sharply, with equally strong buying of the commodity currencies. With the volatility indicator signalling a move outside the average true range, and with indices also spiking them reversing, a strong reversal then took place as expected.

Currency Indicators Lead the Way as London Forex Markets Open
Currency indicators lead the way as London forex markets open. High liquidity drives relational moves. Strong currencies pull ahead quickly. Weak ones fall behind. This sets the tone for the day. The currency strength indicator and the currency matrix along with the currency array for MT5 and NinjaTrader were much in evidence as the London forex session opened with markets becalmed after the last few days of furious price action!
Why Indicators Shine at London Open
The London session overlaps with Europe. Volume surges early. Currency strength and matrix indicators highlight extremes fast. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms conviction—high volume on moves supports rankings.
Practical Trading Tips
Focus on outliers for high-probability trades. Pair strongest with weakest currencies. Quantum tools on MT5 or NinjaTrader make this visual and easy. Anna Coulling's approach uses relational analysis to spot flows at open.
