A Very Bearish Day Across Markets: Risk-Off Sentiment Offers Plenty of Choices
An extraordinary day for intraday traders as risk-off sentiment took hold, driving the markets with momentum, and creating a perfect storm. For scalping and intraday traders the biggest problem was in deciding which instruments and markets to trade with a myriad of opportunities in all timeframes. As always volume price analysis provided all the signals supported by the Quantum Trading tools and indicators.
What a day—bearish momentum dominated all markets. Risk-off sentiment took control. Equities plunged. Commodity currencies weakened. Safe-havens surged. Traders were spoilt for choice with short opportunities. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirmed conviction—high volume on down moves showed real selling pressure.
Why Risk-Off Delivered Today
Global uncertainty drove fear. Equities sold off sharply. Growth concerns resurfaced. This favored safe-havens. Yen and Swiss franc strengthened. Gold rallied. Commodity pairs like AUD/JPY or CAD/JPY fell hard. VPA spotted this—high volume down candles validated bearish intent. Low volume bounces = weak buying, perfect...
There are many advantages to using a Renko chart one of which is it can help to deliver good trading opportunities even in difficult, tight range markets. One example is from the gbp/aud on a quiet day yet when set at a fixed value of 2 pips per brick managed to produce over 80 pips.
The version of the Renko shown here is for MT5 and allows traders to select either a fixed value (as we have on the chart) or use the ATR function that is built into the indicator.
And this chart also includes the Quantum trends and trend monitor which can help with entries and exits as well as holding a trend....
Another excellent session as the US markets get underway with risk on returning with the primary indices all climbing and driven by a currency pact between the US and China. Focus on the session was on the YM emini, with the Yen index falling strongly and reflecting this sentiment. The yen was sold strongly on the currency strength indicator, the Yen index, and on the currency future of the 6J JPY/USD all reinforcing the picture and offering a low risk trading opportunity.

How to Use the Quantum Trading Indicators to Day Trade Emini Futures
Day trading emini futures offers high liquidity and fast moves. Indices like ES (S&P 500), NQ (Nasdaq), or YM (Dow) are popular. Quantum Trading indicators provide a clear edge. They build on volume price analysis (VPA) by Anna Coulling. This reveals true market intent through volume.
Day trading emini futures with Quantum Trading indicators provides a robust edge by combining volume price analysis (VPA) with powerful visual tools designed for intraday precision. Developed by Anna Coulling, these indicators—such as the Trend Monitor, Accumulation/Distribution, TickSpeedometer, and Volume Point of Control—help traders spot genuine participation, trend strength, and potential reversals on platforms like NinjaTrader.
Start by identifying the dominant trend on higher timeframes, then drill down to lower charts for entries: high volume on up candles confirms buying conviction, while anomalies signal weakness. Use the Trend Monitor to stay in winning moves longer and avoid premature exits. With real-time alerts and clear signals,...
Scalping indices on NinjaTrader using 15-second charts demands speed, precision, and reliable signals in fast-moving markets. This ultra-short timeframe captures rapid momentum shifts, ideal for high-volume sessions like London or US opens, but requires tools to filter noise. Volume price analysis (VPA) is key: look for high-volume spikes confirming breakouts or reversals, avoiding low-volume traps.
Quantum Trading indicators enhance this approach—the TickSpeedometer reveals participation surges, Trend Monitor keeps you aligned, and Volume Point of Control highlights key levels. Start with major indices like YM or NQ, enter on confirmed volume surges, and use tight stops for quick exits. Combined with disciplined risk management, this setup turns 15-second charts into a scalper's edge on NinjaTrader.

Using Tick Charts and Renko Charts to Day Trade Indices on NinjaTrader
Day trading indices like /ES (S&P 500), /NQ (Nasdaq), or /YM (Dow) demands precision in fast markets. Traditional time-based charts add noise from quiet periods. Tick charts and Renko charts solve this. They focus on activity or price movement. This reveals true momentum. NinjaTrader excels for these non-time-based views. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms signals. Quantum tools enhance them.
Tick Charts: Revealing Participation Surges
Tick charts form bars based on a fixed number of trades (ticks). Set 233 or 500 ticks per bar for indices. High activity creates bars fast. Low activity slows them. This shows momentum directly:
Fast bar formation = strong buying/selling pressure.
Surges signal conviction—enter in direction.
Quantum TickSpeedometer on NinjaTrader measures velocity live. High speed + high volume = real momentum. Low speed on spike = potential trap.
Renko Charts: Filtering Noise for Clean Trends
Renko charts form bricks on price moves (e.g., 5 points on /ES). No bricks in...

Gold Delivers During the Day Trading Session
It was another session where patience was required for index traders. But for gold traders, the US dollar gave the precious metal a helping hand lower and nice steady trade
Gold delivers strong opportunities during the day trading session. This precious metal reacts to risk sentiment. Volatility creates clear moves. Traders spot high-probability setups in XAU/USD.
Why Gold Shines in Day Sessions
Gold often leads intraday action. Safe-haven demand or risk-on flows drive it. US session overlap amplifies swings. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms conviction—high volume on moves shows real participation. Low volume spikes warn of traps.
VPA Signals for Gold Day Trading
Look for accumulation at lows. High volume support signals buying. Distribution at highs appears on low volume advances. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or MT5 highlight these. VPOC marks key levels. Trend Monitor aligns momentum.
Practical Tips for Gold Traders
Focus on London/US overlap for liquidity. Enter on volume-confirmed breakouts. Pullbacks with support offer entries. Anna Coulling's VPA approach...

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....

Basic Trading Lessons for New Traders in All Markets
Trading offers excitement and potential rewards. But most new traders lose money. Success comes from discipline, not luck. These basic lessons apply across all markets—forex, stocks, futures, commodities, or crypto. Volume price analysis (VPA) provides the foundation. Start here for long-term consistency.
Another great session with all the markets in focus from commodities and indices to stocks. Some great trading lessons here in all markets and timeframes on the NinjaTrader platform and using the Quantum Trading indicators.
1. Risk Management Comes First
Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Limit each trade to 1-2% of your account. Use stop losses always. This protects capital. One bad trade won't end your journey. VPA helps place stops—beyond high volume levels for conviction.
2. Patience Is Your Greatest Edge
Markets don't move every minute. Wait for high-probability setups. Avoid FOMO—chasing spikes often traps traders. VPA teaches patience—high volume on moves confirms real intent. Low volume extremes warn of...
