Trading a breakout from congestion using volume price analysis

Trading a breakout from congestion using volume price analysis

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
A nice congestion phase building on the 5m chart for the GBP/JPY and one which introduces several elements of volume price analysis. First we have support and resistance here we see a strong region of resistance building with the red dashed line. This is on the accumulation and distribution indicator which displays graphically the strength of such regions. In other words the thicker the line, the stronger the region, so a strong ceiling of resistance building at 129.75. In addition we are also trading at the volume point of control at 129.52. This is the fulcrum of the market at present with no bullish or bearish bias. In other words the market is in price agreement where we have the heaviest concentration of volume. The key now is to wait for the breakaway from this region which will come - it's a question of being patient and waiting. And on the move away we then move to consider the volume...

The currency heatmap leads the way

The currency heatmap leads the way

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
In this morning's session, one of the key indicators we focused on was the Quantum Trading currency heatmap, and the many ways it can be used, whether for longer term traders, or intraday scalping and swing trading opportunities. The currency heatmap delivers all the information in a single screen, delivering changes in sentiment from the fastest to the slowest timeframes, whilst also offering a ranking ladder of currency pairs at the extremes and therefore likely to reverse in due course. The currency heatmap is one of the four indicators on the currency dashboard, and this morning's forex trading session over delivered in every respect, as the currency strength indicator highlighted instantly those pairs offering trading opportunities, and those to avoid and leave alone. And from there, it's off to the charts, and then back to the currency matrix and the currency array to help confirm our trading decisions. https://youtu.be/BZ2qffQoq0w...

London forex session delivers great trading & volume price analysis lessons

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
A terrific trading session which once again had so many lessons for traders in all timeframes, emphasizing the power of volume price analysis and supported by the Quantum Trading tools and indicators. As so often happens at the session crossover periods, reversals take centre stage as the market makers move in to trap traders into weak positions. Putting Brexit to one side, the focus here was on the commodity currencies and in particular the cross-currency pairs of the euro, the Aussie dollar, and the Canadian dollar. The forex market is one of mean reversion and none more so at these times, when the market makers are at their most active. For the EUR/AUD the solid bearish trends intraday were duly reversed, but as always it's a question of identifying whether this is a change from a primary bearish to a primary bullish trend, or simply from a primary bearish to a secondary pullback or reversal before the primary is re-established once again....
