Understanding Volume in Forex: Why Tick Data Is Our Proxy (Football Stadium Analogy)
Forex markets are decentralized. No single exchange tracks every trade like stocks or futures. This raises a question: How do we measure volume? The answer is tick data—a reliable proxy for activity. Volume price analysis (VPA) uses this to reveal market intent. High ticks show participation. Low ticks signal quiet periods.
The Football Stadium Analogy
Imagine a football stadium from the outside. You can't see inside. But you hear the crowd.
Stadium Quiet: Low noise. Little happening—few goals, boring game. This is low tick volume. Market inactive. Price barely moves. No conviction.
Stadium Roaring: Loud cheers. Constant excitement—goals, near misses. This is high tick volume. Intense activity. Price swings with momentum. Professionals driving action.
Ticks are price changes (up or down). Each tick = a trade executed. High ticks = roaring crowd—real participation. Low ticks = quiet stadium—no momentum.
Why Tick Volume Works as Proxy
Brokers aggregate tick data from liquidity providers. It...
When it comes to levels and flow trading forex, check out the Camarilla levels indicator. Trading forex is all about levels and flow and one of the most powerful indicators to do the heavy lifting of defining these for us is the Camarilla levels indicator. In addition on both TradingView and NinjaTrader we also have the accumulation and distribution indicator - another excellent tool which can be used in conjunction with the Camarilla levels indicator.

Currency Futures and Index Futures Deliver in the US Session
Currency futures and index futures often deliver strong moves in the US session. Overlap with New York brings high liquidity. Volume surges create clear trends and breakouts. Traders find reliable opportunities here.
Currency futures and index futures really delivered in the US sessions ahead of the key FOMC release later in the day with the US dollar rising strongly and indices falling in Globex. On Tradestation Global using 9.5 and the Interactive Brokers feed, this was all too evident across currency futures with a sea of red on Radarscreen.
Volume Price Analysis in the US Session
Volume price analysis (VPA) shines during US hours. High volume on futures moves shows conviction. Currency futures like 6E (euro) or 6B (pound) react to dollar flows. Index futures like ES or YM capture equity sentiment. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader highlight these signals.
Why This Session Stands Out
US session volatility rewards prepared traders. Watch for continuation from London or...

Trading a Basket of Currencies on TradingView and Understanding Reversal Trading
Forex trading benefits from relational analysis. A "basket" of currencies shows collective strength or weakness. TradingView is excellent for this. It offers multi-chart layouts and custom indicators. The Quantum Currency Strength tools enhance basket views. Reversal trading fits perfectly—spotting turns in basket extremes.
Creating a Currency Basket on TradingView
TradingView doesn't have built-in baskets like DXY. But you can build one:
Multi-Chart Layout: Open 8-16 charts (majors or crosses). Arrange in grid. Watch collective moves.
Quantum Currency Strength Indicator: Ranks currencies live. Top/bottom extremes = basket leaders/weak.
Currency Matrix: Grid view of all pairs. Spot relational clusters—strong basket vs weak.
Custom Scripts: Search Pine library for "currency basket" or "index" scripts. Or use DXY/EURO for proxies.
Focus on majors for liquidity. VPA confirms—high volume in basket direction validates momentum.
Reversal Trading in a Currency Basket
Reversal trading enters counter to the trend at exhaustion. Basket extremes signal these:
Overbought basket (all strong currencies top-ranked)—potential distribution.

Using the Currency Strength Indicator to Identify Forex Trading Reversal Opportunities
As we approach the year-end, for forex traders this represents a great time of year with plenty of volatility as volume falls in the run up to the holiday season. But this delivers plenty of excellent trading opportunities and the starting point as always is the currency strength indicator which helps to identify when a currency is overbought to oversold and hence guides you to the opportunities immediately.
From there, it's off to the charts, and check out the volume associated with any moves as you look for primary to primary trend reversals.
The CSI Is A Key Indicator
The currency strength indicator is a key tool for spotting forex reversals. It ranks currencies by relative performance. Extreme readings often signal overbought or oversold conditions. This highlights potential turning points before price fully reacts.
Combining with Volume Price Analysis
Volume price analysis (VPA) strengthens reversal signals from the indicator. Look for divergence: a currency at...
