Trend Trading Using a Currency Strength Meter
Trend trading becomes easier with a currency strength meter. It ranks currencies by performance. Strong currencies lead trends. Weak ones lag behind. This reveals clear relational opportunities.
Combining with Volume Price Analysis
Volume price analysis (VPA) supercharges the meter. Focus on extreme rankings for sustained trends. High volume on moves confirms conviction. Quantum Trading's meter includes alerts for timely entries on MT4/MT5 or NinjaTrader.
Benefits and Practical Tips
This approach simplifies trend identification. Pair strongest with weakest currencies. Avoid middling pairs in choppy markets. Anna Coulling's methodology uses the meter to ride trends longer with confidence.
Master trend trading with this tool. Quantum indicators make spotting and staying in moves straightforward.

GBP/USD Potential Reversal: Classic VPA Cycle in Action
GBP/USD shows a classic volume price analysis (VPA) cycle. It starts with congestion. Price ranges tightly. Volume stays low. This builds pressure.
This is a perfect example of Cable in a congestion, followed by the breakaway,then comes the trend and now possibly a reversal.
Breakaway and Trend Phase
A breakaway follows. Price escapes congestion on high volume. This confirms conviction. Trend develops steadily. Up candles widen with rising volume. Quantum Trend Monitor stays aligned, supporting longs.
Signs of Potential Reversal
Now, reversal signals emerge. Price hits highs on falling volume—divergence warns of weakness. Distribution appears. Quantum Accumulation/Distribution indicator turns negative. A bearish candle on volume spike suggests exhaustion.
Trading Lessons from This Cycle
This GBP/USD example teaches patience. Congestion builds setups. Breakaways with volume validate trends. Reversals need confirmation—wait for divergence. Anna Coulling's VPA methodology spots these phases early. Quantum tools on MT5 or NinjaTrader make them visual.
Watch GBP/USD closely. Potential reversal could shift momentum. Use VPA with Quantum indicators...

What Relational Analysis Reveals About Sentiment and Risk
Relational analysis is a core part of modern forex trading. It examines how currencies perform against each other. This reveals hidden sentiment and risk appetite. Single-pair views miss the big picture. Relational tools show the full market mood. Sentiment in the financial markets is expressed as risk-on or risk-off, and following the release of Chinese data overnight, market reaction could best be described as mixed with not universal agreement in risk asset classes.
Sentiment Signals from Relational Strength
Relational analysis highlights risk-on or risk-off sentiment. Strong commodity currencies like AUD or NZD signal risk-on. Investors favor growth assets. Weak safe-havens like JPY or CHF confirm this. Reverse for risk-off—yen and Swiss franc lead rankings.
Risk Appetite and Currency Flows
High relational extremes reveal risk levels. AUD/JPY rising shows appetite for risk. Falling pair warns of caution. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms—high volume on moves validates sentiment. Quantum currency matrix and strength indicator on MT5 or NinjaTrader make...

How to Find the Best Times to Trade Forex Based on Volatility
Forex markets aren't equally volatile 24/5. Volatility spikes during high-liquidity overlaps. This creates bigger moves and better opportunities. Low-volatility periods often range—frustrating for trend traders. Finding the "best" times means matching your style to session volatility.
Throughout the trading session, volatility ebbs and flows and knowing when to trade and when to wait is key. In this session from the US futures trading session, we take a closer look at this aspect of trading through the prism of volatility.
Major Forex Sessions and Volatility Levels
The forex day divides into three main sessions (times in GMT, adjust for daylight saving):
Asian Session (Tokyo: ~00:00-09:00 GMT)
Low to moderate volatility.
Focus: JPY pairs (USD/JPY, AUD/JPY). Commodity currencies (AUD, NZD) move on China/Australia data.
Best for: Ranges or carry trades. Avoid if you need big swings.
London Session (08:00-17:00 GMT)
High volatility—liquidity surges at open.
EUR, GBP pairs dominate. Overlap with Europe drives early...
Sessions crossovers arrive daily and the big one is always when the London forex market gets underway with the deepest liquidity. This is when the market makers are at their most active from 8am UK time with volatility, reversals and congestion following. Some of the traps are on high volume as the market makers participate, others on low volume, but all are clearly signalled with volume price analysis and the volatility indicator for MT4, MT5, NinjaTrader or Tradestation.

Watch Out for More Traps on Volatility and the News!
Volatility and news go hand in hand in forex trading. Releases create sharp moves. But they also set traps. False breakouts catch impatient traders. This is common in GBP/USD during European data. Here it's the GBP/USD as European data is released with the PMI data for France and Germany with the volatility indicator for MT5 and NinjaTrader signalling this clearly in all timeframes.
European PMI Data and GBP/USD Volatility
European PMI data for France and Germany drives early action. Strong figures boost risk sentiment. Weak ones favor caution. GBP/USD reacts fast. Volatility spikes at release. But not all moves last.
How Traps Form on News
News spikes often lack volume support. Price breaks levels. Traders chase. But low volume reveals weakness. Reversal follows. Volume price analysis (VPA) spots this—high price on low volume = trap.
Quantum Volatility Indicator Signals
The Quantum volatility indicator on MT5 and NinjaTrader signals clearly. It highlights expansion phases across timeframes. Spikes warn...
Many of the currency market pairs remain rangebound and trading in congestion ranges as risk on and risk off oscillates with the ebb and flow of pandemic news daily, with fundamental data taking a secondary role.
