July 17, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

Forex Weekly Outlook: Key Fundamentals for July 20–24 & Implications for Majors + USD (QTS Forex Focus) Hi traders - after a volatile week dominated by geopolitics and softer US inflation, next week brings a lighter but still meaningful fundamental calendar. With the ECB decision on Thursday and various inflation/PMI prints, we could see fresh directional moves across the majors and clear opportunities in USD pairs. Here’s a focused breakdown of the key events and how they may influence the US Dollar (DXY) and major currency pairs. High-Impact Events Next Week Monday (July 20): US Leading Economic Indicators Tuesday (July 21): UK CPI & Unemployment Thursday (July 23): ECB Monetary Policy Decision + Press Conference Friday (July 24): US New Home Sales, Flash Manufacturing & Services PMIs (various countries) Geopolitical developments (US-Iran tensions and oil prices) remain an ongoing backdrop that can override scheduled data.

Mastering Forex: Why Serious Traders Use Specialist Visual Tools Such As Currency Strength Indicators to Win Consistently

May 17, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

Mastering Forex: Why Serious Traders Use Specialist Visual Tools to Win Consistently The foreign exchange (forex) market is the largest and most liquid financial market on the planet. With an average daily turnover exceeding $7.5 trillion (according to the latest BIS Triennial Survey), it dwarfs the global stock market. Forex operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, across major financial centres from Tokyo to London to New York. Currencies are traded in pairs, and every single transaction reflects the relative strength of two economies, two sets of interest rates, and two outlooks on growth, inflation, and geopolitics.Unlike stocks or commodities, you’re never really buying an “asset” in isolation — you’re always comparing two currencies. When you go long EUR/USD, you’re simultaneously buying the Euro and selling the US Dollar. This constant interplay makes forex uniquely challenging… and incredibly rewarding for those who learn to read the bigger picture. The Reality of Forex Trading Most retail traders jump straight into a single...

The fear of missing out at the London open!

March 26, 2020January 16, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/8CI9gn59Tec The Fear of Missing Out at the London Open! The fear of missing out (FOMO) hits hard at the London open. High liquidity drives sharp moves. Traders rush in, fearing they'll miss the action. This often leads to emotional entries and traps. There are many traps set for the unwary forex trader and the London session crossover is one which occurs each day at precisely the same time. It is immensely profitable for the market makers as so many traders are unaware of this simple trap which plays on the fear of missing out, or FOMO. The volatility indicator is very evident and signals either congestion or a reversal from the primary trend to the primary trend. Why FOMO Traps Traders London's opening overlaps with Europe. Volume surges early. Price gaps or spikes trigger FOMO. Many buy highs or sell lows without confirmation. Volume price analysis (VPA) exposes these traps—low volume on spikes shows weakness. Avoiding FOMO with Discipline Wait for volume confirmation. High volume on...

The currency heatmap leads the way

February 26, 2019January 19, 2026 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/BZ2qffQoq0w 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. The Currency Heatmap Leads the Way The currency heatmap is a trader's quick-scan superpower. It...
