Gold Trading Analysis
Gold trading analysis requires understanding commodity drivers. Price action alone can mislead. Volume price analysis (VPA) reveals true intent. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of weakness.
A look at the daily and weekly charts for gold following its recent move higher, which appears to be driven by the meltdown in the crypto space and not the ongoing raging inflation and geopolitical worries. The charts speak for themselves, and the question is whether the precious metal can maintain the bullish momentum. The volume price analysis signals on the daily confirm a slowdown and correction with the key resistance levels on the weekly confirming.
Key VPA Signals in Gold

Learn How to Day Trade Stocks Using the Volume Price Analysis Methodology
Day trading stocks requires precision and discipline. The volume price analysis (VPA) methodology provides both. It combines price action with trading volume. This reveals true market intent. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of weakness or traps.
Core VPA Principles for Stock Day Trading
Focus on intraday charts. Look for widening candles with rising volume—sign of strength. Narrow candles on low volume signal indecision. Divergence between price and volume spots reversals early. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or TradingView highlight these signals visually.
Practical Day Trading Strategies
Identify trend direction on higher timeframes. Enter on volume-confirmed pullbacks in lower timeframes. Avoid chasing low-volume spikes. Use support/resistance validated by volume clusters. Anna Coulling's VPA methodology turns day trading into consistent opportunities. Quantum Trend Monitor and Accumulation/Distribution tools enhance timing.
This approach reduces emotional decisions. Master VPA for confident stock day trading. Quantum indicators make it reliable across sessions. Start applying today for stronger...
In this video, we explain how to trade index futures using multiple timeframes in choppy markets. Some traders prefer to wait on the sidelines until stronger trends develop in the slower timeframes, but if you are comfortable with scalping on fast charts then there is money to be made, even when the emini futures are in congestion.

How Index Trading Works: A Beginner's Guide to Futures
Learn how index trading works in the second part of the US day trading session.
Index trading lets you speculate on the performance of stock market indices (like the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, or Dow Jones) without buying individual stocks. The most common way is through futures contracts traded on exchanges like the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange). These are standardised agreements to buy or sell the index at a future date, but most traders close positions before expiration for profit/loss based on price changes.
How Futures Work (Basics)
Futures are derivative contracts:
Long or Short: Go long (buy) if you expect the index to rise. Go short (sell) if you expect it to fall.
Leverage: You don't pay the full value upfront. Deposit "margin" (a fraction, e.g., 5-10%). This amplifies gains/losses.
Tick Value: Each point move has a dollar value. Profit/loss = points moved × tick value × contracts.
Expiration: Contracts expire quarterly (March, June, September,...

Trading Lessons for Day Traders – and a Wonderful Trade on Gold
Day trading is fast and demanding. Success comes from discipline, not luck. These key lessons help day traders thrive. They apply across markets—forex, indices, commodities. Volume price analysis (VPA) is central. A recent gold trade shows them in action.
Lesson 1: Risk Management First
Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Limit each trade to 1% of capital. Use stops always. Day trading amplifies emotions—one bad move hurts. VPA places stops intelligently—beyond high volume levels.
Lesson 2: Patience for Confirmation
Wait for setups. Avoid FOMO—chasing spikes often traps traders. VPA teaches this—high volume on moves confirms conviction. Low volume warns of weakness.
Lesson 3: Let Winners Run, Cut Losers Fast
Hold strong trades. Exit weak ones quickly. VPA helps—high volume continuation = trail stops. Divergence or low volume = exit signal.
Lesson 4: Focus on Process, Not Outcome
Journal trades. Review VPA signals. Learn from losses. Quantum Trend Monitor aligns direction—this builds consistency.

We are about to enter a unique confluence of events, the like of which we have never seen before, or likely to see again and ones which could ultimately deliver not one black swan event but possibly two over the coming months and in this video we explain why. Whilst for day traders this is likely to present some wonderful trading opportunities, for longer term investors who perhaps have joined the rally late, the events of the next few weeks and months are likely to be painful and one only has to consider the VIX which continues to remain stubbornly high in the mid-20's and showing no signs of falling as the rally continues on weakening volumes.
No one knows when the next black swan event is coming—and that's the whole point.
A "black swan" (coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book The Black Swan) is an event that:
Is extremely rare and unpredictable (outside normal expectations).
Has massive, widespread consequences.

Many traders never use a non time based chart, but this is a mistake, as such charts reveal the one thing a time based chart never does, which is momentum. And when used in multiples, this approach is evern more powerful, particularly when used as a blend with time based chart. Discover how in this portion of the US futures web class.
