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.

Where to Start Your Forex Trading Day?
Starting your forex trading day the right way sets you up for success. Many traders jump in blindly. This leads to noise and missed opportunities. Think of it like fishing. You need a sonar system to scan the ocean. Find where the shoals of fish are—then cast your line.
The Quantum Trading tools and indicators are your sonar system on the market, helping you to search out the best trading opportunities throughout the session, and as with all the indicators, not simply helping you to choose the best trade, but once in, helping to keep you in and get out at the right time.
Setup Your Indicators Like a Sonar Scanner
Begin with a clean workspace on MT5 or NinjaTrader. Load the Quantum currency dashboard. This includes the currency strength indicator, matrix, array, and heatmap. They scan the market relationally. Strong currencies appear bright. Weak ones fade. This reveals "shoals"—high-probability pairs.
Scan for the Best "Fishing Spots"
The currency...
When currencies are moving in the same direction expect congestion as there is no force driving the two apart. When there is divergence, a trend develops and all is revealed on the currency strength indicator, whether for NinjaTrader, MT4, MT5 or TradingView.

Understanding how markets relate to one another can help both traders and investors. Volume price analysis and our Quantum tools make this a lot easier and in this video we consider how moves in the Japanese yen were a precursor to yesterday's dramatic market sell-off.
Trading with Intermarket Analysis
Intermarket analysis is a powerful approach for traders. It studies relationships between asset classes: stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies. These markets are interconnected. Moves in one influence others. Understanding this reveals broader sentiment. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms conviction across markets.
Core Intermarket Relationships
Key links drive trading insights:
Bonds and Stocks: Bond prices fall (yields rise) in risk-on—equities rally. Yields drop in risk-off—stocks weaken.
USD and Commodities: Strong USD pressures gold/oil lower (priced in dollars). Weak USD boosts them.
Oil and Commodity Currencies: High oil lifts CAD (Canada exporter). Low oil weakens it.
Gold and Safe-Havens: Risk-off surges gold and JPY/CHF.
Equities and Risk Currencies: Stocks up favors AUD/NZD.
These correlations shift but persist long-term.

As with stock traders and investors who analyze the stock, it's sector and fundamentals before investing, the same is true for forex traders. So it pays to get to know your currency well, and here Anna explains what you need to focus on using the Australian dollar as an example.

Trade Bitcoin Using Volume Price Analysis on the TradingView Platform
Trading Bitcoin with volume price analysis (VPA) on TradingView offers a clear edge. VPA combines price action with trading volume. This reveals true market intent. High volume on up candles shows buying conviction. Low volume warns of weakness or traps.
The volume price analysis approach can be applied to any instrument and any market. In this video we focus on Bitcoin using the TradingView platform and in the faster timeframes and supported by the Quantum Trading tools and indicators.
Applying VPA to Bitcoin Charts
Bitcoin is volatile and sentiment-driven. On TradingView, add volume bars to candlestick charts. Look for accumulation at lows with rising volume. Distribution at highs signals selling pressure. Divergence between price and volume often precedes reversals. Quantum-style custom scripts enhance VPA visuals on TradingView.
Practical Tips for BTC Traders
Focus on key levels like support/resistance. Confirm breakouts with high volume. Use multiple timeframes—daily for trend, lower for entries. Anna Coulling's VPA methodology applies...

Gaps Are Traps
Gaps in price charts often look exciting. They promise quick profits. But gaps are traps for many traders. Price jumps leave empty space. This attracts chasing buyers or sellers. Volume price analysis (VPA) reveals the truth.
Gaps can indeed be traps as this chart from the YM shows. The price action is from our London forex webinar and forex traders may be wondering why they should be looking at related markets as the futures. And the answer is for a view on broader market sentiment which will then be reflected in the buying or selling of currencies that reflect risk appetite such as the Japanese yen.
Why Gaps Become Traps
Gaps form on news or low liquidity. Retail traders rush in. Professionals fade the move. High volume filling the gap shows conviction. Low volume gaps persist longer. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or MT5 highlight gap behavior clearly.

Wait for volume confirmation before entering. Gaps filling with strong volume...
