The fear of missing out at the London open!
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...
Terrific trade on the GBP/AUD – trend monitor keeping you in!
The London forex session delivered a terrific trade on the GBP/AUD, as strength in the Aussie dollar coupled with weakness in the British pound sent the pair falling overnight and into Europe. A great example of how to use the trend monitor indicator across multiple timeframes, and its power at keeping you in to maximise profits with the currency strength indicator signalling those all important reversals and pullbacks.

How to choose the best pairs to consider on the currency heatmap

How to Choose the Best Pairs to Consider on the Currency Heatmap
Choosing the best pairs on the currency heatmap simplifies forex trading. The heatmap ranks currencies by relative strength. Colors show intensity—green for bullish, red for bearish. This reveals high-probability opportunities quickly.
Choosing the best pairs to trade on the currency heatmap involves focusing on relational strength and weakness to identify high-probability opportunities. The heatmap, a key Quantum Trading tool developed by Anna Coulling, visually ranks currencies by performance, highlighting leaders (strong) and laggards (weak) for potential trends or reversals. Start by scanning for extreme outliers—pairs with one currency at the top (e.g., strong USD) and another at the bottom (weak EUR) often signal sustained moves. Combine this with volume price analysis (VPA) to confirm conviction: high volume on supporting candles validates the relational edge.
Avoid crowded middling pairs in quiet markets; prioritize extremes for clearer setups. Used across MT4/MT5 or NinjaTrader, the heatmap simplifies pair selection, reducing noise and improving focus...
The currency heatmap leads the way
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.

Volume price analysis and the British pound
Another interesting session with the British pound once again in focus for several reasons.
First of course Brexit continues to dominate the news, and whenever an item of fundamental news is released it is the context of the bigger picture, and therefore has relatively little impact. Second, a volume price analysis anomaly was clearly in evidence on the daily chart for the GBP/AUD. Here we saw a wide spread up candle, yet the associated volume was not in agreement with such a strong move. Clearly the market makers were not participating in the move higher, with the pair duly rolling over a few days later to deliver a clear trading opportunity to the short side.
Finally we focused on the new release of retail sales to demonstrate volume price analysis in action on the 1 minute timeframe, and moreover the trap moves initiated on any such release, with the volatility indicator revealing its true power.

More Volume Price Analysis Lessons in the London Forex Session
The London forex session offers more volume price analysis (VPA) lessons. High liquidity creates clear signals. Volume surges early. This reveals true market intent. Traders learn to spot conviction quickly.
More great volume price analysis lessons this morning in the London forex session as we focused on the British pound, with further volatility expected as Brexit continues to exert its influence across the complex.
But we started with a look at the NZD/CAD on the daily timeframe which continues to remain firmly anchored to the top of the heatmap, as we wait for the pair to weaken and move away from this extreme position. As always, patience is required, and the approach here is the same, whether for the currency strength indicator or the currency heatmap when trading extremes. For the former it is the currencies themselves, and for the latter it is the currency pairs. In either case, patience is required along...
MT5 currency matrix delivers a great eur/jpy trade!
https://youtu.be/JQuxJBCsZEs
In this video we focus on the currency matrix and how to use it in combination with the currency strength indicator. In this example from early in the London session bullish sentiment for the euro drives several pairs but the euro yen really does deliver, and we return to follow the price action later in the morning, as this pair continues to rise strongly. A fantastic example and supported of course by the Quantum currency strength indicator and the other tools and indicators on the charts themselves.
Understanding universal sentiment and flow is key to currency trading success, and the currency matrix indicator for MT5 delivers, visually and clearly in all time-frames showing you instantly which pairs are rising strongly and which perhaps are not following the general market sentiment....
Great trend higher on the Euro Aussie supported by Quantum indicators

Great Trend Higher on the Euro Aussie Supported by Quantum Indicators
The Euro Aussie (EUR/AUD) shows a great trend higher. Bullish momentum builds steadily. This cross pair reacts to euro strength and Aussie commodity flows. Traders spot sustained upmoves with clear conviction.
In this video we look at a great trend in the faster timeframes for the EUR/AUD and supported as always by the Quantum Trading indicators. The first of these is the tick volumes indicator which helps in the analysis of volume and price which is a key plank of technical analysis. Then we consider the trend monitor indicator which helps to keep us in through those inevitable pullbacks and reversals which occur in all trends higher or lower. The dynamic support and resistance indicator then plays its part. It defines those areas of stronger or weaker price levels where support and resistance are ket. Finally we touch on the pivots indicator and the volatility indicator. And all using the 20...
