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...
Follow through into the US session as the trends continue from London
Follow Through into the US Session as the Trends Continue from London
Follow through into the US session often extends London trends. The overlap brings high liquidity. Volume surges as New York joins. This confirms or accelerates moves started earlier. Traders watch for continuation signals.
The trends in the London forex session continued throughout the morning and into the US forex session with the GBP/NZD in focus. We also take a look at commodity currencies and support and resistance using both MT5 and the NinjaTrader accumulation and distribution indicator.
Volume Price Analysis in Overlap
Volume price analysis (VPA) reveals follow through clearly. High volume on trend-direction candles shows conviction. London setups with volume support carry into US hours. Low volume pullbacks offer entries. Quantum Trend Monitor on MT5 or NinjaTrader stays aligned for confidence.
Why US Session Extends London Moves
US open overlaps London close. Institutional flows drive momentum. Trends from London gain strength on volume spikes. Quantum currency strength indicator highlights leaders crossing sessions. Matrix...
London forex session delivers great trading & volume price analysis lessons
London Forex Session Delivers Great Trading & Volume Price Analysis Lessons
The London forex session delivers great trading opportunities daily. It overlaps with Europe. Liquidity surges early. This creates clear moves. Volume price analysis (VPA) lessons abound here.
A terrific trading session which once again had so many lessons for traders in all timeframes, emphasizing the power of volume price analysis and supported by the Quantum Trading tools and indicators.
As so often happens at the session crossover periods, reversals take centre stage as the market makers move in to trap traders into weak positions. Putting Brexit to one side, the focus here was on the commodity currencies and in particular the cross-currency pairs of the euro, the Aussie dollar, and the Canadian dollar.
Mean Reversion
The forex market is one of mean reversion and none more so at these times, when the market makers are at their most active. For the EUR/AUD the solid bearish trends intraday were duly reversed, but as always it's...
Which pairs to choose and how to trade them – all explained here!
https://youtu.be/RALighYqu0Y
Choosing which currency pairs can be a tricky decision, and one each forex trader has to make for themselves, and as this is a frequent question, it's one we answer in this morning's forex session. And always there is no right or wrong answer, only what suits you, and perhaps the key here is patience. If you have the patience to wait, then reducing the number of pairs to trade can be an excellent way to become an expert in one or two, perhaps also with a preferred tactic. However, this can create problems as boredom can often be an issue as other pairs are then sought out, and very quickly all the initial discipline has gone, and the trader is then taking trades in all pairs, as before. So it's not easy.
Another question frequently asked is how to use the currency dashboard and the four trading indicators it contains, and here David walks through the three-step process, with the...
Trading success? It’s all about anticipating what’s next using volume price analysis!
Trading Success? It’s All About Anticipating What’s Next Using Volume Price Analysis!
Trading success comes from anticipating the next move. Many traders react too late. Volume price analysis (VPA) changes this. It reads volume alongside price. This reveals market intent early. You stay ahead of the crowd.
Some great volume price analysis lessons once more as we move into the European session followed by London, and the signals could not be clearer supported by the Quantum Trading tools and indicators with the British pound in focus on the MT5 and NinjaTrader platforms.
How VPA Helps Anticipate Moves
VPA spots accumulation before breakouts. High volume at lows signals buying. Distribution at highs warns of selling. Divergence between price and volume predicts reversals. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or MT5 highlight these signals fast—Trend Monitor for direction, Accumulation/Distribution for phases.
Practical Benefits for Traders
Anticipating beats reacting. Enter trends early on volume confirmation. Avoid traps with low-volume spikes. Anna Coulling's VPA methodology teaches this foresight. Quantum tools make it...
A great forex session for the euro, Aussie and the pound!
https://youtu.be/cDz2mmr1l48
An excellent forex trading session with Anna and David of Quantum Trading, as Europe opens and followed by London. The focus this week was on the euro and the pound, with Anna tracking the GBP/USD as strong pound buying is counterbalanced by US dollar selling, but as always with an eye on the London open where reversals are always likely as this major centre opens for the trading day. One to watch at present is also the Swiss franc, not only for safe haven flows but also as result of the problems in Italy and the Italian banks, with many moving their cash across the border and into Switzerland as a result, so selling euros and buying the franc, so one to watch over the next few days and weeks.
The euro aussie is always an interesting pair to trade through Europe and into London as the strong cross flows from the Southern Hemisphere then meld into the European currency markets....
Nice move in the euro along with the pound in the London session
https://youtu.be/QQvzkV2brBE
Another great session this morning with David and myself as we showcase the Quantum Trading tools and indicators through the European open and into the London session, and the two currencies we focused on here were the British pound and the euro. As you would expect these are the currencies that take centre stage as European markets open, and we were not disappointed with the euro finding some positive sentiment and sending it firmly higher against the US dollar which was equally bearish on the faster timeframes, and so developing a nice trend. And of course this was clearly in evidence on the currency strength indicator on both the MT5 platform and the NinjaTrader platform.
One of the key issues when trading any pair is to understand whether the sentiment for the currency is universal across the currency complex, and here the currency matrix and the currency array step in to help and display this instantly and in all timeframes. This...
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 forex session with the GBP/AUD, the GBP/JPY and the AUD/JPY all in focus
A great forex session this morning in the live webinar with David and myself, and one where we were spoilt for choice in terms of trading lessons and also trading opportunities. The pairs we chose were the GBP/AUD on the MT5 platform and the AUD/JPY on the NinjaTrader platform, before moving to look at the GBP/JPY later in the webinar and of course all analysed through the prism of volume price analysis and the Quantum Trading tools and indicators. For the GBP/AUD is was a case of further heavy selling in this pair and reflected in the time based charts supported by the MT5 renko chart. As always the currency strength indicator signalled the strength of the move and again using multiple timeframes giving the clear signals we need to select the currency or currency pair for further analysis. One of the keys to success is in applying volume price analysis which then helps to identify whether a reversal is...
