The video explains how to use this indicator in multiple time frames to trade the ES emini contract (futures contract for the S&P500).

Price Reaction to Volatility in the Gold Market
Gold prices react strongly to volatility. This precious metal is sensitive to market mood. High volatility often signals shifts. Traders use it to anticipate moves. The Quantum volatility indicator helps spot these changes early. Based on average true range, the Quantum Volatility indicator triggers in real time and is invaluable in helping traders avoid FOMO (fear of missing out) and can signal an exit if already in a trade. It works in all markets and time frames, and in this example, was triggered on the gold chart.
How Volatility Drives Gold Price Reaction
Volatility measures price swings. In gold, it reflects uncertainty. Risk-off sentiment boosts safe-haven demand. Gold rallies on high volatility spikes. Risk-on calms it—gold pulls back. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms reactions—high volume on moves shows conviction.

The Most Important Order of All – Stop Loss Placement and Management
The most important order in trading is the stop loss. It protects your capital. Without it, one bad trade can wipe out gains. Many traders neglect proper placement. This leads to emotional decisions and bigger losses. Learn how to use the indicators to help with stop loss placement and management.
Why Stop Loss Placement Matters in VPA
Volume price analysis (VPA) guides stop loss placement perfectly. Place stops just beyond key support or resistance. These levels are validated by volume—high volume clusters show real barriers. Arbitrary stops (fixed pips or %) ignore market structure. VPA uses it for logical protection.
Practical Management Tips
Initial stop: Beyond recent swing with volume confirmation. Trail stops as trend develops—move to breakeven on high volume continuation. Use Quantum Trend Monitor on NinjaTrader or MT5 for alignment. Avoid tight stops in volatile sessions.
Anna Coulling's VPA methodology emphasizes this discipline. Quantum indicators make placement visual and reliable. Good stop...

Trading Gold Using Volume Price Analysis
Gold is a timeless trading asset. It combines safe-haven demand, inflation hedge, and commodity volatility. Prices swing on sentiment shifts. Volume price analysis (VPA) provides the edge. It reads volume alongside price to reveal true market intent. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of weakness or traps.
A great example of a breakout trade on gold with volume price analysis then confirming the move higher for the precious metal.
Why VPA Excels for Gold Trading
Gold has no yield. It thrives on fear or growth expectations. Risk-off spikes demand—prices rally. Risk-on weakens it. VPA cuts through noise. High volume rallies confirm buying pressure. Low volume at highs signals distribution—professionals selling.
Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or MT5 enhance VPA. Trend Monitor aligns direction. VPOC marks key levels.

Using Camarilla Levels to Identify Key Support & Resistance
Camarilla levels are a classic intraday tool for traders. They generate daily support and resistance zones from the previous session's range. This helps identify where price may pause, reverse, or break. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms conviction at these levels—high volume shows real interest.
An extract of our day trading the US futures session with a look at the fundamental releases that are becoming increasingly dramatic as coronavirus continues to dominate with particular focus on the YM emini, which is the futures contract for the Dow Jones using charts from the Ninjatrader platform.
