Day trading the ES emini on tick charts and tickspeedometer delivers solid profits

https://youtu.be/5D7MM3Ffik8 Day Trading the ES Emini on Tick Charts and TickSpeedometer Delivers Solid Profits Day trading the ES Emini benefits from tick charts. They focus on activity, not time. This removes noise in fast markets. The TickSpeedometer adds precision. It measures participation surges to improve entry timing. An interesting session for US indices where despite the relatively narrow price action, the tick charts delivered some solid trading profits for intraday scalping traders. The focus in this session was on the ES emini, the most heavily traded index, and using tick charts in combination with the Ninjatrader Tickspeedometer indicator. This approach delivered some solid results despite the fact markets were waiting for FED chair Powell to deliver a speech to the Economic Club of Washington DC, with a question and answer session to follow. It was no surprise to see markets trading in a relatively tight range, but nonetheless delivering for the emini scalping trader. How Tick Charts and TickSpeedometer Work Together Tick charts group price...

Oil delivers….again, and again, and again….

Oil delivers….again, and again, and again….

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/YRj70Ia-HEo Oil Delivers….Again, and Again, and Again…. Oil has been a trader's dream lately. It delivers consistent opportunities. The price keeps falling. This creates straightforward, low-risk, high-return trades. WTI futures lead the way. Momentum stays bearish across all timeframes. It's often hard to find trading opportunities which just deliver, and keep delivering, but for oil this has been the case over the last few weeks, and this was no different yesterday, with the WTI futures as the price of oil fell once more, and offering straightforward, low risk, high return trading opportunities in all time frames. The primary decision trading decision here is the number of contract to trade, with the time and non time based charts providing those key insights to maximize returns. And here, it really is a case of make hay while the sun shines. These fantastic trading opportunities don't come along every day, and until OPEC moves and potentially introduces supply cuts, this bearish momentum looks set to continue, but...

US mid-term elections dominate price action in all markets

US mid-term elections dominate price action in all markets

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/bXAhkmy3Yzg US Mid-Term Elections Dominate Price Action in All Markets US mid-term elections are dominating price action across all markets. Uncertainty creates volatility. Equities, forex, and commodities react. Traders watch for sentiment shifts. This event paused many trends. Congestion appeared as results unfolded. Waiting for the US mid-term elections was reflected in the markets this afternoon, and following an initial move higher, that was it for the rest of the session, as all three indices rotated around the VPOC on the fast-timeframe charts and lacked both direction and participation. The price action was no great surprise given the political landscape along with the FED decision due on Thursday. But as always on such days, it reminds us we have to be patient and wait for the trading opportunities to arrive and not force them, where none exist which was the case for index traders today. This general lack of momentum was also reflected in related markets, with the US dollar and gold both trading...

Now that’s what I call a reversal!!

Now that’s what I call a reversal!!

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
Now That’s What I Call a Reversal!! Reversals can be dramatic in trading. This one stood out clearly. Price shifted sharply after exhaustion. Volume price analysis (VPA) spotted the turn early. It's a textbook example of market change. A terrific session on the US markets as the plunge in equities during the morning, was reversed in the afternoon with an equally strong recovery, with the three sister indices all closing on the day with an extreme wick to the lower body and a close near the high of the session. A fantastic trading day and one with many VPA lessons, not least the importance of understanding the relational aspects of market behaviour of bonds and currencies all of which sent clear signals of this change in sentiment. https://youtu.be/sp76-cYO6lU Key VPA Signals in the Reversal Volume price analysis revealed classic signs. High volume at the extreme showed distribution. Stopping volume appeared as buyers stepped in. Divergence between price and volume confirmed weakness in the old...

When volume really does reveal the truth behind the price action

When volume really does reveal the truth behind the price action

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/aHAf6LAAgkE When Volume Really Does Reveal the Truth Behind the Price Action Price action can deceive traders. It looks strong or weak. But volume tells the real story. Volume price analysis (VPA) combines both. This uncovers true market intent. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of traps. Classic VPA Signals That Reveal Truth High volume on up candles confirms buying pressure. Price rises with conviction. Low volume on rallies signals weakness. Sellers absorb buying. This often leads to reversals. Divergence appears when price makes new highs on falling volume. Distribution is underway. An excellent trading session for US indices, commodities and stocks following the extreme moves of last week and at times such as this, volume price analysis becomes ever more powerful in helping to reveal the truth behind the price action. What was interesting here was the volume associated with the wide spread down candle which was the precursor to extreme volatility which followed and which is likely to continue for...

Great forex session with the GBP/AUD, the GBP/JPY and the AUD/JPY all in focus

Great forex session with the GBP/AUD, the GBP/JPY and the AUD/JPY all in focus

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
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...

Day trading gold and other commodities in the US session

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/64-8qg5I2EM In this session Anna and David focus on day trading commodities in the US session and in particular gold which delivered some solid moves for speculative intraday traders and supported by the Quantum Trading tools and indicators. Anna starts the session looking at gold on the MT5 platform which is a great place to start with both renko and time based charts. Then David takes over on NinjaTrader, adding tick charts as a further blended option and using the Tickspeedometer indicator to deliver the precise tick speed setting for the charts. The renko optimiser then provides an additional view on the price action and yet another non time based chart to help with entry and exit points. Using renko charts, tick charts and time based charts together, provides a three dimensional view of the price action giving day traders a unique view with all the pieces of the puzzle helping to provide a unified picture for clear and logical decision making....

Choose your currency pair with care!

Choose your currency pair with care!

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/xTPs_2Ws7aQ In this video we highlight the currency strength indicator and the currency array indicator for NinjaTrader, and the importance of understanding universal flow in the market. Here we see strong buying for the British pound and the euro which is reflected in the charts, but is sentiment for the two currencies universal across the complex, and this is where the currency array indicator steps in to help. In the ranking ladder to for the currency array we can see sentiment for the GBP is universal with strong buying in all the pairs. For the euro this is not the case and highlighting the key point, which is to choose your currency pairs with care. Trading against the universal market sentiment is fine, as long as are aware that this is indeed the case. Most forex traders are not, and so assume the market is universally bullish or bearish on the currency which is often not the case at all!!...

https://youtu.be/Z_wZivsstBw 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...

The three indices we often forget as forex traders!

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/lYtz5YrK5ro The Three Indices We Often Forget as Forex Traders! Forex traders focus heavily on currency pairs. But intermarket analysis is key. Three indices often get overlooked. They drive risk sentiment and currency flows. Ignoring them misses big clues. These three indices complete relational analysis. Combine with Quantum indicators on MT5 or NinjaTrader for fuller context. Anna Coulling's VPA approach integrates them seamlessly. Don't forget—markets are connected! In this video we explain the importance of understanding where the three major currencies are heading, whether intraday or on a longer term basis. The three main currencies are of course the US dollar, the Japanese yen and the single currency of the euro. The Quantum Trading suite of tools and indicators delivers an index for all three. Using the tab feature in NinjaTrader 8 offers a compact and efficient way to monitor these key currencies across all timeframes whilst optimising screen space. This allows you as a forex trader to track these currencies, and from there have...
