The Renko optimizer for NinjaTrader is a powerful indicator for day traders across all markets when used as a single chart. However, when using three in tandem it truly delivers with its awesome power as you will see here in this video from the US futures trading session and revealing a wonderful trend that develops from the first, moves to the second chart, and on to the third. And of course when used in combination with time-based charts this gives the best of all worlds as we can then apply volume price analysis to the chart. So the perfect blend of time and not time-based charts.

How to Trade Futures Using Volume Price Analysis
Futures trading offers high liquidity and leverage. Contracts like /ES (S&P 500), /NQ (Nasdaq), or /CL (oil) move fast. Volume price analysis (VPA) provides the edge. It combines price action with trading volume. This reveals true market intent. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of weakness or traps.
Core VPA Principles for Futures
VPA reads centralized volume data reliably in futures. Key signals:
Trend Confirmation: Rising prices with increasing volume = strong uptrend (buyers in control).
Reversals: New highs on low volume = divergence (distribution). High volume at lows halting decline = stopping volume (accumulation).
Breakouts: Price escaping range on high volume = valid momentum.
Traps: Spike on low volume often reverses—professionals fading retail.
Practical Steps to Trade Futures with VPA
Platform Setup: Use NinjaTrader (preferred for futures). Load Quantum indicators.
Identify Trend: Higher timeframe (daily/4-hour) for bias. Trend Monitor green = uptrend.
Spot Entries: Lower timeframe pullbacks. Enter on volume-confirmed moves (high...
Never, ever trade with an opinion. Trading with an opinion is one reason many traders struggle to succeed confident they are right and the market is wrong. Never trade against the market as the house always wins! Use volume price analysis which reveals the truth behind the price action.

Trading using non time-based charts has many advantages, but one drawback which is this. How you do you know what to set for your tick or renko charts. More importantly, both of these settings are dependant on the instrument you are trading and also the time of the trading day. After all, markets speed up and slow down constantly. It's not a case of set and forget. And in this video, we explain how to do this using the Tickspeedometer and the Renko Optimizer for NinajTrader.

Blending Time and Non-Time-Based Charts: A Powerful Trading Approach
Trading charts come in two main types: time-based (e.g., 1-minute, daily) and non-time-based (tick, Renko). Each has strengths. Blending them creates a powerful approach. Time charts provide context. Non-time-based reveal pure momentum. This combination filters noise. It aligns bias with precise entries. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms conviction across both.
Using a blend of time and non time based charts is a powerful approach to trading forex, and in this video I highlight the renko chart which builds a brick based chart devoid of time, and so reveals momentum which you never see on a time based chart. Yet using the time charts also gives you the insight using volume price analysis, hence the reason it is a powerful combination.
Time-Based Charts: The Big-Picture Foundation
Time charts add bars at fixed intervals. They show overall trend and structure:
Higher timeframes (daily/weekly) reveal primary direction.
Support/resistance, phases (accumulation/distribution) clear.
Ideal for bias—Quantum Trend Monitor aligns long-term...
The renko optimizer indicator for NinjaTrader is a powerful indicator in it's own right, delivering the optimatal brick size for all markets and instruments. But when used in this way, it will take your trading to a new level. In the video we explain how.
