How to Trade Forex Ahead of the London Open
The hours ahead of the London forex open are quiet. Asian session winds down. Volatility drops. Many traders wait. But this period offers preparation advantages. Spot early sentiment. Position for London surge. Volume price analysis (VPA) reveals subtle clues.
Session crossovers can catch many traders as volatility enters the market. Using multiple time frames and non-time-based charts can help traders navigate these tricky trading times. This video breaks down the price action on the gbp/aud before the London open.
Why Trade Ahead of London Open
London open (8:00 GMT) brings liquidity explosion. But Asian close sets tone. Carryover momentum often continues. Early positioning avoids crowded entries. Low volume ranges build pressure. VPA spots this—low volume extremes signal potential breakouts.
Quantum currency strength indicator ranks currencies pre-open. This shows relational leaders.

Learn How to Read the Economic Data and What It Reveals in the Cycle
Economic data releases drive market moves. Traders must learn to read them correctly. Data reveals where we are in the economic cycle. This guides sentiment and trading decisions. Volume price analysis (VPA) adds confirmation. Learn how to read the economic data and what it reveals in the cycle
Key Economic Indicators and Cycle Phases
The cycle has four phases: recovery, expansion, slowdown, recession. Leading indicators like PMI signal early turns. Coincident indicators (GDP, employment) show current state. Lagging indicators (unemployment rate) confirm trends.
Strong data (high PMI, low unemployment) points to expansion. Weak data signals slowdown. Central bank responses follow—rate hikes in expansion, cuts in recession.
How Data Reveals Cycle Position
Positive surprises boost risk-on sentiment. Commodity currencies (AUD, CAD) strengthen. Negative surprises favor safe-havens (JPY, CHF). Volume price analysis confirms reactions—high volume on moves shows conviction.
Trading with Data and VPA
Wait for data release. Watch initial reaction. Use VPA for confirmation—high volume...

The Importance of Trading with Multiple Time Frames (NinjaTrader)
Trading with multiple time frames is essential for success. It provides context. Higher timeframes show the big picture trend. Lower timeframes reveal precise entries and exits. This alignment reduces false signals. NinjaTrader excels for multi-timeframe trading.
In this morning's London forex webinar our focus was on the yen pairs as improved market sentiment had seen some great moves in both aud/jpy & nzd/jpy. Gbp/jpy had been lagging but strong buying of the British pound helped to propel the pair higher. The webinar also considered using multiple time frames to find significant levels of support and resistance to help determine whether the trend would continue or not.
Why Multiple Time Frames Matter
Single timeframe trading misses the full story. A 5-minute chart looks bullish. But daily shows downtrend. Multiple views align direction. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms strength across frames. High volume on higher timeframe moves validates lower timeframe setups.

Market Sentiment Analysis Using AUD/JPY
AUD/JPY is a powerful pair for market sentiment analysis. It combines commodity-driven AUD with safe-haven JPY. This creates clear risk-on/risk-off signals. Traders watch it closely for global mood.
A new trading week has seen market sentiment soar following the long Memorial Day holiday. For forex traders, the currency pair that best captures market sentiment is the aud/jpy which had already surged higher by the open of the London forex session. In this excerpt from this morning's webinar, we considered the trend in aud/jpy in multiple time frames.
Why AUD/JPY Reflects Sentiment
AUD thrives in risk-on environments. Strong commodities and growth boost it. JPY strengthens in risk-off periods. Investors seek safety during uncertainty. Sharp moves in AUD/JPY highlight sentiment shifts. Volume price analysis (VPA) confirms conviction—high volume on upticks shows risk appetite.
Practical Application with Quantum Tools
Use the currency strength indicator to rank AUD and JPY. Extremes signal sentiment extremes. Quantum matrix on MT5 or NinjaTrader visualizes this relationally. Rising AUD/JPY...

Support & Resistance Trading & Candle Patterns
Support and resistance trading forms the backbone of technical analysis. These levels act as barriers. Price often bounces or breaks at them. Candle patterns add confirmation. They show buyer/seller battles at key zones. Support & resistance is a key element of classic technical analysis and one of the five pillars of volume price analysis. And when combined with support & resistance from both a price and volume based perspective will give traders and investors additional confidence in identifying whether a trend is likely to reverse or not.
Key Candle Patterns at Levels
Reversal patterns like hammers or shooting stars shine at support/resistance. A hammer at support signals buying pressure. Doji candles show indecision. Engulfing patterns indicate strong shifts. Volume price analysis (VPA) validates these—high volume on reversal candles confirms conviction.
Practical Application
Combine levels with patterns for better entries. Wait for candle close at support/resistance. Check volume for strength. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or MT5 highlight levels and...
