by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
In this segment from the forex trading session this morning we focus on the currency majors and explain how to use the spot markets and futures markets to identify flows, and also reveal different relationships using volume price analysis. And late in the session we pick up a nice reversal trade which is signalled with strong buying volume and the currency which is heavily oversold on the currency strength indicator. https://youtu.be/NrF8j0XGJjg...

Assessing risk and reward the correct way!

Assessing risk and reward the correct way!

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/x-kqt_w8qUQ Assessing Risk and Reward the Correct Way! Many traders insist on fixed risk-reward ratios like 2:1 or 3:1. This seems simple. But it's often nonsense. Rigid rules ignore market context. Volume price analysis (VPA) offers a better way. Let the chart decide risk and reward naturally. Many traders talk of risk and reward and the fact they do not take a trade unless there is a 3 to 1 risk reward ratio or 2 to 1 - but how do they know, and does the market actually care what they need or want! There is a simple and logical way to assess the risk on each trade, and any potential reward by studying the chart and from there deciding whether to take the trade or not. The chart will reveal in multiple timeframes what is ahead and therefore likely to offer support or resistance, or where the market is likely to congest. Then and only then can you make a decision based...

https://youtu.be/XsLiEzOvFe8 How to Start Your Forex Trading Day on MT5 Starting your forex trading day on MT5 sets the tone for success. A consistent routine builds discipline. Begin with preparation. Review overnight news and economic calendar. This avoids surprises in major pairs. At the start of the London forex trading session I explain how I use the currency trading dashboard for MT5 and the steps to follow in highlighting the opportunities ahead for the session. The currency dashboard comprises the currency strength indicator, the currency matrix, the currency array and finally the currency heatmap. All have a part to play and I start with the currency strength indicator which is our radar on the market and not hard to understand why. 1. It breaks the forex market down into the building blocks of the market – in other words the currencies themselves 2. This is always the place to start with any analysis of the FX market – the individual currencies – it reveals individual...

https://youtu.be/rS6hgiODSCA Forex Trading Success Is All About Choosing the Right Currency Pair for a Strong Trend Forex trading success depends on one key decision. Choose the right currency pair. Focus on those with strong trends. This maximizes reward while minimizing noise. Random pairs lead to chop and frustration. Forex trading success is all about choosing the right currency pair and the starting point is the currency strength indicator. Here strength and weakness in the individual currencies is revealed simply and clearly which is why we call it out sonar on the market. Like the device trawlers use to locate shoals of fish, so we use it to identify reversals and strong trends in the building blocks of the markets - the currencies themselves. However, when a currency is rising or falling strongly, this does not mean it is doing this across the complex, and so we are constantly looking for the a strong move for the counter currency in the opposite direction. So if...

Brexit in focus once more for the British pound

Brexit in focus once more for the British pound

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/s8mBkIEETOo Brexit in Focus Once More for the British Pound Brexit returns to focus for the British pound. Political or trade developments spark volatility. GBP pairs react sharply. Traders watch sentiment shifts closely. This creates opportunities in cable and crosses. With Brexit once more in the headlines it's the British pound which is delivering some great forex trading opportunities across the pound complex and worries concerning a no deal surface once more and drive the currency lower on the daily timeframe. But remember, when a currency is driven in this way expect to see volatility and plenty of trap moves intraday which is where the volatility indicator steps in. And the news for the pound was made worse by the release of news concerning a vaccine trial which had run into problems. So not a happy time for the pound at present! Volume Price Analysis During Brexit News Volume price analysis (VPA) is essential here. News drives spikes. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low...

A perfect example – congestion, breakaway, trend and now….reversal?

A perfect example – congestion, breakaway, trend and now….reversal?

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/HNf0A2Vf1ZU GBP/USD Potential Reversal: Classic VPA Cycle in Action GBP/USD shows a classic volume price analysis (VPA) cycle. It starts with congestion. Price ranges tightly. Volume stays low. This builds pressure. This is a perfect example of Cable in a congestion, followed by the breakaway,then comes the trend and now possibly a reversal. Breakaway and Trend Phase A breakaway follows. Price escapes congestion on high volume. This confirms conviction. Trend develops steadily. Up candles widen with rising volume. Quantum Trend Monitor stays aligned, supporting longs. Signs of Potential Reversal Now, reversal signals emerge. Price hits highs on falling volume—divergence warns of weakness. Distribution appears. Quantum Accumulation/Distribution indicator turns negative. A bearish candle on volume spike suggests exhaustion. Trading Lessons from This Cycle This GBP/USD example teaches patience. Congestion builds setups. Breakaways with volume validate trends. Reversals need confirmation—wait for divergence. Anna Coulling's VPA methodology spots these phases early. Quantum tools on MT5 or NinjaTrader make them visual. Watch GBP/USD closely. Potential reversal could shift momentum. Use VPA with Quantum indicators...
