Where next for the USD and gold ahead of NFP?

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/2q7Ev2V7ASQ What Is NFP and Why Is It Important? NFP stands for Non-Farm Payrolls. It's one of the most influential economic reports in global markets. Released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics on the first Friday of each month at 8:30 AM ET (13:30 GMT), it measures job creation in the US economy excluding farm workers, government employees, and a few other categories. Over the last few days the US dollar has seen some much-needed upside momentum which in turn has driven the price of gold lower. So how much longer is the is the US dollar set to rise, or for gold to fall? Key Components of the NFP Report Headline Number: Net new jobs added (or lost) last month. Forecast vs actual drives reaction. Unemployment Rate: Percentage of workforce unemployed. Average Hourly Earnings: Wage growth—signals inflation pressure. Revisions: Previous months often adjusted.

London forex session delivers great trading & volume price analysis lessons

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/cmEynLmf9J4 London Forex Session Delivers Great Trading & Volume Price Analysis Lessons The London forex session delivers great trading opportunities daily. It overlaps with Europe. Liquidity surges early. This creates clear moves. Volume price analysis (VPA) lessons abound here. A terrific trading session which once again had so many lessons for traders in all timeframes, emphasizing the power of volume price analysis and supported by the Quantum Trading tools and indicators. As so often happens at the session crossover periods, reversals take centre stage as the market makers move in to trap traders into weak positions. Putting Brexit to one side, the focus here was on the commodity currencies and in particular the cross-currency pairs of the euro, the Aussie dollar, and the Canadian dollar. Mean Reversion The forex market is one of mean reversion and none more so at these times, when the market makers are at their most active. For the EUR/AUD the solid bearish trends intraday were duly reversed, but as always it's...

A great day for trading stocks and indices – & the importance of floating supply

A great day for trading stocks and indices – & the importance of floating supply

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
Choosing the best stocks for day trading can be tricky and if you choose the wrong ones, it can be tough make money as a day trader. In this session, we cover some of the basics of stock selection for day trading and also highlight one of the key issues which is understanding floating supply. Floating supply is one of the most important factors to consider for the simple reason if the floating supply is small, then volatility is likely to be high as the price can be manipulated by the market makers very easily, or indeed a single large order. The opposite is where floating supply is large and in this case volatility will be reduced as these stocks are harder to corner for the market makers and insiders. This was also a great trading day with the opportunity to make money in all markets, with the ES index falling strongly along with the sister indices of the YM and NQ emini,...

The power of using multiple timeframes

The power of using multiple timeframes

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
Using multiple timeframes is one of the keys to trading success and in this morning's forex session we explain why, and using several of the GBP pairs. The reasons are many. First, using this approach reveals how price action in one timeframe, can reveal so much in another. Overlaying two candles is easy, but doing this with several is hard and almost impossible to do quickly. The Quantum Trading indicators for MT5 and NinjaTrader then help, with different signals in different timeframes. One may be signaling a change in trend which is developing, or perhaps a volatility signal is triggered. Finally, the price action itself reveals areas of support and resistance, of deep concentrations of volume which are not apparent on the timeframe of choice. All of these then provide the pieces of the jigsaw, which answer the simple question 'where is the market heading next?' And all underpinned of course by volume price analysis, which again offers powerful insights when applied...

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...

Spoilt for choice in the fx session – which pair to choose!!

Spoilt for choice in the fx session – which pair to choose!!

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
A great forex session and one where we were truly spoiled for choice, with the US dollar leading the way as safe haven flows saw the currency of first reserve rise strongly as European markets opened. This was countered with equally strong selling in several different currencies including the Australian dollar, the euro and the pound and clearly signaled on the currency strength indicator. The move in the euro was triggered as a result of problems once more in the Italian banking system, an issue which like Greece, has never been resolved, and which is now rising once again to the surface. But in this session we focused on one of these, the Aussie dollar which delivered a wonderful trend lower, and confirmed with all the associated indicators of the currency heatmap, the currency array and the currency matrix, with safe haven flows driving the US dollar, and equally strong bearish flows driving the Aussie, and combining in wonderful trading opportunity to...

Nice move in the euro along with the pound in the London session

Nice move in the euro along with the pound in the London session

by Quantum Trading Comment Closed
https://youtu.be/QQvzkV2brBE Nice Move in the Euro Along with the Pound in the London Session A nice move unfolded in the euro and pound during the London session. Both currencies gained strength. EUR/USD and GBP/USD rallied steadily. This reflected positive European sentiment. Traders spotted relational opportunities in majors and crosses. Another great session this morning with David and myself as we showcase the Quantum Trading tools and indicators through the European open and into the London session, and the two currencies we focused on here were the British pound and the euro. As you would expect these are the currencies that take centre stage as European markets open, and we were not disappointed with the euro finding some positive sentiment and sending it firmly higher against the US dollar which was equally bearish on the faster timeframes, and so developing a nice trend. And of course this was clearly in evidence on the currency strength indicator on both the MT5 platform and the NinjaTrader...

Excellent trades in the majors during the London FX session

https://youtu.be/MIwsXPvTWJo Another excellent forex trading session for the European and London open with the pound and the euro in focus as the Far East and Asia session comes to a close. With the US dollar selling off this helped to propel many of the major currency pairs, and with strong euro buying on the faster timeframes, the euro dollar was certainly one which delivered, with the British pound also following suit and helped higher with the Barnier bounce. Once again the currency strength indicator highlights the pairs to consider with the euro rising strongly and counterbalanced with an equally strong move lower for the US dollar, with the British pound moving in to overbought on the faster timeframes, with the currency array then The key as always is in using multiple timeframes and blending time and non time based charts to deliver all the key pieces of the jigsaw. As always some great volume price analysis lessons in this session with the...
