September 5, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/7PVIuBHuSuY In this video we take a look at the renko optimiser from Quantum Trading and a great example using the GBP/JPY. The issue for any trader when using a renko chart is knowing what brick size to select, but with the renko optimiser this is delivered automatically and for all timeframes delivering the optimal setting at any time during the session. No more guesswork! Now the renko delivers the best setting for you whatever the market whether an index, commodity, stock or currency. And in addition it works beautifully with other indicators in the Quantum range. Here we see the Trend monitor and Trends indicators working together with the renko indicator to deliver all the tools you need to succeed using a non time based chart....

Using non time based charts to trade US indices at the open

September 4, 2018September 4, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/bsKIHlKcRjo In this session with Anna and David of Quantum trading, they focus here on the US markets and in particular the US indices using Quantum Trading indicators and tools for NinjaTrader. Using non time based charts is a popular approach for intraday traders, and in this session they focus on the NQ emini, the futures contract for the Nasdaq 100. The reason non time based charts are so popular is very simple, as they reveal market momentum, something you never see on a time based chart. As the market speeds up and slows down, so this is revealed graphically on the chart itself. The two charting approaches used here are using renko and tick. Quantum Trading has developed a unique variant of the standard renko indicator and called the renko optimiser, which does exactly what it says. Selecting the optimal brick size is often just a guess, but not with this indicator which delivers the correct renko brick size for all...

Fundamentals for the GBP and the NZD/USD in focus in today’s London forex session

September 4, 2018September 4, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/uqUt3dRh0Xo In this morning's forex session with Anna and David of Quantum Trading, the session starts with Anna considering some of the fundamental drivers for the British pound, and of course Brexit. Over the next few months we are likely to see increasing volatility as the negotiations reach their conclusion. Whether agreement is reached or not, one thing you can be sure of is that each statement or announcement will send the pound sharply higher or lower across the complex. The New Zealand dollar was the pair in focus on the NinjaTrader platform bringing together many of the VPA lessons on the faster timeframes, with a decisive move lower signalled across the complex on the currency array and also on the currency strength indicator. One of the key issues for all traders managing the emotional stress created when a market pauses and reverses, in other words from the primary into the secondary trend, before establishing the initial trend once more. Here we...

Great VPA lessons on the Swiss franc

August 29, 2018August 29, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/yNvSwgRt-B4 This morning's session with Anna and David of Quantum Trading followed both the London and European open, with the Swiss franc the currency in focus and in particular for the Swiss yen. The timeframe here was the 30 minute with the longer term bullish trend picking up momentum once more with volume driving the pair higher, as shown on the annotated example. Throughout this phase of price action the trend monitor has helped to confirm the trend as the bearish trend weakened before picking up the bullish tone with a consequent rotation from bright red to bright blue. More importantly, even though the trend paused, the trend monitor with the trend line continued to flag bullish sentiment and helping to keep traders in the trend. This is one of the hardest things to do in trading as the emotional response is to close out and take any profit off the table resulting in a small profit, rather than a larger one...

August 23, 2018August 23, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/nPZJa2zqzxA A great session this morning with David and myself and we started with the EUR/AUD which has been rising strongly for the last few days, and one of the lessons from our private trading chat room where we support our forex education program members. This was an example of an annotated chart of the EUR/AUD posted in the forum in real time and explaining some of the key VPA lessons. One of the hardest things to do in trading is to stay in a trend once a position begins to develop into profit, particularly when the trend pauses and starts to pull back or reverse. This happens in all timeframes and is when the market pauses and moves into congestion. So how do we know whether this is a true change in the primary trend, or simply a move into a secondary trend before re-establishing the primary trend once more, and this is where volume price analysis steps in. This is...

July 26, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/-5MMfQ-uu5Q Recording of this morning's London forex session with the Aussie yen in focus in risk off start to the trading day. It was a risk off start to the trading day with the Japanese yen being bought universally across the market, and with the focus on the Aussie yen in particular. The Quantum currency array indicator highlighted this perfectly in the session with some excellent price action.

How to isolate and focus on your currency pair on MT5

May 1, 2018May 1, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/Rk4r7QMSd6Q In this video we explain how to isolate out the currency pair using the currency strength indicator, and then to add further focus to the chart by including the currency index in our trading work-space. In this example it's the GBP/JPY which is our focus, and on the currency strength indicator all the other currencies have been turned off, allowing us to see instantly and clearly where the two currencies are in their journey. This can be done easily and quickly using the toggle buttons on the indicator. Here we can see the Yen is rising strongly and the British pound is falling strongly and so developing the strongly bearish trend we see on the chart. In other words the perfect combination, where we have strength in one currency reinforced with weakness in the other. This is confirmed by the trend monitor indicator, the support and resistance indicator and of course volume. Finally to help focus further on this pair, we have added...

How the MT5 currency matrix reveals market sentiment

April 9, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/tYxQgRGHcjI In this video which comes towards the end of the London session and the start of the US session, we highlight how the currency matrix helps to identify the universal sentiment to the Canadian dollar. In this example the USD dollar has been strongly bullish before reversing to bearish and coupled with very strong buying of the Canadian dollar which is shown on the currency strength indicator. On the currency matrix we then isolate our the Canadian dollar which confirms that sentiment across the CAD complex is universal. In other words, the CAD is being bought against all other primary currencies and as revealed on the 10 minute ranking ladder with the 20 minute timeframe starting to develop in the same way.

GBP/JPY begins to turn on the daily chart

October 2, 2017 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

The currency strength indicator on the daily timeframe has been signalling the UK pound as strongly overbought (yellow line) and the Japanese yen (magenta line) as oversold for some time, and today has finally seen the pair move lower following last week's extended congestion phase in the 151 area of the chart. This period of price action was preceded with the two bar reversal, sending an intial signal of weakness following the overreaction to hawkish comments from the BOE, with wide spread price action in the up move, not supported or validated with volume. |For any such move, volumes should have been dramatically higher, a clear sign of the lack of participation by the insiders, and signal of a trap being set. The trap has now been sprung and helped lower with weak UK economic data as the new month begins. As we can see from the currency strength indicator on the left we have some way to go, and moving to...

Divergence in euro complex

March 7, 2016 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

From a technical perspective last week was not an easy one for the euro with a divergence of sentiment across the complex. Against the USD it found some much needed support at the 1.0825 support level, which provided the springboard for a move up and through the VPOC on the daily chart at the key 1.09 price point. The pair managed to maintain this bullish momentum through to the end of week before finally ending the week at 1.1004 on reasonable volume. However, this move higher has, so farfailed to follow through in today's trading session with the 100 ema providing the cap. Bearish sentiment towards the euro has also increased in the futures market where shorts have added 18.1k contracts taking the total gross short position to 172.5k, the largest increase since November 2015. This week we also have the ECB interest rate decision and obligatory press conference, and given the current economic downturn in the eurozone, the market is...
