Using the Currency Strength Indicator to Identify Forex Trading Reversal Opportunities
As we approach the year-end, for forex traders this represents a great time of year with plenty of volatility as volume falls in the run up to the holiday season. But this delivers plenty of excellent trading opportunities and the starting point as always is the currency strength indicator which helps to identify when a currency is overbought to oversold and hence guides you to the opportunities immediately.
From there, it's off to the charts, and check out the volume associated with any moves as you look for primary to primary trend reversals.
The CSI Is A Key Indicator
The currency strength indicator is a key tool for spotting forex reversals. It ranks currencies by relative performance. Extreme readings often signal overbought or oversold conditions. This highlights potential turning points before price fully reacts.
Combining with Volume Price Analysis
Volume price analysis (VPA) strengthens reversal signals from the indicator. Look for divergence: a currency at...
Markets move on risk appetite, short and simple. Risk on and risk off describes the flow of money as it moves from one market to another. But which charts and indices best describe risk and market sentiment?

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 (VPA) is essential here. News drives spikes. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low...

Are All Trends the Same? The Short Answer Is No!
Trends look similar at first glance. Price moves in one direction. But not all trends are equal. Volume price analysis (VPA) reveals the differences. This helps traders adapt strategies. Quantum indicators make spotting types easy.
In this video you will discover that now all trends are the same. Each is different and it pays to understand what type of trend you are trading before you enter any position in the forex market.
Trend with Momentum
Momentum trends build steadily. Price advances with increasing volume. Candles widen consistently. This shows growing conviction. Buyers (or sellers) dominate. Quantum Trend Monitor on NinjaTrader stays aligned. These trends last longer. Ride them with trailing stops.
Trend with Volatility
Volatile trends swing widely. Price surges then pulls back sharply. Volume spikes on extremes. This reflects sentiment shifts. VPA spots conviction—high volume on direction moves. Low volume pullbacks offer entries. Quantum volatility indicator highlights these phases.
Congested or Choppy Trends
Some "trends" are weak....
None of us are patient, yet when it comes to congestion phases this is where patience really does pay off, as these are the price regions where trends are created and born. And remember Wyckoff's second law of cause and effect, the longer the cause the greater will be the effect. In other words this brings time into the equation.

How to Trade Volatility in the Forex Market
Volatility in forex refers to the magnitude of price swings. High volatility means big moves—great for profits but risky. Low volatility means ranges—often frustrating. Trading volatility isn't about predicting direction perfectly. It's about positioning for movement (or lack of it) with discipline.
Successful volatility trading uses volume price analysis (VPA) for confirmation. High volume on swings shows conviction. Low volume warns of traps. Quantum tools enhance this on MT5 or NinjaTrader.
This morning's price action on the British pound was classic, following the release of UK news and the BOE statement. The primary pair for trading is of course cable, but the price action here was extreme, whipsawing in a wide range and making it almost impossible to trade. So what's the answer?
In short, look to other currency pairs and, in particular, the cross-currency pairs. In this case it was the GBP/AUD which delivered tradable opportunities which the GBP/USD did not. So remember, when you...
The agreement between EU member states on the bailout package would normally be perceived as good news by many forex traders, yet the euro has fallen. Here's why and it's all to do with the bond markets and in particular the spreads between Italy and Germany which hold the long term key for the direction of the single currency.

In the first part of the London forex trading session, I explain all you need to know to trade the euro with confidence ahead of a busy week for the single currency. And the question moving forward is whether Italy will be the next country to leave the EU and return to the lire which allowed it to manage the economy by devaluation.
