YM moves opposite to ES due to index composition
00:10

Reversal trading using the volume point of control
If you're looking to take a reversal trade in the forex market, one place to look is the currency strength indicator.

Is the trade you are considering worth taking?
Trading is a risky business. Money chasing higher risk for higher returns, lower risk for lower returns. But when it comes to assessing the risk on the trade, how do we do it? And there is a simple answer to this question. Use the chart. This is the market telling you where it is likely to pause and congest, where it is likely to move quickly through low volume nodes on the volume point of control. All the information is there and when used in multiple timeframes will answer the question for you quickly and more importantly in a logical and common-sense way!

The starting point for your forex trading day - the currency dashboard
Not sure where to start when you settle at your trading screen ahead of another forex trading session? The answer is to start with the currency dashboard from Quantum Trading which gives you a complete window on the world of currencies. Start with the currency strength indicator, which reveals those currencies which are moving strongly, those which are in congestion, and those which are overbought or oversold. From there it's off to the charts to analyze the price action and associated volume.
Then, on to the currency matrix for sentiment across the complex, followed by the currency array, which reveals the currency pairs trending strongly and moving toward overbought or oversold conditions. And finally, to the currency heatmap for an assessment of the trend across the timeframes and for some longer-term reversal opportunities on the ranking ladder.

A lesson in how to select the best currency pair to trade with trend strength
How do you choose the best currency pair to trade? And what do we mean by best? Most of the time we are looking for strong trends, either a reversal in sentiment where the trend reverses or the continuation of an existing trend. But how do we know which is likely to deliver the strongest trend, and the answer is simple. We match the strongest with the weakest and in doing so are likely to see the strongest trend as a result. The indicator we use to do this is the currency strength indicator which highlights instantly and visually which currencies are rising strongly, which are falling strongly and just as important those which are moving sideways and therefore have neither strength or weakness.
