Two great trades on the GBP/USD using volume price analysis

Two great trades on the GBP/USD using volume price analysis At the start of the London forex trading session, the market was buying the US dollar across the complex, a fact confirmed by considering this in both the spot and futures markets along with the currency array indicator for NinjaTrader. The GBP/USD was one in particular with an excellent move lower, before reversing with a terrific volume signal as the buyers stepped in to reverse the trend with the BOE chairman helping to drive the sentiment. https://youtu.be/NrF8j0XGJjg Introduction and Dollar Index Overview 00:14 The speaker begins by ensuring audio clarity and shifts focus to analyzing the US dollar, emphasizing the significance of the dollar index at a critical point.

What’s next for the US dollar ahead of the election?

What’s next for the US dollar ahead of the election?

What's next for the US dollar ahead of the election? As the FED strives to maintain confidence in US markets, all eyes are now focused on the US dollar in the run to the US elections, and with so many factors driving sentiment, each and every one could be a factor. This week alone sees eighteen comments from FED members, and with the pandemic continuing to dominate, the death of US Supreme Court judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, this too has added a significant twist to the possible outcome. All of this and much more will play out in the US dollar over the next few weeks, and with it languishing in the low 90's on the daily chart, from a technical perspective, it has the potential to regain the 100 handle once more, a level not seen since May. https://youtu.be/yV4ARqhmvt8 00:01 Introduction and trading disclaimer 00:01 The speaker apologizes for the delayed start caused by distractions at home.

Is the trade you are considering worth taking?

Is the trade you are considering worth taking?

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! https://youtu.be/x-kqt_w8qUQ 00:12 Introduction and workspace setup 00:12 The speaker warmly welcomes the audience and adjusts the workspace layout to focus on multiple time frames for chart analysis, including 15 seconds, 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 50 minutes, and daily charts.

The starting point for your forex trading day – the currency dashboard

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. https://youtu.be/XsLiEzOvFe8 00:01 Webinar introduction and disclaimer 00:01 The webinar begins with a welcome and an apology for technical...

A lesson in how to select the best currency pair to trade with trend strength

A lesson in how to select the best currency pair to trade with trend strength

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. https://youtu.be/rS6hgiODSCA 00:11 Introduction to Pound Yen Reversal 00:11 The speaker discusses a live trading setup focusing on the Pound Yen currency pair, highlighting a technical reversal driven...
