What UVXY actually is and how it differs from the VIX

How to read UVXY charts effectively for intraday trading
Practical strategies and tips for using...
Master Volume Price Analysis (VPA) Trading: What, Why & How Our Programs Will Transform Your Results
Tired of second-guessing price moves? Wondering why a “perfect” setup suddenly reverses against you? The answer is usually simple: you’re missing volume. At Quantum Trading Education, we teach Volume Price Analysis (VPA) — the powerful methodology pioneered by Anna Coulling that reads price and volume together to reveal what the smart money is really doing. In this guide we explain What VPA is, Why it matters, and How learning it directly with Anna and David will give you clearer, more confident trading decisions.
What Is Volume Price Analysis?
Volume Price Analysis (VPA) combines candlestick price action with volume to show true market conviction. High volume confirms strength. Low or falling volume often signals weakness, exhaustion, or a trap. When you master VPA you stop trading blind and start aligning with institutional buying and selling pressure. Our two flagship programs deliver this edge in a practical, step-by-step way:

Stop Chasing FOMO on ES Futures: Spotting 3 Classic Insider Volatility Candles on the Daily Chart with Quantum Volatility Indicator & VPA
If you trade the ES futures (E-mini S&P 500), you’ve almost certainly felt the gut-wrenching pain of FOMO — that irresistible urge to jump into a fast-moving market only to watch it reverse violently against you, often leaving your account lighter and your confidence shaken. The daily timeframe is where these traps show up most clearly. Dramatic volatility candles appear that look like powerful breakouts or breakdowns but quickly turn into costly congestion zones, sharp reversals, or both. In this in-depth post, we’re going to dissect the exact ES daily chart you see above (the same one I used in my recent schema video).
I’ll walk you through the three classic FOMO volatility candles marked on it, show you how the Quantum Dynamic Volatility Indicator flags them in real time, and explain how my Volume Price Analysis (VPA) methodology —...
Detailed Volume Price Analysis (VPA) – SPY 10-Minute Chart, March 17, 2026
This 10-minute chart of SPY (SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust) is a textbook example of why Volume Price Analysis is so powerful — especially at session opens and during volatility spikes. The principles you’ll see here apply exactly the same way in cryptocurrency markets (Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins), where fakeouts and traps happen even faster.
Premarket Price Action Crossing into the Cash Market Open
On the left side of the chart (premarket phase), SPY was building a slow, controlled bullish bias. We see a series of small-to-medium candles making higher highs and higher lows with relatively modest volume. This is typical pre-market behaviour — thin liquidity, limited institutional participation, yet enough buying interest to set what many traders would interpret as a bullish tone for the day. Then the cash market opens at 09:30.
The first 10-minute green candle after the open looks perfect.
Wide spread (strong upward price movement)
Solid close near...

The Historical Roots of VPA: From Tape Reading to Wyckoff's Legacy

This video focuses on the recent price action of gold futures on the daily chart, in particular, the volatility that sent the precious metal plummeting. However, volume price analysis reveals the truth behind the price action and the trap move created by market makers and insiders.

The speaker introduces the Ninja Trader platform and mentions that there is about an hour to an hour and a half left in the trading session. They plan to analyze the GC contract, which represents gold futures, across six different time frames ranging from 15 seconds to daily. The speaker notes that typically, the focus is on intraday charts for indices during these sessions.

In this video, Anna Coulling considers the SPY across various timeframes using volume price analysis to help give a view on where the index is heading next. This follows a long period of consolidation which has also embraced a big rotation out of technology and into other sectors which reminds us of the importance of keeping these charts on the radar.

Candle and chart patterns are an important aspect of volume price analysis, but it's also important to recognize that some have a higher probability of playing out. For example, double and triple tops & bottoms have a high probability of playing out, which we have seen on the Apple weekly chart. First, we had the double top, with the stock subsequently rebounding from the deep valleys at the $168 area. However, as shown on the weekly chart above, Apple now faces the possibility of a triple top. This results from Apple's failure to take out the highs of the double top peaks at $199 and yesterday's daily close of a bearish engulfing candle in high volume does not bode well for the stock. Interestingly, yesterday's price action was against the background of Apple's new announcements at the WWDC24 (Worldwide Developers Conference), where the focus was on AI & the integration with ChatGPT.
Based on comments in my X-feed, the jury seems...
