No need for a futures account to trade the Dow Index - use MT4 or MT5 The MT4 platform is often regarded as one which is focused on forex, which is certainly true, but over the years increasingly other markets have been embraced both on MT4 and MT5. And the US indices are no exception and so offer a great way to get started without the need for a futures broker and with hugely reduced margin requirements. In this part of the US trading session I show you how and also the importance of understand the key levels defined by support and resistance, volume, and also the Camarilla levels indicator. https://youtu.be/GfSU3PZTNcs 00:11 Introduction to Renko workspace and multiple time frames 00:11 The presenter introduces their Renko workspace, highlighting its unique features and the ongoing reversal that illustrates the effectiveness of using multiple time frames.

A blend of time and non-time-based charts gives you the perfect approach to trading Using a blend of time- and non-time-based charts gives you the perfect combination for trading any market. Non-time-based charts reveal the one thing a time-based chart never shows, and that's momentum, and the Renko optimiser for NinjaTrader is one such example. But there is always a problem with non-time-based charts: deciding on the settings. With the Renko optimiser, this is done for you, delivering the optimal settings at any time during the trading session. The Renko chart also smoothes out price action and delivers smooth trends, as we see here, and is even more powerful when used in this multiple-chart approach. https://youtu.be/EJB-Mrn1Vqg 00:11 Introduction to renko workspace and multi-timeframe charts 00:11 The speaker introduces their Renko workspace, highlighting its unique functionality and current reversal pattern. They explain the advantage of using multiple time frames simultaneously, displaying 15-second, 30-second, and one-minute time-based charts at the bottom.

Markets exhausted after extraordinary rally on COVID news The markets took a breather yesterday following the extraordinary rally on the news of a possible vaccine and it was no surprise to see many congest, with indices flat and indeed the NQ emini reversing and weakening. Gold on the other hand was attempting to recover from a huge sell-off along with silver whilst the yen currency matrix took a breather.

November 11, 2020February 12, 2026 by Anna Coulling Comment Closed

Volume price analysis for scalping futures In this part of the US futures trading session, we move to the fast timeframes of 15-second charts and above as the markets continue to congest and moves sideways following the strong moves of the previous day. This is only to be expected following the appearance of the volatility indicator on the daily charts for many commodities and yen currencies, sending a clear message of congestion ahead. Some excellent short term opportunities arrived and clearly signaled with volume price analysis which confirms and validates the price action, supported of course by the Quantum Trading indicators. https://youtu.be/w88ZIuWlYeQ 00:10 Introduction to Forex Funded Accounts 00:10 The speaker welcomes the audience and introduces the forex funded accounts program, which starts with evaluation accounts at $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000.

Trading the Dow Jones index during the US futures trading session. https://youtu.be/XRHQTNQcPtY 00:12 Trading Globex vs combined cash and electronic markets 00:12 The speaker discusses the difference between trading on the Globex electronic market alone versus trading when both the cash market and electronic market operate simultaneously. Using an example of the London forex session starting at 8 AM UK time, they explain that price action on Globex tends to be more measured and less volatile, showing a steady trend development. The visual indicators transition through various colors, representing changes in market conditions and price trends, illustrating the contrast in price action and volume during different trading periods. The speaker also notes the recent UK clock adjustment affecting the timing. 01:52 US market open impacts volatility and volume 01:52 The U.S. markets now open at half past one instead of half past two, leading to a surge in volume and significant volatility with large price swings and whipsaws.

How to spot reversals using volume price analysis - this time for oil A terrific reversal for oil futures clearly signaled using the volume price analysis methodology and delivering a nice trend higher for scalping oil traders on the WTI futures contract. https://youtu.be/Wo_kklS0Gnk 00:05 Introduction to indices and time frames 00:05 The speaker begins by discussing three key indices (YM, NQ, ES) observed on both five-minute and daily time frames, noting their alignment. Throughout the trading session starting at 8 AM UK time, the indices have been trading around the volume point of control, indicating a steady but unexciting market. This stability reflects market participants' cautiousness as they await upcoming events, resulting in a grinding trading environment for both Globex and cash markets. 01:17 Analyzing the daily profiles over the past three days, the speaker highlights a failed attempt to rally characterized by falling volume, which typically signals weak upward momentum. Despite some upward price movements, the decreasing volume suggests low participation and interest from buyers. This pattern...

The power of volume price analysis for scalping index traders Even when markets are trading in congestion, it's possible to make money trading them. All it means it you have to be quick and take a smash and grab approach to trading and in particular what this means is moving either to the very fast timeframes as we show here using the YM Emini future in the live US session, or alternatively moving to a non-time-based chart such as a Renko or tick chart. All these approaches are equally valid and in this session, we focus on showing you how to use the 15-second chart to trade as the future moves in a narrow range.
