The Quantum volatility indicator captured dramatic price action in the yen pairs during this month's BOJ meeting. This confirms what had already been signalled in the currency options market. The overnight implied volatility, which is the metric we watch, was at 50% (a six-year high). So a violent price reaction was expected, of which the aud/jpy was one example. As shown on the hourly chart above in the MT4 profile for the pair, we see the relentless move higher and the volatility trigger on the huge up candle. This trigger of the purple arrows happens in real time and warns us that the price action is outside the average true range for this time frame.
Trader reaction is usually FOMO, with many jumping in just as the price is likely to pause or reverse, as in this case. This is a classic trader's trap. It happens all the time. However, when we read the price action alongside volume, we can spot...
We are seeing some significant moves in sterling this week, and none more so than in the gbp/cad, a commodity cross pair that can often deliver solid and consistent trends. However, on a time chart, it can be challenging to gauge a trend's strength and momentum. This is why traders use either tick or Renko charts. For traders who like to use tick charts, the problem has always been knowing what tick value to use. They either guess or rely on values suggested by other traders. However, as activity and momentum in the market are constantly changing, these static values are no better than a time chart.
This is why we developed the Quantumtick speedometer, which calculates the optimal chart value and, in addition, uses a traffic light system to indicate when the market is active or not. The indicator is attached to a time chart, allowing us to use our volume price analysis methodology, which we can see on the...
This morning's move in the aud/usd was a great example of using multiple timeframes, including a Renko chart and all our Quantum indicators. The charts are from the MT4 platform, and since writing the analysis, the pair did indeed bounce higher once Wall Street opened.

As the DXY index (USD) continues to strengthen, many traders would like to know how much further it is likely to rise. The simple answer is that, from a historical perspective, the DXY reached a high of 151 in 1984, so there is plenty of room to run. We must consider the daily and monthly charts to view their current trajectory. The monthly is interesting because last month's price action triggered the Quantum Dynamic Volatility indicator, confirming the candle range is outside the ATR for this time frame. The reaction to this trigger is that price action will most often retrace into the candle's spread and consolidate before direction is re-established, which is what we are seeing now. In addition, last month's volatility candle gives us key support and resistance levels for the DXY.
The daily chart below is where we will find the week's important support and resistance levels. On this chart, we are using both price based levels generated...

Core Points From The Volume Price Analysis Tutorial
[00:00 ~ 06:55]
Introduction to Volume Price Analysis (VPA) Methodology
The webinar introduces a unique market analysis methodology called Volume Price Analysis (VPA), which focuses on the relationship between price action and volume as the two primary leading indicators. VPA incorporates five key elements: price action, volume, candlestick patterns, and, crucially, support and resistance. Support and resistance are emphasised as possibly the most important elements because they contextualise signals and prevent premature trades. The methodology is universal and can be applied to any asset class, any timeframe, and any chart type. This universality is highlighted by an example of a 3x leveraged semiconductor ETF, demonstrating that VPA signals remain consistent across less common instruments.
The presenters stress that mastering VPA and chart structure is foundational before employing any standard or proprietary indicators, including those developed by their company, Quantum Trading. Without understanding the chart narrative through VPA, indicators alone are ineffective. The session structure is outlined:...
A roundup of one of the busiest days for forex traders that started with the RBNZ interest rate decision and ended with the FOMC minutes. In this video, David & I cover the events of the day and their impact on the relevant currencies and currency pairs. We also focus on the Heatmap, an indicator that can be used both for intraday and longer-term trading. Intraday, the indicator can be used to monitor existing positions across multiple timeframes as the values are based on the currency matrix. The indicator then weights these values to rank the pairs allowing traders to look for reversals.

This morning's forex webinar gave us a great example of how cross-market analysis can help not only to explain price action but also its likely direction, particularly ahead of an important news release, which today was the FOMC.
