Given the slew of data this week, it would always be a volatile trading week. The first was the CPI which, coming in slightly better than expected, resulted in markets initially rushing higher before falling sharply lower. The second big event was, of course, the FOMC. Once again, the market duly delivered volatile trading conditions in both equities and forex, with risk pairs such as the aud/usd responding accordingly. The 30 min chart for the pair illustrates the market's reaction with more extreme knee-jerk type moves on the CPI and more whipsawing during the FOMC. This is to be expected as the CPI is a straightforward, instant release, while the FOMC happens over a period of time and includes a press conference where traders and algos will react to comments by Jay Powell.
It is during such events that our volatility indicator will trigger in real-time. In other words, two purpose dots will appear as the candle is forming. This tells...
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.

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.

Support & resistance is a key pillar of volume price analysis. In this video, we consider the S&P500 via the SPY ETF given its role as a global benchmark index for risk. This may seem an odd choice for forex traders but equities are considered risk assets and have a strong correlation with risk currencies such as Aussie and Kiwi.

Markets can and do rise on lower-than-average volume. In this video, we consider the daily chart for the SPY and must wait for the weekly close to see if the current trend higher is likely to continue.
Understanding the SPY: The S&P 500 ETF
The SPY, or SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, is the most popular exchange-traded fund tracking the S&P 500 index. Launched in 1993, it provides exposure to 500 large-cap U.S. companies across sectors like technology, healthcare, and finance. SPY is highly liquid with massive daily volume, making it a favorite for day traders and investors. Its price mirrors the S&P 500, offering diversified market exposure in one trade. For day trading SPY, understanding its correlation with broader market sentiment is key—volume price analysis (VPA) reveals institutional intent behind moves.
Best Ways to Trade the SPY
Day trading SPY requires discipline and proven strategies. Here are effective approaches:
