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.
