Several volume price analysis lessons here for cable
The 5-minute chart of cable offers several lessons in volume price analysis. First, we have to wait for signals to be confirmed, which is the case in the uptrend. The weakness is signalled clearly on high volume. This is followed by further signals of weakness as the move runs out of steam, before the reversal duly begins. Then, in the downtrend, as the reversal gets underway, we see the clear re-entry signals and opportunities to jump on the trend if we missed the initial signals.
Applying Volume Price Analysis to Forex: Using Tick Volume as a Proxy
Forex is the world's largest and most liquid market, but unlike stocks or futures, it is decentralized with no central exchange reporting true volume. This lack of centralized data means traditional volume figures are unavailable. Traders use tick volume as a proxy—the number of price changes (ticks) in a period. Tick volume correlates closely with actual trading activity,...

The session focuses on analyzing the forex market using a volume price analysis methodology developed over 20 years.

Two-volume price analysis lessons in one here on the daily chart for the GBP/JPY. First, we see rising prices and falling volume as the rally of late March stalls. This is an anomaly as we should expect to see rising prices supported with rising volume if the trend is to develop with real momentum. Then we move into the congestion phase. Note the fall in volume as price action narrows and trades around the volume point of control. Now, all we need to do is wait and be patient. The breakout will come in due course and be confirmed as genuine or false with volume.
The Historical Foundations of Volume Price Analysis
Volume Price Analysis (VPA) has its roots in the early days of technical analysis, dating back to Charles Dow's Dow Theory in the late 19th century. Dow emphasized that price movements must be confirmed by volume to be valid—high volume on advances showed strength, low volume warned of weakness. This...

No best currency pair for intraday trading
00:10
The speaker addresses a question about the best currency pair for intraday trading using CSI, emphasizing that there is no single best or perfect approach. Instead, the choice depends on what suits the individual trader. Some traders focus on one or a few pairs, while others trade any available pairs. The decision also depends on trading style, such as scalping, reversal trading, or trend trading, all of which relate to personal risk preferences. The speaker notes that this is a complex topic covered in detail in the program and promises to provide further explanation during the session.

Trading the GBP in the London Open: Strategies, Pairs, and VPA Insights
The London session (8 AM–5 PM GMT) is the most liquid and volatile forex period, accounting for ~35% of daily volume. For GBP traders, this is prime time—overlaps with Tokyo (early) and New York (later) create momentum spikes. GBP pairs shine here due to UK economic data releases (CPI, employment, BOE decisions) and high institutional participation. Volume price analysis (VPA) is essential: high volume on moves confirms conviction, low volume warns of traps. Traders using VPA avoid false breakouts common at session opens.

Multi-timeframe currency strength overview

The speaker discusses analyzing the euro currency across multiple timeframes—3, 5, 10, and 15 minutes—to get a comprehensive view of its movement. Early in the session, trading conditions were congested, making it difficult to find trades. Patience is emphasized while waiting for a move developing consistently across different timeframes. The euro showed strong climbing momentum on shorter timeframes, with similar patterns emerging on the 10- and 15-minute charts, although moves tend to be less pronounced on slower timeframes as expected.

And here is the trap revealed on the GBP/JPY pair from earlier!
The crossover from one session to another is one of the most profitable times for the market makers and here's why. We looked at the GBP/JPY at the start of the London forex session and saw the volatility which is ever present at such times. Now we can see the trap has been sprung and the market has reversed sharply. All those forex traders who jumped into this pair on FOMO, the fear of missing out, on the initial rapid move higher, are now trapped in weak positions and regretting their decision.

Focusing on the EUR/AUD in the London forex session and volume price analysis
In this video, Anna focuses on the EUR/AUD pair as the London forex session gets into full swing, applying Wyckoff principles, particularly effort and result, one of Wyckoff’s three laws. This is the third law, which in simple terms means price and volume. The effort is the volume, and the result is the price action, and whether this is in agreement with the volume or in disagreement. An anomaly in other words. Volume price analysis reveals the truth behind the price action.
