Pulling It All Together

This video introduces this section where we pull everything together with videos covering VPA lessons, Wyckoff’s laws, the Quantum trading indicators, and finally a number of live market sessions which bring everything together.

In this video Anna highlights the key trading principles which apply universally, whatever the tactic or timeframe.

In this video Anna explains the three primary tactical approaches you can consider as a forex trader, and these are reversal trading, trend trading and breakout trading.

In this video Anna explains the key elements you need to consider in developing your own trading plan.

It’s all in the preparation and here Anna highlights those key areas to focus on before you jump in and take a position in the market.

In this video we start with the primary currency indices of the US dollar, and Japanese yen and the euro. This is always the starting point which provides the framework for the session.

In this video we focus in on the three indices of the USD, the JPY and the EUR and in particular how this is then reflected on the currency strength indicator alongside.

In this video Anna explains the principles of the next step which is using the currency strength indicator across multiple timeframes.

In this video David continues with the multiple CSI’s and explains the importance of choosing your tactical approach before you enter the market.

In this video Anna highlights a couple of very important sites which will help you in your understanding of the fundamental news. One relates to country economics and the other is to help you understand who is a hawk and who is a dove on the central bank panels around the world.

In this video we move to the next stage of the analysis which is to consider the currency matrix and sentiment across the complex for the pair we are focused on.

In this video we continue considering the currency matrix for the British pound and then move from the MT5 platform to the NinjaTrader platform to focus on the GBP/CHF where a strong move is underway. But here we focus on the power of the indicators, and in particular the trend monitor and the volatility indicators.

In this video Anna moves to the currency array and from there to the charts for the euro which is very bearish at present, and in particular against the USD.

In this video David revisits the GBP/CHF trade of earlier and in particular following the trigger of the volatility indicator which cause the pair to move into congestion on the 5m timeframe, with the signal having appeared on the 30m timeframe.

In this video Anna focuses on the USD/CAD ahead of the major news release for the Canadian dollar.

In this video David moves to the NInjaTrader platform to take a closer look at the USD/CAD following the news. And here it’s all about volume and price – is this a trap move on the news, or a genuine one? All revealed by considering the volume associated with the wide spread up candle!

Anna continues her focus on the USD/CAD and on the MT5 platform and in particular considering some of the wider array of timeframes which are available on this platform, and how this can help provide a further perspective on this 24 hour market.

In this video Anna moves to the Aussie dollar pair, and highlights the variation in participation through the sessions of the 24 hour market, and as using the 8 hour chart on the MT5 platform, which really highlights this aspect very nicely. After all each session can be considered as an 8 hour timeframe and so the 8 hour chart is an interesting one which breaks the 24 hour market into three equal sessions which can then be viewed from a volume and price perspective.

In this video we move away from forex to consider one of the many related markets, and in this case it’s oil as we have been focusing on the Canadian dollar in earlier videos. And in addition we have moved to the Ninjatrader platform and tick charts, which like renko charts, are independent of time. But once again the same principles of using multiple charts and indicators applies.

In this video Anna explains that it’s no our way or the highway – in other words, using volume price analysis and the trading tools and indicators can then be blended into other approaches. Here Anna considers Fibonacci and used in conjunction with the Camarilla levels indicator which provides a blend. So whatever your current approach may be, this can then be blended into VPA and used alongside in associated with the Quantum indicators. Another classic example here is Elliott wave.

Some great lessons here with the EUR/USD in focus on the NinjaTrader platform. And it’s the currency array which really highlights the strength of selling in the euro, but this is very much against the US dollar, whilst agains the commodity currencies the euro is in fact being bought – the opposite in fact. Nothing wrong with trading against the broad market sentiment, but its knowing when that counts and this is what the array and the matrix are all about.

There is nothing wrong with using simple moving averages and indeed they are one of the most popular indicators. The problem is, most traders cannot identify the market conditions correctly and so use them in the correct way. We use the sea states to describe price action in the market, and in trending markets they work perfectly – but in congestion phases they are almost useless, and have little value. Understanding and recognising the price action is therefore key, and once understood the humble simple moving average becomes a valid and valuable tool in your trading armory.

In this video we move back to NinjaTrader and to the yen complex with the Aussie yen in focus, with more great lessons. First of course comes the risk aspect which is always a key part of any yen pair. Then we consider the array and an anomaly with the USD/JPY and by simply isolating out the USD complex we can see why, instantly and clearly. This is how to approach each and every trading opportunity to consider it from both sides, and then and only then to make a trading decision.

In this video Anna takes a closer look at the currency heatmap and explains one of the classic ways to use the indicator for considering longer term positions in the market. Here she looks at a couple of bullish currency pairs which rank at the top of the heatmap, and now offering potential longer term opportunities to the short side, once confirmed with volume price analysis.

In this video we explain the steps in which to consider and apply the indicators as you begin your search for a trading opportunity in the forex market. The analysis starts following your pre-flight check where you have already analysed the three major currency indices of the US dollar, the Japanese yen and the euro. Then we begin with the currency strength indicator as the starting point which will confirm what you have already seen reflected in the indices. Then its on to the charts and back to the currency specific indicators once more before completing the job as you prepare to trade either with the time based charts or perhaps using the renko and tick charts.

In this video we walk through the 12 point checklist which you should follow at the start of every trading day. This gives you all the vital information you need before going to the charts and trading, and is the pre-flight checks all trader should make before any trades are taken. Preparation is the name of the game – no one plans to fail, but many traders fail to plan. This is the planning and preparation phase.
