Much to the dismay of the BOJ (Bank of Japan), the yen continues to weaken, which has provided many trading opportunities. However, are we seeing this weakness coming to an end? In this video, David & I explore this reversal in sentiment in the gbp/jpy, across the timeframes. The daily chart can be extremely useful as it can signal the following day's trading environment. Meanwhile, David considers the faster timeframe and explains how the use of multiple timeframes and the Time Adjusted Renko can be used in trading.

In this video, David & I look at the price action on cable as well as the aud/usd during session crossovers and how the Renko chart can help with not only smarter entries and exits but also how it can help to keep us in a trade at a time when the market can be volatile.
David also introduced our new volume indicators, which will be launched in the coming weeks along with our new Stock Trading and Investing Program. To join the waitlist for more details, please just sign up here: https://bit.ly/3uCSxf5

Trading using multiple time frames is a skill all traders need to master, but this also applies to using our specialist forex indicators, such as the currency strength indicator. In this video, David explains how this approach can highlight potential trades and setups. In addition, he explains how the csi highlights flows into risk currencies, which can help us determine market sentiment. And he also looks at several vpa anomalies.

Some dramatic price action with the sterling pairs on news the UK and the EU may have reached an agreement on the impasse over Northern Ireland. News that a deal had been agreed resulted in GBP soaring higher across all our pairs, but as always with anything Brexit related, today has seen a cooling in the price action with the biggest reversal in gbp/jpy - affectionately known as the Yeppy.
We can see the setup clearly in the csi and captured with great precision by the Renko chart for MT4.

Since posting the above, the DXY has managed to test the volume point of control but is looking to close out today's trading session as a long-legged doji candle.

The Quantum volatility indicator captured dramatic price action in the yen pairs during this month's BOJ meeting, confirming what had already been signaled in the options market for the currency. The overnight implied volatility, which is the metric we watch, was at 50% (a six-year high), so violent price action was expected, of which the aud/jpy was one example. As we can see on the hourly chart featured above on the MT4 profile for the pair, we can 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 one of FOMO, with many jumping in just when the price is likely to pause or reverse, as in this case. This is a classic trader trap and happens all the time. However, when we read the...
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...
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 the strength and momentum of a trend, which 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, so 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 Quantumtickspeedometer, which calculates the optimal value for the chart and, in addition, uses a traffic light system to tell us 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...
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 travel left. 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 the price action will most often retrace into the spread of the candle and consolidate before any 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...
