One of the central planks of trading is to use multiple timeframes. But how about using multiple charts for non-time-based charts? Well both are excellent in their own right, so why not combine the two trade using a blend of time and non-time-based charts and this is what we cover in this session! It is the perfect blend to day trade stocks, index futures, currency futures, spot forex or commodities and bonds. In fact any market and with the Quantum Trading indicator, you have the perfect tools to create such a workspace. First, you have the renko optimizer indicator which delivers the optimal brick size for any market and at any time during the session. Or you can use the Tickspeedometer to deliver the optimal tick chart settings for your three tick charts. And then simply use the associated time based charts to give you that all-important view using volume price analysis.

In this video we explain one of the key planks of technical analysis and also volume price analysis which is support and resistance. But support and resistance using both volume and price. We are all familiar with using price-based support and resistance but using volume is equally powerful and when used together give a complete picture.

In the first part of the US day trading session I focus on the US 30 which is a great way to get started trading indices as it does not require a specialist futures brokers account and moves in the same way. And here I also explain the importance of levels and flows which define market sentiment as it moves between risk-on and risk-off in this and related markets. Levels can be defined in many ways and the most common are off course from a price based perspective, but here I also use volume and the Camarilla Levels indicator.

The problem for most traders is holding a position in the market once the trend is underway, and not to be bounced out in the inevitable round of pullnbacks and minor reversals which occur in all timeframes. No trend ever moves smoothly higher or lower without pausing and reversing against you and this is when emotion kicks in, and a decison is taken to close the position at a small profit. The problem then is one where a trader has several small lossess but few smaller profits and so the trading account fails to move forwards. To achieve this, profitable trends need to be maximised and this is where volume price analysis steps in to help and delivers a powerful tool in the trading armourry to help overcome this emotional response which can be so damaging.

Many traders talk of risk and reward and the fact they do not take a trade unless there is a 3 to 1 risk reward ratio or 2 to 1 - but how do they know, and does the market actually care what they need or want! There is a simple and logical way to assess the risk on each trade, and any potential reward by studying the chart and from there deciding whether to take the trade or not. The chart will reveal in multiple timeframes what is ahead and therefore likely to offer support or resistance, or where the market is likely to congest. Then and only then can you make a decision based on your reading of the chart.

In this video from the London forex trading session and using one of the currency cross pairs, we explain Wyckoff's second law using the GBP/NZD. The principle of the second law is that of time and is described using the terms cause and effect. In other words the greater the cause or time a congestion phase has been building, the more sustained should be the trend once the congestion phase breaks down and the trend develops.

Trading using multiple timeframes is a well-established plank for any approach, but how about using the same timeframe across related markets or pairs? In this video we show you how using the US dollar as an example with a currency majors matrix. This reveals the power of the volume price analysis methodology and how using this approach you can add a further three-dimensional approach to your forex trading.

The agreement between EU member states on the bailout package would normally be perceived as good news by many forex traders, yet the euro has fallen. Here's why and it's all to do with the bond markets and in particular the spreads between Italy and Germany which hold the long term key for the direction of the single currency.

Using volume reveals the truth behind the price action and this methodology can be applied equally well to the forex market using tick activity as a proxy volume. Discover how in this example on the AUD/JPY from this morning's London forex trading session.
