Nvidia's big gap up also resulted in a volatility candle, with the price action subsequently retracing into the spread of the candle. This is what often happens when this indicator is triggered and can act as a warning signal the price is not going to follow through. Once in consolidation, it is the high and low of the candle which needs to be breached for a clear direction to emerge.

This week, some very volatile price action on the ES - the E-Mini Future for the S&P500 on the CPI release captured by our volatility indicator. These purple dots trigger in real-time when the price action is outside the average true range for the chart. As we can see, there was an extreme reaction to the CPI release with two huge wide spread candles, the second having a deep upper wick on falling volume, telling us loud and clear that a trap move was in progress.

As traders, volatility can be our greatest friend and our worst enemy. Volatility is simply the compression of time, as the price action moves with speed and momentum, resulting in wide spread or even extreme candles or price bars. In other words, the range of movement has occurred over a very short time, and if we are on the right side of the market, such price moves will be welcomed as we watch our positions increase dramatically. However, they are not so welcome if we are on the wrong side.
Most of the time, we know when to expect volatile price action, at important news releases, at the market open, at rollover, and session crossovers, but more often, it is unexpected and comes out of the blue, which is why we developed the Dynamic Volatility Indicator.
DVI gives us the perfect solution as it signals volatility in real-time, using the principles of average true range. The indicator constantly scans the price action...

As traders we need volatility but it can also trigger FOMO -the fear of missing out and result in bad trading decisions. This is where the Quantum Volatility indicator can help prevent such a situation from developing in the first place. This type of price action is always present at the Wall Street open when volatility is used to trap traders on the wrong side of the market.

One of the important phases of price action in any market is volatility. Why? Because two forces are at work. The first is the emotional fear of missing out, in other words FOMO. The second is the fact this is the time the market makers and insiders are at their most active. They understand FOMO and use it repeatedly to trap traders into weak positions, either following such a move with congestion, increasing the fear further, or simply reversing the price action and taking out stops. Either way it's win win for the insiders and a simple and powerful way for them to make money. Learn how and why in this video and discover how to avoid being trapped.
