An extraordinary day for intraday traders as risk-off sentiment took hold, driving the markets with momentum, and creating a perfect storm. For scalping and intraday traders the biggest problem was in deciding which instruments and markets to trade with a myriad of opportunities in all timeframes. As always volume price analysis provided all the signals supported by the Quantum Trading tools and indicators.

There are many advantages to using a Renko chart one of which is it can help to deliver good trading opportunities even in difficult, tight range markets. One example is from the gbp/aud on a quiet day yet when set at a fixed value of 2 pips per brick managed to produce over 80 pips.
The version of the Renko shown here is for MT5 and allows traders to select either a fixed value (as we have on the chart) or use the ATR function that is built into the indicator.
And this chart also includes the Quantum trends and trend monitor which can help with entries and exits as well as holding a trend....
Another excellent session as the US markets get underway with risk on returning with the primary indices all climbing and driven by a currency pact between the US and China. Focus on the session was on the YM emini, with the Yen index falling strongly and reflecting this sentiment. The yen was sold strongly on the currency strength indicator, the Yen index, and on the currency future of the 6J JPY/USD all reinforcing the picture and offering a low risk trading opportunity.

A very typical day trading the indices as we focus on the YM Emini index. Bearish price action in the early part of the session was replaced later in the day with a nice reversal off a deep hammer candle. Both tick charts and renko charts reveal momentum as they are non-time based, and so give a clear view on participation and momentum which was lacking in this session. Scalping these markets requires speed and timing, and choosing levels of where to enter and likely return.

It was another session where patience was required for index traders. But for gold traders, the US dollar gave the precious metal a helping hand lower and nice steady trade

Another session for day trading the US indices where patience and more patience was required, but as always it’s volume spread analysis coupled with the Quantum Trading tools and indicators which helps to keep us safe and stop us from jumping in and then regretting this decision. The volatility indicator was once again much in evidence as indeed was the accumulation and distribution indicator for NinjaTrader, helping to define those key levels of price support and resistance which are so important.
The volume point of control was also much in evidence with the primary US indices of the ES, the YM, and the NQ all rotating around key levels as price agreement was reached in the faster timeframes. The tick charts too also confirmed this lack of interest and participation with the tickspeedometer indicator delivering very clear messages of danger ahead as the red warning signals flashed loud and clear. The messages were clear – wait and be patient. The trades...
Another great session with all the markets in focus from commodities and indices to stocks. Some great trading lessons here in all markets and timeframes on the NinjaTrader platform and using the Quantum Trading indicators.
