A terrific day of emini trading using tick and time charts

March 24, 2019 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

This was one of those days we call a red letter day, with the ES emini, the YM emini and the NQ emini all delivering wonderful trading oppportunities for the scalping intraday index trader using the Quantum Trading tools and indicators. Here we used a blend of time based and not time based charts, with the renko and the tick charts revealing momentum, and then blended with the time based charts for applying volume price analysis. Here the Tickspeedometer is the go to indicator, delivering the real time optimal tick speeds for our tick charts, and with the renko optimiser also offering the same, a power combination of non time based charts to support our time based analysis. The best of both. https://youtu.be/T54yYrbtERg...

Gold delivers during the day trading session

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 https://youtu.be/l3hkkT6PcZw...

The volume point of control confirmed it all!

February 22, 2019 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

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...

Day trading the ES emini on tick charts and tickspeedometer delivers solid profits

January 10, 2019 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

An interesting session for US indices where despite the relatively narrow price action, the tick charts delivered some solid trading profits for intraday scalping traders. The focus in this session was on the ES emini, the most heavily traded index, and using tick charts in combination with the Ninjatrader Tickspeedometer indicator. This approach delivered some solid results despite the fact markets were waiting for FED chair Powell to deliver a speech to the Economic Club of Washington DC, with a question and answer session to follow. It was no surprise to see markets trading in a relatively tight range, but nonetheless delivering for the emini scalping trader. https://youtu.be/5D7MM3Ffik8...

US mid-term elections dominate price action in all markets

November 6, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

Waiting for the US mid term elections was reflected in the markets this afternoon, and following an initial move higher, that was it for the rest of the session as all three indices rotated around the VPOC on the fast timeframe charts and lacking both direction and participation. The price action was no great surprise given the political landscape along with the FED decision due on Thursday. But as always on such days, it reminds us we have to be patient and wait for the trading opportunities to arrive and not force them, where none exist which was the case for index traders today. This general lack of momentum was also reflected in related markets with the US dollar and gold both trading in narrow ranges. The terrific price action of October, a nightmare for investors, but joyous for traders, now seems to be a dim and distant memory as we wait for the Santa Claus rally to appear on the...

A terrific ES emini day for traders – which just keeps giving!

October 29, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

A terrific session today for trading US markets, and in particular the indices, with the ES, the NQ and YM leading the way. Following an early recovery, bearish sentiment picked up as the session developed with the ES E-mini index delivering some easy points using the renko indicator, the tick charts and the time based charts as a strong reversal took hold across all three. This was one of the days when trading such moves is low risk and high reward with volume price analysis leading the way and supported by the Quantum tools and indicators. Just a great session with some straightforward low risk high reward trading opportunities. So a terrific session for index traders which continued to deliver after the end of the webinar. https://youtu.be/731gk9R9nnw...

Now that’s what I call a reversal!!

October 24, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

A terrific session on the US markets as the plunge in equities during the morning, was reversed in the afternoon with an equally strong recovery, with the three sister indices all closing on the day with an extreme wick to the lower body and a close near the high of the session. A fantastic trading day and one with many VPA lessons, not least the importance of understanding the relational aspects of market behaviour of bonds and currencies all of which sent clear signals of this change in sentiment. https://youtu.be/sp76-cYO6lU...

When volume really does reveal the truth behind the price action

October 16, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/aHAf6LAAgkE An excellent trading session for US indices, commodities and stocks following the extreme moves of last week and at times such as this, volume price analysis becomes ever more powerful in helping to reveal the truth behind the price action. What was interesting here was the volume associated with the wide spread down candle which was the precursor to extreme volatility which followed and which is likely to continue for the next few days as markets calm after the storm. Whilst the volume associated with the candle was high, as we explained in the session, this appears to be an anomaly and certainly when compared to volume on the following day which was extreme, and highlighted this anomaly further. So what are we to make of this, and all was explained in the session as we focused on the YM emini daily chart along with other US indices. And for intraday index traders, we picked up a great move in the...

A wonderful day for reversal traders in US markets

October 9, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

A real game of two halves today in the US day trading session with the risk off sentiment expressed in the first half, duly replaced with a return to risk on, as the major US indices and exchanges reversed all the losses of the first part of the session to close near or above the opening price. In this session we focused on the YM emini index with some classical price action, both intraday and on the daily chart itself. Volume price analysis as always is the starting point, and with last week's NFP still fresh in the mind, the prospect of rising interest rates had taken their toll on the markets. However, on both the 4th and 5th of October, whilst the indices fell during the session, they also recovered off the lows and more importantly on high volume, sending a clear signal that the big operators were buying and absorbing the selling pressure. Indeed this was the pattern we...

Volume price analysis tips for day trading stocks on NinjaTrader

September 17, 2018 by Quantum Trading Comment Closed

https://youtu.be/ABhHFzTn87M A great session with Anna and David of Quantum Trading as they explain how to get started day trading stocks using the NinjaTrader platform. In the webinar they check out some of the great sites to use for filtering stocks, and then focus on one or two which meet your day trading criteria. One such example was Acorda Therapeutics with the ticker ACOR and which despite the recent sharp move lower offer an excellent trade to the long side in this session. Using a combination of timeframes and the Quantum Trading tools and indicators on the renko and tick charts all combined to deliver an excellent return and all underpinned by volume price analysis....
