In this segment from the forex trading session this morning we focus on the currency majors and explain how to use the spot markets and futures markets to identify flows, and also reveal different relationships using volume price analysis. And late in the session we pick up a nice reversal trade which is signalled with strong buying volume and the currency which is heavily oversold on the currency strength indicator.

Forex trading success is all about choosing the right currency pair and the starting point is the currency strength indicator. Here strength and weakness in the individual currencies is revealed simply and clearly which is why we call it out sonar on the market. Like the device trawlers use to locate shoals of fish, so we use it to identify reversals and strong trends in the building blocks of the markets - the currencies themselves. However, when a currency is rising or falling strongly, this does not mean it is doing this across the complex, and so we are constantly looking for the a strong move for the counter currency in the opposite direction. So if the currency is rising strongly, we want to match it with one which is falling equally strongly. Why? Because this will deliver the greatest momentum in the trend.

Sentiment in the financial markets is expressed as risk-on or risk-off, and following the release of Chinese data overnight, market reaction could best be described as mixed with not universal agreement in risk asset classes.

Sessions crossovers arrive daily and the big one is always when the London forex market gets underway with the deepest liquidity. This is when the market makers are at their most active from 8am UK time with volatility, reversals and congestion following. Some of the traps are on high volume as the market makers participate, others on low volume, but all are clearly signalled with volume price analysis and the volatility indicator for MT4, MT5, NinjaTrader or Tradestation.
