Volume Spikes – Understanding & Exploiting them – 9th Jan, 4:30pm EST

On Tuesday, 9th January at 4:30PM EST, we’ll be presenting a webinar entitled “Volume Spikes: Understanding & Exploiting Them” over at futures.io. Click here to register for the webinar.

Different market types have different characteristics. Thinner markets like Crude, Gold, Natural Gas, Dax frequently have violent, high volume moves that signal the end of a move and the market turning around and trading in the opposite direction.
These big, scary extended moves look like they will continue forever until suddenly – the market starts moving the other way.

You cannot predict these moves but you can trade them. That may sound odd, so let’s put it another way… nobody knows where these moves will end but you can still make money from trading against them. There’s more than one way to skin a cat after all and while many traders are focused only on trying to guess where the end of the move will be (and usually failing), others are quite happy taking advantage without worrying about where it ends…

In this webinar we will look at why this trade works and how it works.
• What a volume spike is
• How the emotions of the participants in the spike change
• Identifying the ‘tipping point’
• Exploit the counter move for profit.

At the end of the webinar, you will have another trade in your toolkit. Something you can identify and start to implement over the coming weeks.

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN; IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK OF ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT TRADING RESULTS.
