Boucause of margin and lots, in FX spot I have more possiility trading mini lots, but I'm thinking that sooner or later I will switch to Futures.

Thats what I thought. Size matters in trading. I do trade both but I massively adjust size, instruments and timeframes when trading futures.

True, futures and stocks are a lot better places to trade but the price to pay is having more capital....

I traded Italian futures an stock many years ago, but was another story.
I fell confortable With FX spot, the problem is lack of true volume, so i use Futures data.

You probably already now but if you try your volume analysis with the US Dollar Index Futures (for usd pairs) you may have even better results recognizing reversals... just my 2 cents

I followed US dollar index future but the volume analisys on it is not so useful, price moves in the difference manner cos it's aggregate from 6 pairs.

I am not sure if you are right on that one. All "real" reversals and swings in the Dollar index are exactly the same in the US pairs. What it can change is the size of the move.

If the move is caused by dollar fundamentals it will reflect in all pairs more less the same. If the move is cause by the other side of the pair (eur,yen,etc) the move will be bigger in that pair and smaller in the others.

What the dollar index may reflect is an earlier & broader way to recognize when a potential move is going to develop.

In theory, If a us pair move without a move in the index, it means pure speculations and fade setups.

In any case I don't want to interfere with your trading. So best of luck on what you are doing.

I'm agree with u, I only told that volume analisys don't work well on us dollar index cos it does not reflects the price movement.
The price moves also for supply and demand on the others 6 pairs and not only for the buy and sell on itself.

Yes i do understand where are you coming from.

My point was that traders who are trading the DX futures are not the average joe in forexfactory with a $200 micro account. They are trading the DX following all those pairs, fundamentals, etc with a lot more information and money than any of us.That means that when they go long or short is because something real is going to happen so analyzing what they are doing volume-wise may give you early clues of change of direction in the pairs you are trading.

The market opened with big gap.
EU show that around open price has order, and now seems it has found a support on a big past volume area, price move around this level and waits for taking a more clear direction.

For GU the situation is different cos the price opened on a level where there are no orders, and seems more clear that price will go back to the first big volume level.
