thanks f451 for the details, i relate to how you think about these issues. it helps put in writing or talk about them. definitely brings perspective & helps you learn from them

i do similar (wrong) things i.e. always trying to short too soon, or i get in too late.... the latter is easier to overcome for me, once i realize i'm doing it, i find it not so hard to stay out of that next trade that i find a little too late. but for me i think they are products of too much screentime & anxiety getting the best of me, lack of balance/perspective. music & taking breaks help.

also one thing that is really helping is in the afternoon when it slows down i print out just one timeframe of each pair i'm watching, usually H1, and take them to the cafe or a park with an actual pencil. i am trying to compensate for the heightened state of staring at a screen while ticks are whizzing by. so far it really helps me see new things on the charts and i come up with new ideas to backtest. i'll be posting whatever i find...

cheers

Hi guys...along these lines, I've found using this trade simulator helps a lot. You can speed up the time so it goes by so it's fast if you want, but it's helped me identify weaknesses in my trading, and work on fixing them in a simulated environment. I just bring up my VSA template, and look for good setups. I can do a week's worth of trading in like an hour

I found this in "Ronald Raygun"'s member profile here on FF. The link to download the simulator is http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...chmentid=89818. All instructions contained within.

He suggests a coin flipping exercise with it, but I've found it great for developing VSA skills, and my live trading has gotten better, so wanted to post if it might help anyone...

Good Morning Malc,

If you don't mind me requesting something here: Would you shed some light on what sort of volume signatures and price action we should be carefully looking for today? Cable appears to be very creeping up to the 1.5000 mark here prior to London open.

Thanks so much,

Mo.

Can someone please take a look at GBP/CAD? The volume is awful and seems to be non-existant for the past few days. Any one had seen something like this before on pair or why it might happen?

To be honest I am not sure what to expect from GU in next 24 hours.

I am not sure if we are going to get a top failure in the 1.5000 area , or a slight dip and then look for buyers some where in the 1.4940 area.

ftse has a very small gap to fill so market may behave more normally tonight.

I am not trading fx tonight , as I will be on es tomorrow and nee my beauty sleep

There are some signs of weakness on Gu starting with that buying climax after fomc , however with the price action over the lat 48 hour I would be hesitant to sell till I see a down move then retrace with a lower high and no demand bars etc etc

Sometimes if the file was not created with Mt4 software then it wont go in the right place. When you put it in your indicator list does it also show all the other indicators on the list. If not then thats a sure sign its not the right file.

You also need to restart your platform after you load it to get the indy on the list in your navagator file.

I hope this helps

Happy pipin
Yup i think you right because this file name php.file not mq4 ..... ermmmm i must searching again with another thread ..... or maybe someone here very kind to share this better volume to me

If you've downloaded a file from the FF forums and it's taken on the name "attachment.php" that's a quirk when downloading from FF. It's not supposed to happen if you click the paperclip at the top right of the forum, and click the file name you want to download from there. If it still happens, manually rename the file you've downloaded. (you have downloaded the correct file, it just has the wrong name)

Once you have placed the ex4 and/or a mq4 file in the experts or indicator directory, you don't actually have to restart your MT4 session. Alternately, you can go to TOOLS->METAQUOTES LANGUAGE EDITOR and from the right hand side expand the indicator folder, 2x click a generic indicator like Accelerator.mq4. When the window opens, click the COMPILE button and your should see '0 error(s), 0 warning(s)' . You have now forced MT4 to reindex and recompile if necessary all indicators or experts - including the new ones you just copied into these folders - and when you close the Language Editor, they will be in your experts and indicators list within the Navigator view. This simply avoided you having to restart your MT4 session (handy if you have other running EAs and is a time saver over restarting).

GU M5

On the chart below,

1. For a couple of hours we're in a down trend with no real effort to change = WEAKNESS.

2. Also, every up bar is on very low volume showing a lack of interest in higher prices = WEAKNESS.

3. Then we get a wide spread up bar closing on the high with volume lower than the previous 2 bars(no buying pressure) = WEAKNESS.

4. Then at FO we get a high volume up bar followed by a higher volume wide spread up bar in the shape of an UT = POSSIBLE WEAKNESS.

5. Next we have an up bar on volume lower than the previous 2 bars followed by a ND = WEAKNESS.

The mark up comes at exactly the right time (Franky fake out).

Possible entry on break of the low of the ND.


Edit:- Check out the 2nd chance entry. We have a ND(spread is little on the wide side but the sentiment is there) in a down trend. Classic low volume retrace.

I'm not good with predictions so I tend not to try. I trade what I see infront of me.

But right now it looks like we could be going down but, I think it will be a retrace rather than a reversal so trade with caution.

Thank you Malcomb for your reply! So test and NS bar is the same thing?
They are pretty much the same thing. If they appear at the reversal point they are generally refered to as NS. If they appear afterwards(ie during the move be it early on or in the middle) they are generally refered to as tests.

I'm not sure why this is.
