vsa with Malcolm

Quoting SP020
I am a VSA trader too.. I think. I am not too familiar with all the terms like test uptrust etc. I am but use a bit of my own style which is just wait for high volume at POI's. But I must say since I applied HVZ's my trading has improved. I really liked to read some posts in this threat. Hereby my trade today with the HVZ. I wanted to short USD and long CHF, however CHF reversed and i just observed for now. {image} {image}

{quote} High Volume Zones (HVZs) are key. Read Anotan's post to get insight/instruction on how a real pro uses them. Also take a look at Pres 78's Journal on VZA, which I maintain, is a distinction without a difference (from VSA).
Yes I have read alot of posts from Anotan, Pres78 and yourself on this thread. I will go through Pres Journal soon. Thanks!

{quote} nice trades. what are the volume profile areas for? as a first take profit point or?
I like to enter trades (if its not a reversal) around the daily poc, if there is a weekly poc (Right ones) close by its extra nice. Yeah try to aim at least for the next weekly poc. But depends on the whole picture a bit.. taking profit is not my forte and kind of personal I guess.
How certain are you? I am not uncertain
The last two weeks have been crazy..

Last week I took some losses and ended the week with -5R, plus I took a few more losses on Monday putting my total at -8R.

But I'm finally starting to be able to close some of my winning trades (winning trades don't count until they're closed, right?) which most of them have been around 3.5R-4R. I've closed 3 so far and just have one trade left.

The point of my post is all you can do when you're getting beat up is to keep going, things can shift very quickly in trading.

{quote} I'm using fair value gaps trading in the direction of the 5 min trend and entering on the 1 min. I'm trading more the way of cyberforex all vsa apart from the fvg Hvz are great Kind regards
Fair Value Gaps (a.k.a. HiddenGAPs) are good. One thing I have consistently stated over the years is the simple notion of " What you want to see, where you want to see it.". One can easily make a case as to why one would want to see VSA signs of strength or weakness (professional activity or lack there of) in an area where there was previously lots of professional activity (volume = activity). Hence, applying the Trigger Number Matrix, by "Fibbing" the most recent highest volume bar, makes logical sense.

The case for Fair Value Gaps (as espoused by ICT) is a bit more complex, but no less logical.

Don't get me wrong, Im not trying to talk shit.. But on another thread there is a trader talking about how most successful traders only go for 1RR trades. I couldn't disagree more, I'll admit that its frustrating when a trade thats close to 2R then comes back on you. Then there will be other times when you're carrying multiple trades that are 3R+. Those times will dwarf any missed opportunities, don't forget Jessie Livermore most famous quote. {image}

hey mate .. 90% of my trade are 1 to 1.

its all depends on the quality of the set up . Sequential vsa at historical volume pocs are the best (stopping volume followed by shale out followed by no supply) , require a 30 to 40 point wiggle room on NQ as i trade with buy stops above bars highs for buys , and sell stops under bars low for sells off a 2 or 3 min chart . I go for ONLY 40 nq points a day , across 10 funded, so initial stops are circa 30 to 40 . Then as trade works I move them to break even quickly.

40 points a day x 1 mini nq , x 10 trades a month x 10 funded is 1.2 m green ones er year .

Small loss. {image} Big Win. {image}
small loss is due to the absorption supply coming in on way up . When you see massive volumes kicking in on an UP move , wait patiently for the distribution phase , something like supply entering , following by no demand , sell under that distribution for the down move. This happened last Wednesday on NQ in US session . Tons of weakness on way up , but went down sharply 150 points.

{quote} Fair Value Gaps (a.k.a. HiddenGAPs) are good. One thing I have consistently stated over the years is the simple notion of " What you want to see, where you want to see it.
I agree that they are hidden gaps, I use the 5 min chart to signal de hidden gaps or fvg

But I'm struggling with the entries, the way I do it is to find inside the fvg sign of weakness or strength.

Let say I want to go long

1 first a need to see hh-hl on the 1 min chart
2 then a pullback on a fvg of the the 5 min chart
3 signs of strength on the 1 min chart
4 then price needs to close a ove the last sign of strength
5 then a test of the sign of strength - like no supply - test or shakeout to enter the trade

The problem that I'm having is with then entry in particular with the retest which very few times happen
And what I often see is the first 4 steps and then price taking off without retesting.

Why I wait for the retest, because in this thread that the entry signals like no supply - shakeout - test need to be testing on an area of volume on this case the sign of strength

Any help would be appreciated from anyone

Thanks
Kind regards
