pretty good stuff islander, but you cannot use these programs for signal creation, only for explanation of the vsa principles. it is a like or do not like it thingy.
i could never feel confident entering a trade based on a crossover of line x with z, or indicator y turning green, even tough it would produce tons of pips. i need price bars and a volume histogram to pick my entries and give me the "why", even tough i can misread the market
it just depends on your style, but i am sure vsa can improve even a technical trader's entrypicking.
Tom's original VSA program did attempt to give signals, but remember that it was very basic as 'puters back then had little snail paced processors and miniscule memories! - well its was the early 90s http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon11.gif
I met Tom again in Chicago a couple of years ago at a Traders Expo and he'd sold out, the new guys call their much upgraded program TradeGuider which if I remember correctly does give some signals - but I see that's its had mixed reviews.
Anyway, after starting reading the pdf I can already see already is just an update of the one I've got - lol - somewhere!! - I guess we'll just have to ask one of our "resident" programmers to set us up with a nice indy......please.....

signals appear, but they need confirmation first in the program to appear as signals. in case of no demands, which i short straight on the close, it is too late, so it is with many other signals.
the best company has bad reviews...in general i think vsa is just ingeniously and the next level of trading..but it needs time and many hundreds till thousands of screenhours to get it into flesh & blood, since it is purely discretionary without fancy buy now-sell now indicators popping up
i wouldn't wonder if many of the guys giving a bad review did not study the stuff around and only flew over the book and wanted to get signals by TG.
you can never put pure vsa into an indicator since, like mentioned before, all decisions are discretionary. you cannot just enter a trade based on vol spikes etc. background is important...relative vol + price action....the story that unfolds which a pc is unable to judge.
