On this chart I'm looking to see if candle 0 has a higher H/L and H/C then the previous bar and closes on a down bar. Thats showing strength is in the background..Depending on the volume that shows me how much velocity the move has...If it doesn't then I'd go short on continuation with the trend!
Look how the H/L is higher then previous pointing to weakness in the background...Looking to go short?

Got out with only 5 pips mainly based on the fact that the previous bar did show weakness but in comparison to theother bars it wasn't that strong. I'm looking to go long on the next bar, based on the strength on candle 0!

EUR/[email protected] LONG I'm literally following the smart money on thier every move!

Based on the volume on chart 1, this upmove won't be that strong b/c the volume wasn't that strong in comparison to the other bars!

Well I got out with about 9-11 pips I believe, based on the fact that the volume isn't really showing me that thiers that much more upside, based on candle 1. So I'll take 9 pips anyday! Looking to go short on next move!!

At this point if you can't see that you can trade tick volume then basically I dont know what to tell you, I've done 4 consecutive trades following tick volume!!

hi,

i see you guys talk about narrow/wide spread in conjunction with volume...
my question is:

the book describes spread as (high-low)...you give formula for spread (high-low)-(high-close)...so in your formula the bigger the bullish/bearish candle the NARROWER the spread (if it closes near high)...i read that narrow spread should indicate weakness but in this case this isn't so is it ? For example, if we have a range and then price breaks out with high volume that is considered a good breakout...but that breakout is "narrow spread high volume" in your analysis and you take it as a weakness of that breakout...just something i'm confused about. thanks.

Hi NYSE, I've written before about the rate of change between Volume and Spread and how these could be mapped to give us potential trade indications. Rate of change being Volume divided by Spread (H-L). I'm no programmer and would not know where to start in coding what I have in mind but I have made a line chart in excel with the corresponding data from a chart from this morning and pasted it onto the chart to show how the indicator would look so please forgive my photoshop skills

I haven't really come up with the rules yet but selling on the peaks and buying on the troughs seems to give good trade signals. I know Flash has been very kind in putting together the indis that he has and might feel that we now have everything we need to trade VSA but this I believe might be easier on others to spot the trades. Could we consider giving this a try?
