I am going to compile a list of what many feel are the best indicators and a rough idea of how they are used, but please remember you only really need volume to trade vsa.

The best thing you can do for now is immerse yourself in the book posted in my first post and when you're done reading it... read it again.

I also hope to port the NT files into MT4 as they serve as an excellent visual tool for identifying the basic vsa signals but not sure how long that will take.


The indicator posted by Vantage (above) is also very helpful.
Thanks Shamus for starting this . I am new to FF but been there , done that with indi`s & systems so now its back to basics for me . Price and VSA make total sense to me . It seems the weak link for forex is the reliability or lack there of for the volume data . Given that we are limited to tick volume would it make sense to use the info from the largest MT4 brokers like FXCM and Gain Capitol assuming you are using MT4 . I know this leaves out all the ECN & bank feeds . Another thought would be to watch volume in the futures currencies exchange . Has anyone done this ? Does it make sense ? Is anyone trading higher T/F with VSA ? Still reading the books , great stuff .

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone concerned with this and NYSE's thread.

There seems to be some nice set ups on several charts today, would like some feedback to confirm I am on the right track.

Excecting a downward reaction to the upthrust on low volume into the resistance zone. Please see attached chart.

Regards

Madog

Some one should post FXCM. I spoke with them on the phone and they told me their Volume is created by the aggregation of all of the bank feeds, NOT internal Broker transactions.

Probably the reason IBFX is so close is because on the phone they also told me their volume is also the aggregation of all their bank feeds. Both FXCM and IBFX are STPs not dealer direct. So their's is also NOT Broker volume
