Thanks malc for posting that up. I was reading it right, but for some reason had wrong entry or maybe needed a larger stop. I took the short on that green bar you have marked as no demand low volume. The close of that upbar I entered with a stop right above that high and it took me out. Where would you have entered? Would you have waited for it to actually turn before entering?

stop would have been higher .. above 138 .... 50 pips is what i have been using

Malcomb14..thanks for all your time here!
How do you determine the high volume areas?
What I've done before is look at the previous week, find the 1 hr bar with the most volume for the week, and plot a horizontal line from the high and the low....I would also do this for the previous day, find the highest volume 1hr bar, but after finding it I would break the bar down to 15 min or 5 min and plot the highest volume bar(the range of said bar).

I value your opinion....thank you

I don't know if malcolm use it but I use Volume at price or Volume profile.
On MT4 there isn't, u can try with market profile indicator.

Lubo.
If I know how, I tell You!! Few but Good!!

Not sure if my volume is accurate on my broker (WHC Trader), but looks like tomorrow will be a down day. Upmove over past few days hasn't had any volume behind it. No demand bar yesterday, followed by narrow spread down bar on high volume into resistance. (Hidden RSI div).

nice sell set up GU ... fairly straight forward .... nice little 30 pip and will probably give more

BTW tradeguider did not show this on 5 min chart ... not saying it is a bad software .. it is great I love it . But that lessformore guy is getting on my nerves coming in here saying you cannot understand VSA without spending 5 k and another 150 a month for the vsa club ...... I agree they are very useful tools .. the vsa club is awesome but lessformore many cannot afford this and TRadeguider would have just cost me 3 k if I had been blindly following it at time i was short it was telling me long still

this set up below i have learnt by reading toms book many times and watching price action and set up s on the charts .. nothing like 1000's of hours charting to help you understand what you see

Tradeguider is not only about volume,it's also about Tom Williams looking over your shoulder,guiding you in the correct way of reading his methods.Master the markets is just the begining of the journey the next steps is the Boothcamp cd,without the booth camp cd you will not understand the true meaning of VSA,all no demand,no supply, upthrust etc.are not created equally,under certain conditions they are not what they seems to be.I have seen markets going up on very low volume which you will call no demand or upthruts then explodes into super moves.I...

the vsa triggers are all about background .. been telling these guys that over and over ....

also note on my chart I use volume histograms .... with high volume areas of up to 10 days ago plotted on charts. These and the volume / spreads around them tell me what is going on . vwap and poc for today also are useful zones

you sound like gavin ....... trying to market tradeguider ?
I was thinking the same thing

I do agree with malcolm that TG is very expensive, even for people that can afford it. But in the spirit of the thread, I appreciate thoughts from Lessformore on TG and learning VSA. I hope Lessformore will continue to contribute to the discussion as a TG evangelist. I think we can learn a lot from anyone with VSA experience.

from a candlestick view on XLF, it looks like dark cloud cover. if it closes down below the 5 day MA today it should help confirm the financial weakness. things might get a little nutty as the option players scramble.

Jtrade posted this link on the higher low lower high thread (thanks jtrade), under the emini trading tutorials theres a better vol indi link. Whilst the indi and colours are tradestation specific there are some frequent top/bottom patterns that are shown that may be of interest.

http://emini-watch.com/free-stuff/volume-indicator/

The relationship between size of bar and vol is the same.
Hi, I read through all the stuff on the site and through his Tradestation code and watched both videos. It was all very interesting, so I decided to convert the Tradestation code to MT4 So here is Better Volume for MT4.

To understand how to use it, a person has to watch the 2 short videos.

If you roll your curser over any bar there is a brief name that pops up that tells what the bar represents.

enjoy.

A single indicator does not exist for this method. You must read the book or you will have no clue what this is all about.
