For the users following at home this is an insert from Karthik Marar, who outlines the Tom Williams VSA Strategy in a nutshell.

[size=2]So the question was …How one checks if the congestion area is really an accumulation area.
There are a few things to lookout for..
• First, the indecision should be quite visible. In other words the volume should be low and quite. No huge volume upsurges. Even if the volume is relatively higher the range between up day volumes and down day volume should be narrow.
• Second, the spread of the bars (High – Low)...

I've outlined in yellow 3 upthrust bars which occur in this movement.

You rarely see up-thrusts in strong markets. The professional knows people react to the two fears – the fear of losses and the fear of missing out, and so trades with this in mind. He also knows, or can give a very good guess, as to where the stops are. The professional operator is highly aware of the fact that the

herd thinks in even numbers.

If you sat and waited for up-thrusts to appear, looking for nothing else and just traded these indications of
weakness as they appear, you would have to be a poor trader not to make money! Up-thrusts usually appear on market tops. That is after a rally. Specialists know the market is weak; the
price will have been marked up during the day to close at best in the middle. The following text describes the various up-thrusts that can be seen on the chart above:


The volume is low. If low volume is present on any attempt to go up, this shows a distinct lack of demand in the market. The traders who matter are not interested.

You now know that a weak market is usually marked-up just before a fall (up-thrust), which tends to occur at the top of the trading range (or an overbought region). As this is often the case, the up-thrust gives you a


chance to short right on the turn.

I've indetified an upthrust bar on the 15m chart and I've taken a short position in response to the bar. If you've been reading tom williams VSA book, it defines an upthrust as: [font=TimesNewRoman][size=2]

[left]Up-thrusts can be recognised as a wide spread up during the day (or during any timeframe), accompanied
by high volume, to then close on the low. Up-thrusts are usually seen after a rise in the market, where the
market has now become overbought and there is weakness in the background. Up-thrusts are frequently
seen after a period of selling,...
Ya, but you have to look the previus contest of buy sell pressure, if u see the trade u took was wrong cause there's a great buy pressure before that upthrust, that was not confirmed by next bar that was an up bar, and was unable to reverse the trend that still go up....

Lubo.

Hey to be quiet honest i think it's childish of people to come into someone's room to bash them, I mean to be quite honest, really shows the maturity of you guys. Secondly I understand that you have your ego's to perpetuate and honestly I really am not going to argue about it. Thanks for your opinions though. I hope people see who you guys are and how ignorant you look for doing what you do thanks.

Those sentences can be perfectly applied to someone who bans an expert (to everybody's eyes), after he simply disagreed on a called trade;
and to someone who immediately removes the post where he called the wrong trade (trying to erase evidence).

yes you can apply it to forex also.

You can't get accurate volume in Spot FX so how can the analysis be accurate?

VSA works great on Stocks and Futures though......

1). The Tradeguider folks definitely state it does work
2). With VSA you are not measuring absolute exact volume but approximations and relative volumes, so Forex tick volume appears to act fairly well as a proxy for true volume.
