Trade Using VSA (Volume Spread Analysis)

hope you know what you are doing ......

someone PMed about the post--here it is--refined to be funnier--

Brilliant question--Free your mind babatot--let me try and explain it--the best way i know how--i don't care what it is--Matserella balls,BEANS,olive oil(i don't care)if it as a candle stick--spread and volume--VSA will snitch--

SM's,big investment houses,big banks--YOU(if you think you are that important) have big bucks that they want to invest---like you--they like to buy cheap and because they have plenty of orders/request to fill they look for when prices of currencies are cheap and plenty available(low spreads)-if you wanna quickly spot accumulations look for currencies with very low spreads and dirt cheap--hey--they are people too--just like you they like things cheap

well not just because prices are cheap--but they have billions of dollars to invest and big lots to fill-they can't just go into the market like a psycho and start buying up a particular currency all at once---that may tilt the prices against them--they don't want it to shoot up against them- at least not yet-not until they buy everything from you at what they consider cheap price level--

So they come up with a sleek idea(accumulation)--they buy a little over heeerrre and they buy a little over theeerre--(you should see my hand gestures--lol)and they do it--in such a way--that it forms a channel(this is what tickles malcomb..lol) with little buying pressure at the top of the channel and noticable buying pressure at the bottom(check your nearest volume--they keep the price in there).
sometimes Demand is so high that other SM's and investment houses get in the fun==the process is really due to DEMAND overcoming SUPPLY and vice versa

Now--like i said --your fav market makers(who fill in orders) are not going to give you a phone call babatot--and tell you --dude---we have all these orders to fill---DEMAND has overcome SUPPLY--you better start buying bro

there's only one snitch for that --she's called VSA--ALL she does is tell you whats going on--and what to watch for--

At a certain point and price level--the currencies stop been cheap and available --and once that happens(you know the world--everybody wants something they can't have) the mark up process sets in-and prices are easliy pushed up--and trust me-as prices go up-some SM's are already distributing(selling) to the weak holders--cause sooner rather than later --they are about to dump you on your head--its a necessary but cruel process-buddy

this is why i said--reading is a lot easier--i feel like am writing a mini book;;lol

i think you said--babalot--that you know somethings about VSA--so hope this helps with the initial phase of VSA.its not really about some people sitting in a dark room somewhere--and manipulating prices--its more like a gang of folks--noticing they can buy or sell a currency at a particular price level that would be great for their bottom lines.


and VSA snitching on them--

Thank you very much for this excellent compilation of informations and resources. I appreciate this very much.

The people at Tradeguider reckon that VSA works just as well with Forex as with other markets. The exact processes underpinning the markets may be different but the broad principles are the same. When they do their periodic webinars with Tradeguider they often use Forex as the demo.

For data I am not sure anyone truly knows.

1). For many brokers the volume being shown is that as seen by the broker which may be different than the whole market. You also get occasions when the broker data prices diverge (or at least so I have heard, not witnessed it personally).

2). You can get full market data from esignal and possibly some other providers (DTN etc).

The key thing with VSA itself is that you are using volume to understand buying and selling pressure, and although currency traders are not accumulating in quite the same way as stock traders, buying / selling pressure support and resistance still operate.

All that said, I still struggle with 'reading' the market VSA style.

Here is another toy I coded......we know the volume in forex is based on ticks, either bid or ask....this indicator will show you both of them,
buy and sell pressure volume.

Enjoy

You got ther right!!!

Nice job, FOREXflash,

We are still missing Overlay Indicator which shown 'No Demand Bar" in Main Chart?

What kind of Auto Trendlines are you using, seems like Russian Auto Trendlines, It would be perfect if you can add Peak No-Demand(prior to the Peak of Zigzag) and Valley No Supply(prior to the Valley of Zigzag), this Peak/Valley could be used as "congestion zone" in VSA pattern (Accumulation and distribution).

Thank you

cheers

Im done with coding for VSA.....you guys have all the possible tools
for trading VSA here already!!!
If you dont have a time to read a few VSA related books, than you
realy cant trade VSA at all, no matter what indicators are you using!

I already posted this in another thread, but here it is again;
My "edge" is BollingerBands......how many people
are using them sucesfully!????
Some does, some dont.....other traders found their EDGE in MACD.....
it will not work for me or someone else......others use RSi&Trendlines,
not me.....but someone does!

If any possible indicator or combination of different indicators\strategy can be a EDGE,
than EDGE is not based on indicator, pattern or strategy, it is based only on YOU!!!

Think about this!

I like this indicator, great job!

Still wishing that someone would look at coding the better sine wave indicator found at the http://emini-watch.com/products/hilbert-sine-wave/ over to .mq4

I don't think it's necessarily needed to trade vsa. All one really needs is price action and volume.

I think, as well as a few others, that it would be a handy little tool to have in our arsenal, using it in a similar manner as described by the author.

Just a thought!

I would like to say that since learning VSA that my trading has improved big time. I have read anything and everything that I can get my hands on concerning VSA, including this thread which has helped a lot.

Thanks for everyone's help that have contributed to this thread!

I believe its important to keep an eye on different pairs while trading your favorite pair, here's the trend map for some popular pairs which sometime have good relational moves, green means that price is above Gann HiLo and QQE is crossed upward, red means that price is below Gann HiLo and QQE is crossed downwards, black means price is either QQE is downwards and price is ABOVE Gann HiLo or QQE is upwards and price is BELOW Gann HiLo.

hope it helps.

Hi Forexflash can u please post the indicator that put no demand bar etc etc on chart?

Thanks

Don't reaally know why you guys are fighting the obvious--OKAY---Post what ever you think is VSA in action on a chart---from whatever commodity/stock that VSA only applies to--

And i will match your chart(if not candle for candle) of the same VSA process on currencies in forex--(plenty of examples in this forum)

WHo do you think is trading the same way---i say SM's-maybe with more participants and on a rather large scale---but i say the same folks--this is the only way they know how to acquire--they do not mess with peoples money--its only right/sensible and natural to do it this WAy--and you also see them selling into "" good NEWs candles"" this is on also a nice way of getting rid of the big lots that they have acquired---those massive moves up and down during a news release are no coincidence

i 'll tell you this---FLASH is some kind of a CANDY store----lol--what are those signals--no-demand_1--you know am gonna ask the question?

Sorry, but that one is not for public usage!
Anyway, you dont need it to trade VSA!

so ForexFlash you not gonna share that indicator with us? are u gonna sell it?

Gotchu--flash---

-

Hoichoi--flash is not a spammer--he's a very generous dude--if he feels its time to release it to the public--he will--let it go--buddy

and HEY--shamus---that ticksseparatevolume--showing buy and sell volume--is almost similar to the ninja volume stats indy you are looking for--maybe you can test it out--

How many indicators did I coded here....and how many times did I
helped someone in programing forum!??
....and now you got the nerve to ask me something like that!

Ill share anything, as long as you deserve it!
