I hope people wernt too bored to miss this one.......the high volume candle before the spike low had a wick below and no follow through. Then the ~doji spike low to a psychological level of 575 was on average volume - again a long downside wick, so no more sellers - a good area to take a buy.

The Durable Goods news bar had high vol and despite the upside wick, didnt breakdown, so still positive action until demand overcame supply in the ultra wide range high volume candle, with the following one spiking up to the 700 level - a great place to take profits.....~100pips......http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Now to wait for the next signal.....perhaps a low volume upthrust above 700 to set up a retrace....Time Will Tell....

The 1.4587 level has been a good level to go off. Its been acting as S&R for the last couple of days now.

Nice to know we are seeing the same thing, although I bought again at the break of that 30min bar at 1.4611.

yes, more of a risky trade, moved it to BE when it got to 42. seems to be struggeling a bit. maybe the momentum is enough to take it though....

its going to have another go at it i think

EDIT: Closed it them all at 1.4770

This may be a stupid question, but how can there be different selling volumes and buying volumes? Doesn't there need to be a buyer and a seller for every transaction?

Or is the indicator just displaying a higher volume of buyers/sellers based on where the priced moved during that bar?

Hi Islander

Yes, got in on the same trade at 1.4525. It was even more clear if you use that indicator that Flash (TicksSeperateVolume) kindly gave us where it shows Buying and Selling volumes separately.

My volume looks a bit different from yours. I am using a live IBFX account. You can see the Selling Climax in the is a high volume/low spread bar going down onto resistance at 1.4525 and then the selling drops right off compared to the bar before it.

There does not have to be a buyer for every seller. You could be selling off a big block from the market makers. Recomended reading: Master The Markets by Tom Williams.

Here is an another example of VSA combined with MML's (GU M5)

There was a slowing volume down move towards the 3/8 MML (1.4587)

Then a higher volume Reverse upthrust which resulted in a very nice trade.

It steamrolled through the 4/8, 5/8, and touched the 6/8 before starting to pull back to the 4/8. It is now hovering in the 1.4660ish range


No volume in my chart screenshot as this is my live account and I don't use IBFX for my live account.

I coded this for my personal usage, and it is complete system for my trading.
It have a separate volumes(histogram), the dots above volumes are signals based on better volume(high churn, climax...etc),no supply and demand signals on chart, it has its own channel and
average range display with MurreyMath levels!

Enjoy

There does not have to be a buyer for every seller. You could be selling off a big block from the market makers. Recomended reading: Master The Markets by Tom Williams.

Thanks for the tip Richard, I will read that book.

Although there may be more buyers than sellers, or vice versa, I still can't see how the total volume for selling and buying can be different, since for any amount of selling to occur, there must be an equal amount of buying.

I'm guessing that these indicators display different buying and selling volumes either based on counting the ticks where the price moves up versus the ticks where the price moves down, or perhaps by measuring the price change during a bar and displaying that information as buying or selling volume.

If anyone knows for sure it would be enlightening to hear from you.
