I have read Master the Markets but am still confused in one area. This book uses the Stock Market to demonstrate VSA principles but what I would like to know is to what extent Forex follows the same principles. With Forex you trade a currency pair and I had supposed that the characteristics of a downtrend was much the same as the uptrend only in reverse However there are many examples in the book that suggest otherwise

eg

Bull markets usually rise slowly, but rise persistently, unlike bear markets that fall rapidly. This slower rise seen in bull markets
is caused in part by locked-in traders selling on any small rally (resistance to the up-move).

So should I view downtrends differently from uptrends or assume that the points made for uptrends also apply equally to downtrends And what about a ranging Market that follows the Uptrend / Downtrend Do these also exhibit different characteristics in Forex

Thanks

you missed the most important thing .... draw a line across volume on the up move .... bearish volume divergence ... simple. You shuld have been expecting the drop without the bullish buying volume

i did trade the short side of eu ... it was a nice set up got out about 90 pips to early. ...
I am not so sure here. Usually there is less activity that time of day. See examples below.

It's not really bullish or bearish divergence as you have indicated on your chart. Just increasing volume or decreasing volume on the move. Decreasing volume on a down move for instance could signal that SM is not interested in seeing the price lower and typically an up move will occur.

Volume decreasing is nearly always a sign of lack of interest in the move.

It depends of course on time of day and average volume for the period. Sometimes it's just low volume because there isn't much happening so you need to be aware of these times.

PS there are much clearer signals in your chart than what you are looking for.
The trend always ends.

slightly wrong on the no demand .. in fact the 2 candles to the left of the candle you ticked are reversal after effort to rise
Do u think the bar I highlighted is not a NO DEMAND BAR?
I Think it is.

Lubo.

P.s. the 2 previus up bar aren't so great effort to rise, if u look their volume is less then 3 prev down bars.
If I know how, I tell You!! Few but Good!!

the areas where you say bullish div are nothing
in fact on down moves with increasing volume ( you marked bullish ) this is bearish volume as it indicates more selling interest on the way down . If you see this kind of volume action coming into support liekly support will break.

That's what I was trying to say. The bullish mark is on increasing volume but the move is down so clearly not a bullish move. It's much better to think of it in terms of increasing or decreasing (rather than bullish or bearish)volume... then look at the direction of the move pricewise in relation to what the volume is showing.

Of course you don't know what the next bar holds volume wise so that's where other things come into play such as spread (range) etc.

To understand what the volume is saying to you, you have to ask yourself again;

“What has the price done on this volume”?

1.

Bullish volume is increasing volume on up-moves and decreasing volume on down-moves.


2. Bearish volume is increasing volume on down-moves and decreasing volume on up-moves.

This is:
If buying has decreased on any up-move, the market will want to fall (no demand).

Shamus, Malcomb & all...

I realize I oversimplified on that chart. I wanted to clarify the question of divergence.

A lot of people, like myself, need to understand the components of a concept before they are able to put it all together. As an architect, I can see a structure before it is built, but I was not able to totally understand it all until I actually picked up a hammer and spent several years putting the pieces together.

Thank you so much for your replies and the insights you so willingly shared, it makes a tremendous difference for many of us.

Cheers...
