Yeah, I had difficulty interpreting VSA on this one.

I just left it as a double-bottom with regard to price only.

However, the subsequent bars interested me.

See chart.

I haven't had much time to keep up with the thread lately but I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to the new comers, namely Yuppie and Copi for their excellent VSA analysis and their tireless help with questions in the thread.

Great work guys.

Its certainlly not as silly as it sounds - How many times have you taken a trade purely on impulse because you didnt want to miss out on a nice move - only to feel like the biggest sucker in the world when price immedietly turned 50 pips against you

Just had a quick scroll throught the charts and made a few "black sheep" calls - its a great little system lol

BTW just want to thank Karthik Marar for the VSA basics PDF - I find it a lot easier to follow then the 180 + page Tom Williams PDF - Although now I've been through the basics I think...

Where is Karthik Marar's VSA pdf? Could someone please post the link. Thanks in advance!!

Should be posted on first page (not sure though) or alternatively you can click attachment icon (paperclip at top right of each page) click hide images and look through the list.

I recommend the readers digest condensed version posted on first page (resources section at bottom of first post). It's a quick read and details each example with charts.

I am not able to download the pdf files because it says..."C:UsersAppDataLocalTempPjB8_aGr.pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

Try again later, or contact the server administrator.



Just wondering if anyone else is having difficulties, or is it just my computer that is playing up. Usually do not have any issues downloading.

Hey guys. Thanks a lot for your help. For some reason I am still getting the same message. Ticking me off a bit!!! Will probably be having to reload Windows tonight anyhow. I have been having issues with my ethernet connection, and the Dell support said I will need to try that before they send someone, if that does not fix it, to replace my motherboard. I don't know how that would be affecting me downloading, because I am presently on wireless, but obviously the ff server is working for you guys, so it must be my machine...somewhere...somehow!!

You may want to try a different browser such as Google's Browser. It may be an error with IE.

Below is a weekly look at GU, I think it provides an interesting picture of what is happening.
For the past couple of weeks we have had rising volume and rising prices backed by the equity markets and reflected in increasing risk appetite from investors. The Dollar has been sold off and the Dollar Index is weak and making new recent lows. It all looks very bullish.

[color=black][font=Verdana]Question is are the 'green shoots' we are seeing in the economy real or a trap set by the SM to lure investors back...
Nice upthrust 2day off 1.6000 level on increased volume. Looking at DJ looks like we may have distribution. It looked like distribution last time to me too, but it ripped up. This is my take on the PA.

EDIT - There was also a no demand 3 bars after the intiail sign of weakness at 1, so I see a few signs of weakness in there. I'm trying to make a case for accumulation but I see more distribution going on in there.

Hi guys,

This struck me as a high volume churn, low spread bar with very high volume, I think it's also referred to as handbagging and announcing a reversal.

In fact more tick volume than on any other day EVER according to my chart (I'm with Alpari). Having said that, tick volume has unusually increased since the beginning of the year.

Here are my ODL and FXPro feeds for comparison.

It seems Alpari, ODL and FxPro are somewhat different.

However, this is on the daily TF.

It may be different on lower TFs.

I find ODL great on lower TFs.

Yes, i find on lower time frame it varies somewhat.
Perhaps it depends on how often they update the data and the data feed's speed.
