I have noticed that you are using B.V. 1.1.
Is there a reason why you are not using 1.4?
Also, Could you post 1.1 & tell me what setting you are using?

There seems to be ALOT of difference between your charts & mine.
It might be the different broker thing, but I would like to see for myself.


Thanks for the help.

today and gj ..

red line is upper value area of yesterday. 158.5 ... this always form support and is hard to break form upside unless pair is very bullish

price in range 158.5 to 159 . Very nice trading range

going to try next week without rsx ....could be grumpy like a smoker giving upo smoking !!

I been asked by a couple of people on irc to show some live set ups as they happen .

If someone can provide me with a free method for voice and screen activation so i can show you my charts in LIVE market conditions.
I offer to spend 2 - 3 hours a week one morning in US session showing some LIVE trade set ups. Something that I do not need to be a computer guru to set up.

for this the one time offer of only $5000 per head .. lol ... just kidding

I expect nothing before I am accused of selling something. This is something i am throwing out...

It's a good idea and I can set it up easily (I am something of a computer guru lol)

We can get it setup on Sunday via chat or Monday whichever is best for you.
The trend always ends.

Malcolmb, thanks for your charts! They are really educational and I think most of us learn as much from you as we do from MTM. I'm looking forward to your video broadcast if you decide to do it.

On the bar after the one you marked "sellers off of VWAP," I would have probably thought it was a low volume test. Is there anyway I can avoid this mistake? What made you know it was sellers and not strong buying volume?

Thanks for your help.

well in reality it was late Friday afternoon coming into close and anything could happen , so I did not trade that one. The high vol up candle into vwap with no result was sign sellers , and you are right there was a low vol test after that.

Hello Malcolmb14

Thanks a lot for this idea of doing some live trades setup to show people how you approach markets by using vsa principles.

That will be very much interesting for any people seriously interested into VSA as I really see you as a great expert on the matters and really love your posts and charts.

BTW ShamusFamous, are you going to post the link for people to know where to go to assist to that presentation of Malcolmb14?

Thanks so much in advance for that Malcolmb14 and ShamusFamous

Great idea

Hello Malcolmb14

Thanks for your explanations and chart. i have a question for you. To calculate your market profile lines of POC, VAH and VAL of yesterday in esignal, what is the starting time that MP use to build the profile itself and the 3 lines?

Reason i ask is that i have mine calculated from 00:00est to 00:00est for the previous day and my POC was at 157.81, VAH at 158.22 and VAL at 156.40.

Really interested to know what are the time of yours so that you arrived at those numbers. Maybe i should not use 00:00am est to 00:00am est to calculate my lines.

Thanks a lot in advance

Here are charts from FxPro and IBFX...Which one is correct? Then what is use of BV if there is false information? Can someone confirm which one is correct with esignal as reference?

mima,

BV uses the normal volume you get from the broker; its utility is only to paint the bars, in a way to assist you classifying those bars - but of course, if you have wrong volume, BV won't save you.

About the 2 charts you've posted... I would risk saying none is correct.
Not that I have esignal, but I've been compairing my demo with the posted esignal charts, and I find them accurate (and mine don't resemble yours, so...);

But I don't think compairing weekly charts is the better way to go... intraday charts would be better, because there can be brokers that had worse volume feed before, and a similar to esignal now, or vice-versa - and with intraday chart, we can see which is more correct in the present, while with weekly, there can be past mistakes reflected in it.

Finally, I would advise you to go and try to download ibfx demo again, and try to select the 4 digit feed version;
I had a 5 digit one before, as you do, and found it to be irregular (apparently 5 digit feed versions have very different volume... different from 4 digit one, and from esignal);

Since I use the 4 digit one, I find it very close to esignal.

ok best info is esignal 300 data srouces. evene between that and ibfx there are sometimes very clear signals that show up on esignl that do not show up on ibfx. , however most of the time they are about the same.

Anyother mt4 brokers looking at their volume is a waste of time. In others words do not take any note of fxpro chart.

This is becausde ibfx is interbank feeds , whereas fxpro is just broker feed for fxpro and not represtnatvie of the market as a whole

here is my thought on week ahead

http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...stcount=182725

this is a long post and covers all aspects of the markets with dollar index , dj , gj , eu and gu

the basics of it are that the trend on dj will continue down, the dollar index if that 4 hour stopping volume plays out will move up , bearish fo gu . Gu test 1.6600 and eu down as long as utl holds.

If the charts play out minimum targets are shown on the charts and are :

500 pip gj ,
250 - 400 gu
and 200 - 400 eu

should be a fun week ahead

now these charts could be completely wrong as these trade set ups look almost to easy . I will be watching the tops to form London / US on Monday
