Learn to Trade using VSA (Volume Spread Analysis)

Hi thatwasme,
Can you or someone please tell me how to apply the spread indicator on top of the volume indicator. Thank you.

Good luck denis--thawasme is really a phantom--appears only when necessary lol--

Hi Whiteman, how can I also get the software?

Thanks for the reply..

nice ... reminds me of the good ol days when i was trading demo ...... everything worked so perfectly ....... just like clockwork ..... guess its always happy in fairyland

Really!!! Is VSA that difficult?
i say it's easy.

After reading glued to the screen for 3 days in a row now from post #1 - I am currently at post #1247, I have not skiped a post.

I really want to be on your team. Please add me for the EA and also any further teaching from you and any team I may join up with you on.

I know I'm coming on a little late finding this thread, please do not penalize me for this. After reading every post I feel like I know you as brothers and teammates.

FYI... I am not new to MT4, I also have some programming skills and I am also friends with a couple of very excellent programmers so if it can be programmed I can get it done. This is one way I may be able to help. I am also a tenacious study and never give up so I know I can be an asset to your cause especially if you are really looking for an honest student.

In every respect I have throughly enjoyed all your posts, they have been the best part of this thread IMHO.
I have so very much enjoyed the way you've read and shared from the short time frame vsa; to me your ability is truely amazing and I WANT SOME!

Also my appreciation goes to FF, LuboLabo, Malcolm14, thatwasme, ShamousFamous, TAO and others that have brought more than life and blood into this thread.

Please consider me as a part of your group. I'll be completely caught up by tonight. I did try to PM you but was unable to find the PM button ... must me my fat eyeballs.

Sincerely,
TJ

Also I do have skype although I have not been on it for some time. I'm sure my handle is still good. It's the same one I use here.

EDIT: ok my skype is all up and running... name is "TraderJoe"!

I also have read most of this thread, and am curious about many of the images showing M15 time frame graphs. They do not seem to have the type of volume that I see on my live ECN account.

It is pretty clear that the foundations for VSA have been laid based on daily trading on the stock market. Carrying this over to intraday trading on the FX markets requires some careful thought, since these markets are open 24/5 and have a very different volume character. Fx volume has a strong correlation to time of day. For example volume on GBPUSD is usually much lower when the NewYork and London markets are closed. This diurnal variation is clearly visible on the lower TF charts (M5-M30) and it might easily screw up a VSA analysis that did not account for it. Has this been considered in this thread? I cannot find any mention, but it seems important enough that some discussion is warranted.

I wonder why this volume variation does not show on the images in this thread? Perhaps the images come from data provided by a dealing-desk broker? In this case, the volume may be skewed some way by a very few large traders, or the broker himself.

If anyone is still alive on this thread and interested in seeing the diurnal variation on an ECN, I will post an image.

Ah, what the heck. I'll attach it anyway. Maybe someone will have an interest. This is from MBT, a large ECN. The diurnal variation in volume is very clear. If you are trading during only one hour, it will have no effect, but your signals will vary widely over the day. How do you handle it... ignore it, maybe it will go away?

where can I find that RSX Limited indicator?

Thanks.

Thank You.

Here's a video explaining the accumulation phase of smart money...and the distribution phase of smart. I posted it for everyone hope this helps outhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJFI-X6HRAM

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE LIVE TRADING USING VSA

I was short USD/CHF off upthrust bar,which has weakness in the background. After the upthrust no demand bars were all over 1TF so I went shorts. Here's the live video on youtube

Inserted Video

You can join my youtube channel to follow my live trades

great video

Just following USD/CHF for stopping volume and following EUR/USD for upthrust. These pairs are so easy to trade VSA on b/c they diverge each other.

This is my live trade video from last week where i explain accumulation and distribution for EUR/USD and USD/CHF

I thought VSA was so amazing as a trading strategy I even found it in wikipedia..this was interesting they have it under technical analysis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign...reign_exchange

I guess trading blindly can lead to profits

I took long position on USD/CHF off stopping volume like I mentioned I would from earlier post, also went short off upthrust on EUR/USD
