Hi everyone. Heard so much about this thread over the years but never really checked it out, but look forward to it...it's just so BIG! lol.
Petefaders> Are you using VSA in your staretegy? Seems to me, based on highlighted circle on volume, that you are.

Absolutely am using VSA...it's my main "indicator", so to speak. It completly gave away this down move..my initial short entry was 157.30, right at the first top based purely on VSA and supp/resist.

Not exactly true, in FX market they work with so called "tick based volume" for obvious reasons you probably had in mind.

Here's a trade I'm in at the moment.
Pete - if you read the thread you'll understand what its about - dont mean to be rude (and i aint no thread police) but there is far too much off topic stuff going on and when noobs come along they feel they cannot get to the crux of thread cos of all the filler.

Your trade looks nothing like J16 methods so please have more of a read and understand what we are doing here.

whitegoodman,
what do u mean?
(EDIT: i guess Pete & giotto already answered my Q)


giotto, Petefaders,
giotto, do u use VSA too?
there's a VSA thread, search Shamus' thread.
I view that thread too.
In respect to this thread, let us confine VSA views in there.
Let's concentrate on PA & james16 method here.

I have no idea how you trade with all of that on your chart, when I had all that type of stuff on my chart I couldn't trade to save my life, everything I had became a reason for price to do such and such. More power to you anyway.

Either way, no offence but it's not J16 Material so it would be cool if we all stayed on topic in the thread.

Regards,
Jig

but with your comment, "it" must be what whitegoodman's post really means. Your pretty naughty Jig, go back to the gym

Hey guys. I'm in the very early stages of trying to understand Rac's posts. For those that have better understanding... wondered if this might be a zone he'd be watching.

I'm not sure I'll get a reply from him, since he's not posting for a bit.

BTW, I'm not looking to trade any of these touch entries. Just thought it might help me learn trendlines to better understand his type of trading too...

Thanks,

Josh

nonono,

You misunderstood me. It's like a joke from another forum which I know Whitegoodman and I frequent, it's the "in before" bit which I was referring to, I burst out laughing when I saw it.

Rustyjeff is probably the guy who you would want to talk to about that one if Rac himself won't be here for a while.

Strong looking level though

buenas noches.

This is what I am watching at the moment.

Pro: top of range 8h pin bouncing off a decent resistance level - which is also the 50 retrace for the aussies huge decline last year (aka the 'joel cant afford to go to new york anymore' decline.. isnt shown on this chart, and im too lazy to reattach

con: goes straight into a strong PPZ

variance: wall st about to open which could cause the aussie to act a fool.

I will probably play a break of 78 and hold down to the PPZ and then watch it like a hawk. Or a kookaburra, as the case may be.

Very few of us could help you with that, Rac's crystal ball is only one and he posses it.

I practice blind trades myself, but I don't think I come anywhere near him in style, experience etc etc

But I agree with Jig, Jeff could assist you at best. right now he's off the deck for a while so you're in with a good chance.

Good one Joel,

Long nose, swing high, divergence,

I have my ppz level just abt where the 8H pin bar closed. Could be a fair play if it breaks quick.

Swing high, divergence,

resistance from the protruding tail from a previous bar which marked the swing high (a concept I also use with my blind trades)

If you or Peter could explain this VSA to us, that would be great...I'm unfamiliar with this....

Also, Giotto, please explain the tick volume in more detail...sounds very interesting....I have the ability to make tick charts with my trading software, but I'm unsure of it's importance....I think your insights on this could really enlighten the rest of us...

Thanks in advance!

Jduester,
apart from what Jigsaw & ghous have said, u can try & PM ikki. i believe he has made several PM's with rac in the past.
alternatively, PM rac directly as your question may/may not involve raczekfx's undisclosed proprietary system/method & other "voodoo".
I intend to frequent-PM him in the near future as i idolize him too.
LONG LIVE rac/Mark
