Don't I know it....

Tuesday morning when I told you I thought it was going up? It was the FIRST time I actually saw it developing before it happened. THAT, was a really good feeling. I never would have seen it on just the 1 & 4 hour charts.

You know me, I'm all about learning. I'll learn MUCH here....

I think she's preping for another climb here soon too.

I put this spreadsheet together some time ago now to help me sort out the lot sizes on metatrader and to make sure I was not risking my account trading sizes that were too big, if you have metatrader you need to enable dde server under server this will feed the price through to the exchange rate field you
also might have to enable update links automatically in the worksheet if a warning pops up.

If you do not have metatarder you can change the exchange rate field manualy hope this helps some of you

ONLY the fields in RED can be modified

Hey daffy,

If I'm reading this volume right, we should be going up...no?

I'm thinking of buy orders in the 6955 area perhaps? If it drops that low for a low volume test?

Or maybe I have it backwards? Just started with VSA a couple days ago.

albchr,
if i may....

Hmmmm... looking exclusively at that chart, seems there's not "enough" info to make decision/s from. if u "widen" your chart outlook, say look starting around Aug3/4 (M15 chart still), then probably we can make a good enough/better decision. we may stall at 1.6955, still we may test 1.69 -1.695 area.
malcolmb14 usually says "check the background" & try to analyze what is happening in the background (ask yourself: is there buying/selling in the background?)

Just a small insight..

Not quite, a high volume down bar, indicates possible hidden selling, we need to wait for confirmation to enter in the other direction. Until it's confirmed, we're on yellow alert as to whether we take a long position.

Also bear in mind we've been choppy all morning, largely in anticipation of BoE and ECB rate decision - based on that, my current position is flat.

Thanks SC,

I only zoomed in for the screen shot. I'm not jumping in on anything (yet). Just wanted daffy's read on my thinking as I'm working on learning this VSA.

Good morning EO,

So I'm reviewing your posts the last 24 hours and see you were accused of BS trades. Err, WTF is that about?????? Look at your post 21170 - that looks pretty clear to me. You and Chris were clearly discussing that was the top yesterday and I simultaneously placed a short on a 10 min pin bar in EUR USD (obv correlated), in part b/c of your confidence in the GBP USD top holding. So forget the cable thread and let's just stick here!!

Want to focus on announcements the next hour but will be back later to some ideas to share for NFP later.

Which is why I went on to ask about the hanging man symbol for the daily. Wanted to get your opinion on holding overnight. I didn't, but so what - I'm responsible for my decisions and appreciate you took the time to advice....there's more trades being set up right now anyway!

Hmmmm.....could have bagged a nice 30 there on that bounce off 6956....

EDIT: I have much to learn. How did I miss that?

Hello all,

just want to thank EOhater for sharing his methodology - MAs do tell a story and I know thats a good few hundred screen time hours (minimum) youve put in to unravel it.

You have a great thread - really nice atmosphere - almost Zehn-like, very focussed and tight group - thanks to Kenneth, Turtle, Pippinole et al - always valuable input.

Been lurking and learning and practising some of the setups - risk is very easy to quantify with this system - which is the part of trading i have most trouble with.

Think i`ll continue to hang out here if you dont mind

Much Thanks again
