Or do you believe more in this trade, target .830.
taking out the daily and weekly pivots, which is
pretty tough to do.

VSA is all about the back ground, nyse was trading 1 or 2 candles signals ... doing ok .... but if you use VSA to catch ranges that is where you make the big moves of 60 pips or more on a 5 min chart .

VSA IS NOT just about the candle on the right of the chart ,.. it is also about the 50 or even 100 candles before that

once you understand this you can use VSA to make hundreds of pips in something like the gj in a day ( it moved 1000 pips in ranges yesterday since US open to Asia) . Trading just the right side of the chart you may as well...
Thank you for this explianation, i have been having trouble defining background, because nobody ever elaborates on it,and the book doesnt really specify how far back is back?

Please continue this focus as i too believe that the left side of the chart is
where to story is told... ii unfolds on the right

I also follow the immediate strength of a move depending on the chart I'm following if I'm watching a 15m chart, I'm looking for volume to increase to half of the previous volume on the previous bar. If the current candlestick can reach half of the volume of the previous candlestick by the halfway point which is 7m30s then I realize that candle has true strength if not, then it usually closes opposite of the previous bar.

You don't need indicators, there a waste of time, market makers trade using price/sales/volume..why aren't you?
Exactly! Well said.

Mind you there are a few other things that go with that

I've composed a spreadsheet which analyzes the volume and spread for EUR/USD on a daily chart.

The volume % change is based on a 30 day volume average and I divide the 30 day average volume with the current volume. The spread % change is based on a 30 day average also and I utilize the same formula. What you look for is particular patterns which occur within the spreadsheet. For example 3/25-3/26 the volume % change went from (+ 9.68) to (-10.97) and the spread % change went from (+9.70) to (-14.02) and it closed down on the 3/27. I noticed...
hello...brother. can i ask you how to calculate volume % change and spread % change at your table attachement. thanks before.

could anyone explain to me... about this...

1.volume is increase and spread is widen.
2.volume is increase and spread is narrow.
3.volume is decrease and spread is narrow.
4.volume is decrease and spread is widen.

sorry if my english is bad because i'm from indonesia...

I'm going to post a revised version of the trading technique which I'm using and it's going to cover 17 bars 2/18@7:30 - 2/18@12:00. I'm going to be posting the HLCV(HIGH,LOW,CLOSE,VOLUME) JUST TO CLARIFY SO PEOPLE HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING AND THE VSA. I BASE MY TRADE ENTRIES ON 2 PREVIOUS CANDLE STICKS. I DON'T USE T/A PERIOD. JUST PRICE ACTION AND VOLUME TO ENTER. THE CHART I'M USING IS EUR/USD 15MIN INTERVALS.I'M GOING TO LIST THE PRICE ACTION IN THE FOLLOWING WAY
....
Just entered this forum to expand my knowledge with VSA.

I've been catching up with all the PMs. I got a question for NYSE, and I was wondering why nobody challenged this issue, I guess everyone was only focused with tick volumes at the time.

1)
NYSE, in an earlier post from you, post #42 dating back to February 2009, you gave a breakdown of VSA trading to learn to think like a Smart Money guy. In that breakdown, I see that you refer to the spread as being the difference of H/L - H/C. In Tom Williams book the spread is only the difference from High to Low. I was wondering why you are subtracting H/C from H/L?

2)
I saw that Forexflash wrote an indicator using your formula H/L - H/C, which to me is a complicated way of just writing the spread C/L, Close to Low.
i.e: On any bar, (High - Low) - (High - Close) = Close - Low.
I was wondering why the complication in mathematics ?

3)
NYSE, I was trying to follow your breakdown and got stuck on that line in your post #42:
"Know Think As A Professional You Marked Eur/usd Already By 13 Points Or Spread, Which Is Represented From Bar 1- Bar 4. "

I couldn't figure out how you came up with this 13 points or spread from Bar 1 to Bar 4? I added all the spreads, played around with them, and could not come up with that number 13. Could you share more on that? Thanks.

4)
Also, on each bar, starting from bar 1 to bar 4 you wrote "<< on Sale" to the right of the spread you calculate. What does this "on Sale" mean?

5)
Then you say that the spread is over 30%. 30% of what from what?
I got lost there, I couldn't figure out the calculation of this 30%.


Sorry to get back to early days, I did not see a post that expanded on those issues. I don't believe that everyone would have understood what you wrote, there are lots of figures that come out of the blue and there are not enough details, at least for me, to put those puzzling numbers together.

The other comments you wrote in that breakdown are phrased with questions. For instance .. "Would You Sell At This Point? Or What?.."
My answer to that is.. I haven't got a clue ! I have no idea what an overall spread should be to consider a short or a buy or whatever. Is there something I missed? I didn't see that in the book. Since your post was a teaching material, asking questions is probably not a good idea :-O

Thanks NYSE for your feedback. I am still stuck on that 13 and cannot move forward..

6)
ps: Forexflash, I see in the indicator that each candle sometimes get a red corner (OBJPROP_CORNER) pointing left, or a green corner pointing right, and sometime they overlap. Is the overlap of red and green corners (next to H/L) intended or should the previous corner be deleted? Thanks.
