None of the MT4 brokers have reliable volumes. They're all sort of close, and all probably good enough for practicing, but none of them are exactly reliable, since they're all just reporting the tick volume in their little corner of the market.

For reliable tick volume you need a service like esignal or maybe iqfeed that aggregates a number of tick volume sources. Esignal appears to be the favorite.

Dukascopy volume seems pretty close to esignal and they do have free charts with volume on their web site. I would say dukascopy is the best free source for realtime forex tick volumes I know of.

Among the MT4 brokers with free demos, ODL volumes seem the best to me.

it's a centralized market so from this point of view is a good ideea and because you use zen fire, witch i understand it's very good for futures data feed, it's even better but be very careful the futures market is considerably lighter then forex market and between 8-11 ny time it's the biggest vol trade and this may cause some discrepancies between the volumes bar during this periods and after which can hurt your VSA strategy

I think 125$/month is a lot for Esignal - a volume indicator.
Isnt there cheaper possibility?

Thanks Malcomb for your input. I have been scalping 1m with this chart live for over a year and it works well for me. Yes, I am just starting to read about VSA and Tom Williams but find it difficult to trade pure VSA right now. I am looking at VSA charts on my other 2 monitors trying to get the hang of only using price and volume.

I realize that this trade is not VSA, but attempting to become famaliar with using volume and bar charts. Still feel more comfortable with candles and due to inconsistancies in broker volume looking into esignal feed. I currently have accounts with IBFX and FXCM and find issues with volume as have been discussed on many VSA forums.

Yes, I do scalp small pips on news, 10+ and leave a lot on the table, but I only need 10 daily.

Thanks again for your input and glad you found humor in my post.

I figure with a lot of screen time and adhering to the pure VSA rules I can hopefully immulate your success.

Thank You and Regards,
Cigarguy

in fact is not 125 is 175 with forex feed and esignal charts, from what i know...
you can try livecharts which cost 19.99 and add forex feed for a total of 52,95...there are very limited charts and you can used mainly just for the feed...
i hope this help's...

Or you could just download fxpro, fxcm, ibfx, etc. for free and use one of those. I and others have said many times the exact numbers don't really matter too much as you will find relationally the data is the same from broker to broker (larger ones)... Meaning a no demand bar on one is typically a no demand on another even though the numbers involved volume wise may be drastically different, and for learning this should be fine.

Hope this helps and have a great weekend everyone.

Here's a SMART chart/Update (Testing USDx H1 Globex Continuous and Trading all dollar pairs using VSA)

http://content.screencast.com/users/...02-05_1244.png


Cool huh? wicked signals even with globex volumes being a bit different than standard pairs (tick wise)

I know I keep saying it's coming but I ran into a snag with the Volume SR System that needs fixing before general release.

Have a great weekend.

Having a great time using Vsa as confirmation tool, I'm holding trades for 200+ pips without a fear.

This market is just to ride, I'm preparing for big moves to come next week.

Sure here you go.
My suggestion is to use Vsa with support and resistance, is the only thing you need really.

Vsa tells you when trend might reverse and when to hold your trades. I'm not an expert of Vsa and really got the basics from malcomb14 and drg.

I was trying to use Vsa alone and I was using it bad without paying attention at long term trend so I sometimes argued with malcomb and drg and had some doubts about using vsa alone, but i kept it in my toolboox and i found it very usefull when combined with support/resistance and price action.

Here's a chart:
http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=4359

It proved out to be a very good finding even if I had to argue with a big name on the thread and got my ass banned on the thread.

Nothing is the key and the magic formula, but sure thing volume is a good thing to complete your strategy.

Thanks and yes I too am having difficult letting go of my indies that I have used for years. But I am willing to spend whatever time it takes to learn VSA, mainly because its becoming to stressful scalping the 1m charts.

Its difficult letting go of my candles and other indies. I am attempting to slowly wean away from that method by keeping VSA up on other monitors while still trading my current method consulting the VSA charts.

I do believe in the long run the effort will pay off. Its sometimes difficult to break old habits... lol

Thanks for the chart and like to see some of your trades if you are inclined to post them.
