eu is complicated

not time to go up yet and this is almost exactly what Raver time did on gu ... did not wait for the low volume test

see the set up at 23:00 hours .. that was buyers coming in but they were absorbed. On stopping volume the confirmation for entry is always the low volume test

Now this same set up on GU with such a superb entry as you got on eu would have netted you 40 pip by now as gu is more volatile.

ok so best thing was to wait test like a double bottom or something near 1.354 - on low volume. then up we go ? maybe even a spike down to take out the weak longs and then up ?

thanks

Sup Mal? Have just been catching up on the last two days that I lost and I see you got you r feathers roughed by some hedge funny manager I think is what he called himself. Anyway, this last week I added about 35% in one week to my demo account (I would not really trade so dicey with my life account but sometimes you just want to put my "virtual" money where my mouth is and open up a big position when I can almost already see what is going to happen so clear it is.) Anyway, I have been making steady gains in my life account as well, mostly due to VSA trading and mostly due to you and the incredible source of knowledge you have shared on this thread. Just wanted to let you know that my account says you are very appreciated. Anyway, I just wish there were more of those trolls in this world, because as long as they say VSA do not work I would never have to worry about brokers changing there feed or doing things below the belt. We should encourage him to spread his message while the rest of us just watch as our accounts have yet another green day... Blessings! PH

The hourly fib retrace / S2 confluence held with a nice tripple bottom on this chart.....a typical NY 1 open with a ¿stop sweep? ....down to retest the low.....then the red area was my first zone for taking partial profits.

I was looking for a reasonable pull back to add more longs, but its looking as if this isnt going to happen, so we should move on to my next red boxed zone - provided that we can break the 5020 resistance area....TWT

The last low on the hourly was an impressive doji / pin bar....

Hey guys ....
I started looking through this forum ...
for myself I am very interested in VSA. I have read the '' Master the Markets"book
but I find you must find the accumulation first. to get the general market bias for direction. vsa talks of buying or selling in the background. no one seems to elaoborate greatly on the buying....it is accumulation of a buy position. Sonofsins... with all the volume on all the moves down increases to the lows in the down move..that is buying by big players...if we can see up to 5 or more hours of volume increases in a sell off.or every time the market stages down... it tell us that public is selling hard and the specialist is buying hard... they are accumulating a buy position. when volume drops after a down move what does price do... in this case it went up a little.. this is buying. the next move would have been up.
chart attached.
these cycles of accumulation are most easily seen with a 10min and hourly charts
we need to realize who we (joe Public ) are trading against. when we sell...who is buying... when we buy ...who is selling.
here are some statistics...old by date but the info makes a point of who we trade against.

and basically that is the ppl who run markets.... specialists firms.

Here is a 10 min chart of GBPUSD globex (esignal feed)

If this isn't screeming short I dont know what is. I do see that high volume candle in the background on the news announcement but I think 20 pips can be gained off this entry, At leaste I hope
