Hello, ShowT!
It seems that you are a testing expert on trading stragegy.Would you please tell me your testing method? I am interested in a combo strategy of VSA, ATR and Marekt Profile. But I don't know how is its effectiveness and how to play with it.
VSA efficiency depends only on your skills to interpret it. Here is VSA efficiency curve
As you see from it in the beginning you spend a lot time with charts but it doesn't help much but after some point you master skills start growing faster....and it looks like that break point far enough to prevent 90% of people of crossing it.ATR and MP are much more simple, I use them mainly to determine direction of trend, s/r lines and stop/profit targets. Just play with them little bit and you will find how and when they useful.
From testing I can tell you that method really gives you high probability trades! Once you have a plan and enter the trade it should be no more doubt! Close the trade only if your PLANNED sl is hit or you achieve your profit.
One of the main points of this strategy that helping your VSA to make profits was mentioned here by Malcolmb and in DIBS thread by PC and in hundred other places by hundred other people:
TRADE WITH THE TREND!(only buy if higher then previous close and vise versa) All the tools you use serving just one purpose - to determine if the trend exist and where its going and if its going to revers.
“buy the rumor, sell the news”
