by the way daily is showing a decent upthrust. previous support turned resistance. ABC correction and resistance area of upper channel/bearish flag

if we end the day like this it could be a nice move down. upthrust on 30 min or 1h on monday or a no demand could be a good entry

malc if ur still around what u think of this

for sure signs weakness are there ... thinking no higher than 1.5050.

DJ weekly may move up another 400 point next week to form h and s on weekly. If this happens takes gu up to 61.8% fib of down move and then we look for further weakness if it is there.

I'm using FXCM and I also get stupid volumes.

Looking like it may be a confirmed UT (ish) on M30 but, the background isn't quite as clear.

We have selling coming in yesterday but through the asia session is not clear to me.

I would look for a retrace of sorts then a ND for careful shorting.

We'll see soon enough.

EDIT :- For an ideal UT it shoud have closed on the lows

No ND but, both the retrace and the down move came!

i have compared dukas, ibfx and fxdd..

first two is very similiar, however the last one can be dramatacially different...

for vsa, we need very reliable feed, for whom cannot afford some source has some cost, i use dukas as advised before in vsa forum...

any answer would be appreciated...

in the meantime, have nice weekend all vsa lovers.

rgdrs,
Hi bruceli
both the ipolo and the hiddengap indi's have average level features. the ipolo provides 2 diff avg levels for the slow time of day (asia) and the more active higher-volume times, which also provides an easy rough way to see session starts & ends. the hiddengap provides more of a moving average type of level, and an ATR/2 std deviation (i believe) that indicates ultrahigh vol levels. there may be other differences.

i have found the hiddengap to be more stable. i'm only 85% sure that the ipolo was causing too much cpu/memory/something interrupts which my broker says can cause skipped ticks/bad data. i determined this by selecting the crosshair cursor and moving around in fast circles...no joke..if you see pauses/skips while circling you will know what i mean.

once you install one of these, could you post some screenshots from dukas with in the same TF as some of the recent posts here, so we can compare volume data?

thanks cheers

I'm not sure they work for Dukascopy's platform. At least I didn't manage to convert any indicator to Java, but I may be doing something wrong...

If anyone has any experience porting / using MT4 indicators on jForex, Dukas' platform, please share.

Hi Malcolmb14,
I hope you are doing good ... I have been an reader of your posts in your previous thread ....I recently saw this thread and was wondering what happened, which lead to this new thread? I went back and searched for clues and finally found it .... i am thinking wow, quite unfortunate ! its quite challenging/testing to give out free valuable knowledge and not a cup of tea for everyone and I do appreciate your view point. I do agree that the best way to learn this method is to spend time on charts and/or join a VSA club or another best way would be follow your posts.

I am currently in the process of learning /practicing/ implementing a short TF and an longer TF methodology on Demo MT4 account using FXCM. I personally feel that for the shorter TF trades VSA is the way to go ...and combined with S/R and a couple of confluence factors it is an unbeatable method. As i currently have a full time job therefore its very challenging to follow a shorter TF but I am trying to find ways to do it as i intend to take up trading as a full time career, eventually.

Though i am not totally new to VSA however i do need to clarify some of the nuances of your trading methodology which i havent been able to grasp earlier.... i hope you would be ok with it.

Your efforts and time is much appreciated.


ciao

Hello guys,

I have attached gbp/usd m15 charts from three brokers, fxdd, fxsol and ibfx. All of them are live account. I think fxdd is more reliable when we are talking that abnormal volume spike in last early europe session. What do you think?

have a nice weekend,

polomine

hi djarum11 ,

thanks for your answer..

here i ve put only dukas and ibfx of 1 hour. they are almost the same...

i hope there is no problem with the dukas's volumes, because i follow everything from dukas's demo mt4 platform...

if i didnot remember wrongly, Odl, dukas, ibfx all were adviced because of their very close volume data to esignal before in vsa forum.

i use dukas. i hope it works, cause i use lots of volume based indicators

i also recommend using all kind of (hl/2, hloc/4,close,hlc/3) on balance volume, pvt, etc. i am looking for mvpt now ... i dont know now, but, they may work as filter... i am working on them now..

in the meantime, i can put other time frames of these here...

cheers..

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the tip!

I remember they had MT4 up for beta testing some while ago, did they go live with it? I can't find any download / instructions on the site, how could I use the platform?

I guess I can shoot a quick call over to them on Monday, but thought you may be able to help in the mean time. Currently I'm trading live with the jForex platform.

Cheers.

I managed to get the MT4 running for Dukascopy. I will touch base with them on Monday to see if I can login to MT4 with live account.

I would be careful with using demo feeds for live action, however. They seem to be off a bit, in many places. I'm thinking the "duka" in your image above is demo feed, as that's what I'm getting on MT 4 too.

Will stick to jForex platform for now to make trading decisions.

See below demo vs live comparison of Dukas' volume data. There's even a discrepancy in one of the bars, up bar on live, down bar on demo. Preliminary conclusion is that demo feed seems to lag a bit, data from past bars seems to be added up in subsequent ones, or at least partly.

when i checked daily volumes, i have seen something very strange.. it makes me wonder how it can be healthy..

here you are..

in the meantime, i am sorry for late reply, but glad to see you manage demo of dukas...

regarding jforex, i am doubtful whether it is close to esignal, cause, i have heard first time from you.. however, some problems could be as you mentioned in demo account such as updating new datas and changed volumes...

Hello Everyone,
Earlier in the other VSA thread i read that FXCM MT4 volume is similar to eSignal and quite a few people were successfully using it ... i was wondering if you have tried using it or has is it not the same anymore.?

thanks

Hi

I am reading very interesting book by Timothy Ord, titled ""The_Secret_Science_of_Price_and_Volume". You can find it at
http://rapidshare.com/files/23488551...dl4all.com.pdf . Please ensure you have a origional copy of the book before downloading in order to ensure you are not in violation of copy right laws.

I thought this book may be of interest to the traders viewing this thread. I do not know how much it applies to forex.

Kind Regards
