Btw...Tom also said at the VSA symposium in London, that he prefers tick volume over the transaction volume.

Ha! Yoda is a great idea too.

Audio alerts just went live for all signals and advanced signals some other goodies too.

Also included in this update: Advanced Spinning Rowboat Module, Bag Holding Module, HG's Dynamic Balance Line, On screen color code guide, and some minor optimizations.

Wait till you see what's next.

Good luck trading and I'll see you in the chat.

Hi Shamus and all, Very cool thread. I have been doing alot of reading since last week. I have a system that I trade regularly and have been looking for a simple way to identify reversals and continuation patterns to impliment into my trading system. But after reading the material you have in the first post I am beginning to think I have been going about this the wrong way. This looks like a simpler way to trade and who doesn't want to catch a ride on the BIG DOGS BACK?
So I will be looking to replace my system with this one and joining the group!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. I went to see a favorite band of mine (Rush) and am still recuperating from all that awesomeness in one spot.

I was able to meet both Ray Daniels (Rush's Manager) and Howard Ungerlieder (Rush's Lighting Manager... We somehow were given seats in his reserved row) which was almost as cool as seeing Rush live... again!

It was an awesome night. I'll be back with some SMART updates and charts later today.

I'll see you in the chat and good luck trading.

SMART is great guys. The perfect way to learn vsa. Watching setups unfold without second guessing myself has been a big help. Try catching the first big swing of London session its relatively easy to trade with the new vsa toy haha. I also love scolling the mouse over vsa bars and seeing what they immediately, great feature. Thanks Shamus!



Edit: One thing that would help even more would be extending the SMART history. It would make backtesting vsa a great deal easier if we could look back a year or so? Still, forward testing is going great so i cant complain

Thank you very much for the kind words.

As for the history... you can just set the display option higher. In the global settings module. We set it to 500 bars by default but it can be set much higher with no issues.

Pop in the chat if you are unsure where to change this or have a problem.


PS I wanted to mention this as well.... Everything within SMART is editable or customizable, including sound files for the new audio alerts, and the colors of the various signals and icons. If SMART displays it, it can be changed to suit your needs. You can disbale and enable any of the modules which makes learning and trading certain patterns.

We have a couple of newer advanced modules coming in the next update and possibly the EOM and Dead Zone modules if we can get them done in time.

Hi Shamus,

does SMART also work properly with the Trade Simulator, simulating past price action, described in this threat: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=70742 ?

I am not sure but if I remember correctly it does not but you can set your display very high and this works as a sort of visual backtest.

The simulator I doubt would be accurate for smart anyway as the ticks are simulated whereas the price is not.

I hope this helps.

Hi Shamus, What type of volume do you used in your system? Is it volume from your broker or futures volume?

For what's it's worth I just tried SMART on the simulator and it does work, audio alerts and all. I can't be sure what's simulated and what's actual historical data, but the volume shown, the price action from it, and SMART signals all seem to be on the mark. I just made 27 simulated pips going long off a reverse spinnning rowboat hehe

I've used this simulator quite a bit lately, and I think it's great. It's improved my trading a lot, so I will probably do a fair bit of simulated trading on it with SMART on a regular basis to keep skills sharp. Since it's simulated, I always take the results with a big grain of salt, but I think it's good practice anyway...

I used to play tennis, up till I moved from Toronto, with Geddy Lee regularly, and with Alex Lifeson ocassionally. Geddy is a very, very good tennis player. Immensely competitive. More competitive than almost anyone I ever played on the pro tour.

In fact one of my funnier, zany, tennis stories, features him prominently.

Cool news. It makes sense now that I think of it.

Also Steroid I'd love to hear it sometime.

I hope you guys are having a great weekend. See you in Asia.

For those of you that own SMART we have some goodies in testing. One of which is a modification to our VSR Module (Volume based Support and Resistance) that looks very promising.

A couple of new highly tradeable patterns we've identified (I posted about one on our posterous site) that will be new advanced signal modules complete with their own bar color, icon, and audio alerts.

One thing I am very excited about is a HVA Module chuck is working on.

On the trading front our targets were met in AJ (In the chat and on the posterous site as well)

After some more internal testing I'll try to finish up an article I am working on for scaling in on longer term VSA moves using SMART (it will be in the client area).

Good luck trading and see you in the chat.
