I think you'll find that at the currant EU price the popcorn will cost you €6.20 but I think if you give it an hour, you will get it for €5

Cheapskate!!

I was counting on a discount for students there - VSA students that is.

Thanks for this example. I agree with what you say.
I will keep learning this language.

Think of it like this,

Chart are like books but they are written in a foreign language. This language is called VSA. If you want to be capeable of reading this particular 'book' you need to learn the 'language'.

As with any language, loads of people will learn a phrase or 2 and then think they they can 'speak' and 'read' it. But quite obviously, they cant.

If you learnt how to say "Je veux te faire l'amour" you wouldn't expect to be able to read a book written in French! VSA is the same.

Learn the language and you WILL be able to read...

One thing in this post is mega important. Highlighted it.

It is screen time

focus on the three imporant ones

bottoms ..
stopping vol
selling climax
shake outs

tops
upthrust
buying climax
no demands

in up trends
tests on low vol on down moves

in down trends
no demand on up moves

learn these few and you can go a long way

If you see something funky in a chart that you do not like, ie you just took a long but then all of a sudden you see what look likes supply hitting the market , close her down . Better to pay commission than take...

If you are new to VSA take note.

If you only remember 1 thing from this thread, let it be this post. After learning VSA (so you know what all this means ) this post will serve you well.

Great thread, Malcolm and all. VSA is great- it even seems to work on my Alpari uk feed. Just lurking here whilst I read MTM- there's a hell of a lot to digest!
VSA will work with most feeds. It is better with some than others but most should be ok.

This is because we dont care about actual voume amounts, only how they compare against other recent volumes. We dont need to know the volume figure.

There are traders here I haven't seen before. What do you think of VSA? Are you doubters, VSAers or maybe just curious???
I have been reading for a few weeks now. I started reading the threads & found it tough going through all of them. So I have a copy of MTM & reading the important points of this & comparing set ups from Mal, Intel, Hidden Gap & a few more.

All very interesting & is good to see that by using the Volume, you can actually read what will be going on with the SM at S & R, trend lines.

I still need a lot more reading & analysis, but if I can sus out the UT at tops, stopping Vol & tests, ND then I should have it cracked. It's all about recognising what you are seeing.

For me it was a case of looking at the PA with the Vol & not seeing anything, now slowly it is coming, the fog is clearing, but I still cannot drive yet, so to speak.

I think this is what I have been looking for & seeing the reasoning behind the moves with regard to the SM.

It will be slow going as my day job gets in the way.

Keep the clues & insites coming, as MTM is good, but actual examples on the pairs is what makes it more complete.

Cheers

Currently for GU M15 its higher highs with significantly lower vols, time to short (carefully, as market is nervous atm).

Hi Malcolm,

This is a terrific summary.
Thanks Malcolm.

Still initial stage of learning VSA.
It would be even better if can have a PDF file on your first post with this summary, some good;clear and simple Chart examples, and common indicators used.

Malcolm, really Great job with this new thread.
I did follow the old thread near the end.

Also special thanks to HiddenGap with the clear Chart examples.

Thanks Intel for asking us to post.

Regards,
FB.

@mel, ou Intel?

Mon français est terrible, mais je pense que vous venez d'appeler quelqu'un de faire le malin - that is, a smart arse, which is a little surprising.

Nevermind the offtopic... it was to my friend Intel, but it wasn't in any way in a bad sense... more like "little joker"

By the way, my french is probably a little better than yours then... simply because France is where I was born (though I'm not French)

Good Morning Friends and VSA fans: Earlier today I screwed the pooch on a GU long and shook myself out of a good position due to failure to properly read a volume bar. The strength that came into GU at about 1.5510 or so was tested and successfully passed a No Supply Test. I misinterpeted the hourly invereted hammer-shooting star as a sign of weakness. In reality it was a sign of strength. In the 20 minuets prior to BOE's MPC minutes release, smart money (HFT, Quant, Dark Pool) traders pre-positioned themselves to be long for the subsequent rally they strongly suspected to occur after Hawkish or not Dovish minutes were released. In the below 1M chart I noticed demand coming in that drove GU up off of the short term upward sloping trend line it had been hugging. So once again VSA revealed how the adroit trader should have positioned herself to ride the coat tails of the Smart Crowd.

I believe that green means higher than the previous Vol bar & red lower than the previous bar.

Simples............
