au and aj been the best behainvg pairs today not the chop crap we see in gu and eu
Goto go where the setups are. As you know I mainly trade GU EU as you do but, you got me hooked on AU as an alternate when things are too choppy.

However, I did not trade this or anything else to day.......I was working

I wanted to post this chart to help other people. It is about as basic a setup as you can get with VSA.

Hi Jym

The indicator is here http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost.php?p=3964549 Mal posted it a few days ago.

However I have modified it a bit for my taste. I dont want to spread it out for others because I haven't asked for permission from the author.

Thank's for the great chart.

Here is IBFX volume.

On your chart those three bars have increasing volume, unlike mine.

I'm sure this has been covered (sorry), but is FXCM's volume better?

Frank,

those volume bars tells the same story - they all are high vol if You compare to previus and look on price bars too.
For me it tells all the same story.

actually he marked a poor descrepency. look at the bar where intel has marked as time to exit( high volume shakeout) and look at chart th is guy posted. the shakeout bar on fxcm is on higher volume, on ibfx is shorter. i noticed it myself.

Yea, i tough he was talking about buying climax bars, however, they tell me the same story.

But here is mine IBFX - Real ibfx account.
On my chart shakeout has the same vol - the highest vol.

I relooked chart and all the volumes is mainly the same. Not big difference.

So, perhaps, Frank has demo account.

Then he should make live acc.

Frank, just fund with some 10 or maybe its possible to fund with less usd and You will have good volume.

Best,
Tom

Some months ago, IBFX used to have feeds with 4 digit and 5 digit running... I used the 4 digit one, as I thought it was much more accurate;

Later, they migrated my demo account to 5 digit, and at the time I was a little bit worried, so I started having a FXCM demo account running in parallel with my 5 digit IBFX, to compare.

I've reached to the conclusion that some setups are more evident/clear in one, and some in the other... so I kept the IBFX feed anyway, and that's the only one I use now.

Hey that could be it dude. Oanda is my broker and I chart with MT4.

I think that the hassle of setting up a real account with IBFX is worth better volume.

I am using it ( IBFX ) already ~ 14 month, no problems, sometimes comparing with esignal - the same mainly.

Some small different maybe sometimes, but that doesnt change nothing as much as i have seen.


So, IBFX vol is gooooooood.


Best,
Tom

I didn't have the AUDUSD chart ready, so I didn't check it myself, but after your post I went to load it to check...

Having real or demo account can't be the reason, because mine is demo but still looks exactly as yours - take a look:

I have live accounts GFT and IBFX and trade with them mostly. I also have MB Trading (ECN) live account to compare pa to try and get a true read on price. I some times even watch the level 2 data feed to see order flow for confirmation.

Six to 12 months back I use to see IBFX pa lag a few pips or more.

Best wishes.

To solve all your problems just get Sierra chart, Its like 20$ a month and the volumes are always dead on, its not a broker so you dont have to deposit any funds.

So Sierra Chart is just a Chart Software/Data Feed not a Broker? Can you send orders to other Brokers with it? Is tt like eSignal or better? Just curious, thanks.

Best Wishes.
