Question about volume spread analysis

I've been reading and training the VSA method, and it really seems to be quite an interesting approach for trading. But now one question came to my mind:

There seems to different patterns for longing and shorting in this method. But, if you think about trading in forex, when other currency is bought, the other one is sold. So, shouldn't it be so that all VSA patterns could always be used for both directions?? I mean, shouldn't it be the same if for example market is tested for going up or for going down?? The pattern is the same, but of course the price action is "mirrored" when testing the upper limits.

Just like pushing thru support works, pushing thru resistance should also work.

Could this be applied to all other VSA methods & patterns as well? I just can't see any reason why it could not..?

You have to consider context.

As a loose example: you can drive your car on both sides of the road, right? But there are only certain places in the world where it's better to drive on the right side, and where it is better to drive on the left.

Well, that's exactly what I'm TRYING to do..;=)

Another example; I use exactly the same method (what ever it is) for trading with EURUSD and USDJPY. Now let's think that something horrible happens in USA, and that affects dollar's course. Because of this, on my trading software's chart, other pair is going up and another is heading down. Why couldn't I use exactly the same trigger on my method to buy other pair and short another??

Isn't it always just the other side of the same movement? To sell USD, or to buy EUR?? To test the market if EUR goes down, or if USD goes down (and EUR up)??

Any comments on this issue..?

Chart show relation of one to the other. if vsa shows gbp/usd is likely to go up it says that gbp is stronger than the dollar an might remain so. but even if usd is weaker than gbp this does not mean you can go simple short usd vs. jpy it does not work like taht

vsa identiftfy the difference of one to the other. look at resource section in shamis thread. you have more reading to do.
