Can some more experienced VSAers please comment on my analysis of EU 60 chart attached. Will not take this trade because i don't yet feel comfortable trading counter trend and H4 trend is still down, but still want to see how i've intepreted the chart. the 3 rejections at Today's POC @ ~1.3620 lead me to believe eu is still going down before retrace which would void my analysis unless POC is broken and holds...but will never learn unless i ask questions some times

Great thread! Keep it coming!

Don't know if i would necessary call that Down bar a climatic Bar (comparing
it to that previous High volume upthrust Bar-it's going to take alot more to stop that Upthrust)-Maybe just a High volume down bar with some buyers in it--

and the Buyers showed themselves with the next bar up--but then, it showed up almost like a NO-demand bar - low volume Bar relative to the two previous bars- and we know those are signs of weakness..

you really have to have good mm for longs in this market.

I also thought eu was being bought but when i saw that up move in US into 1.3650 being hit with supply I knew something was up , so looked only for sells. One turned up at 1,3620 , still in it although has been nail biting all day..lol

alsway wait for a lower high on a test ( low volume down bar) before entering a long on stopping vol .... it is by far the safeest entry

hey all!

long time lurker, first time poster. Been in FX since January and picked up VSA about 3-4 months ago and loved it ever since. Going thru MTM for the 3rd time to pack it all in my head lol.

Obviously alot of selling in the background today.. quite a few short opportunities. Didn't have a chance to get in around the .3635-40 area but price met alot of resistance again at the .3620 area and jumped in at .3609. Now we'll wait and see what price does around last weeks' low to see if we can go lower.

Closed half the trade at +40. BE on rest.

thanks malc and tao for the comments.

malc, mm = money management?

re lower high on a test, do you mean the test bar itself? or wait for a lower high to be made after the test?
Change is the only constant

It makes sense. EUR/JPY has been hit by sellers on 30 min TF on every up move since the beginning of the week and we have not seen any profit taking on those sells...

Classic up-thrust just like from the book. I've noticed that this classic move happens only if I'm sleeping. Got to get up earlier. I would have been done for the day . Dammit

OMG someone's buying EU!!! 1.5 today for sure! /sarcasm

Anyway, just watching, no reason to long yet. Same behavior for some time now. Someone buys, EU gets slammed. If nobody's buying, EU drifts lower.

Edit: Oh and it's just that I like buying more than selling. So I do apologize if I focus too much on buying.

Hi 1pipperhour,

Don't your chart now showing a Down Thrust with High Vol now ?
And you are awake.

FYI, I am not trading on this comment as still waiting for London.

Maybe sell after break of low of that upthrust, you had a top reversal in background.
I think you was very late in that sell, because if you put trendlines like TW, you can see that you are selling at lower trendline.

Thanks Juhanimi.

I may have been away during that UpThrust.
That would have been a good catch on that UpThrust.
Recently I waiting for more confirmation rather than earlier entries.

How would TW put his trendlines ??

I may have miss this section from MTM.
