If we can break todays lows 3289 should be on the cards.
Almost to the pip.

Now we have very interesting price action around 3330. There is a definite battle going on there between bulls and bears. As of now we have tested the low of the FOMC high volume bar on the 15 and hourly. It looks like testing to me but I wont be long unless 3360 is taken out.

Check your 1hour charts people, Eur could easily move higher, I'm not saying it will but there is definite signs of strength on multiple timeframes.

Like I said, a pretty aggressive entry. My journal will include this:

"Do not like the No Supply bar used as an entry. The bar makes a higher high and not a lower low than the previous bar. Would rather see a lower low and not a higher high or an inside bar in this situation........."

Other thoughts. Once you see the wide spread up bar on ultra high volume you need to be looking to move your inital stop or take some profits. This bar could be pushing thru supply as there is a top to the left, but the high volume should get your trade management...
I think that was 5 min accumulation and that was the TOP ...Nice call at the bottom..
and Nice to have you Back-- Now , we gotta get mal away from the craps table..lol

I blame the losses on the g and t or was it the martinis ??? Lol

Gu nice sell mode today and eu looks to be sell rallies . The relief rally / sideways action we have seen last 2 weeks maybe die to quadruple witching Friday. They tend to unwind positions before day of expiration now

hello Intel,
I really like your chart, I am quite new here and sorry for my rookie question: where can I read what SO, ND and NS mean? when I tried to search FF fro VSA I got so many results. Is there a kind of summary, short description to get me familiar with general idea.
Thank you in advance
Thanks but that wasn't one of my charts, I just annotated someone elses.

Foxy is right. Look for Master The Markets by Tom Williams, it is widely available here at FF (Forex Factory). If you look in the attachments folder in the top right of this thread, it will probably be in there somewhere(sorry I cant think of where it is exactly off hand). MTM is where most of the abbreviations begin.

a few common ones are :-

SO shakeout
UT up thrust
ND no demand
NS no supply
NSP no selling pressure
NBP no buying pressure
HV high volume
LV low volume
UHV ultra high volume
ULV ultra low volume
EORM end of a rising market

There are many more to consider but the main thing is to read MTM as the starting point for your VSA journey. You will never understand VSA if you dont.

Lots of strength in the Euro (5 min) need to see how it plays out.

Im finding "The Undeclared secrets that drive stock market" from TOM WILLIAM, "Better" than Master the Markets, at least easy to understand.

I know we always quote MTM but USDSM is also very good. Both should be read really but if you tell newbies that they should read both of those big books, they just glaze over and go back to using a weather vain for trading

If you can remember where the link is for USDSM would you post it please cos I cant remember.

Here's a very good 30 page summary of VSA; not sure of the source - looks like a Tradeguider provided/created PDF. Worthy of posting and rereading over and over and over ...

Yes this is an excellent reference point. I think it was made by Forexflash in Shamus' thread.

A really great trader at another board used to speak very highly of Undeclared.........

That trader is now part of the Tradeguider family. Moral of the story: get both. Especially since you can get MTM for free.

I'm looking for some help with a DYO for Ensign. I need to figure out how to paint volume less than the previous two. Can anybody help?

Do you already have the volume indicator? And does it paint different colours already?

you could compute average from 2 bars before (i+1, i+2) and draw line (simple average), then you will know if current bar volume is greater than previous two, another thing is to compute projected volume instead of current

The average one wont tell him if the current is lower than the lowest bar, just the average of the 2.

There is a projected volume indi for ensign but it doesnt have the < than prev 2 function.

What do you think McL?
