Yeah that would be a shame. Spirited debate is always fun. You actually get to promote your software even more.
if software is good enough it will defend itself - if not then it's opportunity for developer to make it good

He was suspended after a full 14 hours after my last post and 2+ hours after he responded elsewhere. I was not going to be around and given his unfounded hostility I didn't want a hit and run post while I was away.

Shamus, I did not find his posts hostile. As a developer I was on your side, but I would like to hear other side what they think and what difficulties are to write such software.

Two hours seemed like enough time to post a chart.

Furthermore he called me "ignorant" (lol) because he mistook what I said regarding *his interpretation*. That was uncalled for and seemed hostile to me. Even though most people (I assumed) would know I meant not that he was wrong, but that SMART was based on VSA itself not any one person's interpretation of it. He missed the point and somehow I am the ignorant one.

I'll be gone most of the day today as I don't trade at all this week so the challenge will need to wait.

PS I just read in the other thread HG thinks he was banned because I was worried? LOL. That is pretty funny seeing as I post charts left and right that he or anyone else can pick apart. The reasons were stated in both posts above HG... I have no reason to worry.

well, in that case that's even worse you act like that

How so? I only just saw that post (and amended my comment to the post) so how in anyway does that make the reasoning for banning worse since he was already banned?

I don't know what was the "timing", but that is not a point. In my opinion it (ban) shouldn't happen, because there was no hostility at all (in this thread).

OK... I just explained where the hostility was for me and the reason for the suspension.

If I called you ignorant or stupid would you take that as hostility?

I would, hence the suspension.

I will be off for a while today getting ready for the holidays and I hope you all have a great one.

Good luck to those trading and see you in the chat.

Hello,

Relatively new here, signed up a while ago but this is my first post. I was going to start a new thread but I don't have those privileges yet. Decided to put it here seeing as this seems to be the most up to date/active VSA thread.

I've been paper trading a strategy since mid September using TradeGuider and am going to be starting for real (for the third time!) in the new year.

Everything to date can be found on my blog. I'd appreciate some feedback if anyone would care to take the time to have a look. I've been posting a bit on T2W as well so some of you may have seen me posting a link over there too.

Cheers,

KFT

I have seen that as a trend weakens you can see the volume decrease. Is there such a thing as volume divergences? Just a thought.

Hi all and happy new year,

i am new on this thread about VSA. Its quite big (553 pages) so if someone could advise me:
1. do I really need to go through all these pages? I mean my eyes will burn reading all these pages even on the LCD monitor
2. i ve read the first page and got an idea and all looks very interesting. In practice does it work? can you make profit?

any advises are welcome

yes you can, but it takes time.
I'm now into my second year of studying VSA on and off, and it's only now just beggining to fall into place.
Like anything else, there is a learning curve, but this is well worth it.

thanks for answering hardpippin

do you trade it with forex? I mean does it works in forex?
Also do I need to start reading form the beginning? Any books/seminars you ve read so far about VSA? Or it is just experience?

Sorry for asking all these questions I just need to check if it is worths my time.

It's absolutely worth your time. The best place to start would be with a book called Master the Markets by Tom Williams. The book is written primarily for stocks but it all applies to Forex as well.

This thread as well as "vsa with Malcolm" are very useful starting points with the first few pages of each giving an introduction to VSA.

Cheers,

KF

i have read the book, and understood tried apply managed to capture a 40 pips profit from the trade. but due to stock being long bias where as forex is different i still cant really know which is testing for long or short or so call no demand or no supply.

Sorry if this has been asked before but how on earth can you get VSA to work with the fx markets when you dont get to see the full volume picture ?

I've been a fan of VSA since I met Tom Williams quite a few years ago but I simply don't geddit when it comes to fx.
He was looking for the card so high and wild hed never need to deal another

Hello Friends: Even a dunce like me was able to observe the high activity (FX does not display volume, but price changes counted as tick activity works almost as well and certainly good enough to make good trade entries) and narrow spread squat bars on the 1H Cable chart that formed during the London-New York session overlap time. This is indicative of and End of Rising Market. It'll be interesting to see if my sell stop at 1.5858 gets filled or if Cable ranges in the narrow price zone from Friday afternoon.

The No Demand bar third back from market close probably has no significance in a trade decision due to the low liquidity conditions on Friday afternoon. The reader should be aware that Monday is Martin Luther King day and US banks and Markets will be closed.
