fib pivot levels indys & all that crap are mathematically provided .....sometimes they work sometimes they don't .......2 forces command every market: supply & demand ( support & resistance on charts ) everything else is to be honest most of the times pure crap .Focus more on money management techniques & way to spot good levels(s/r) rather then to believe in stochastic & macd or rsi Ob or Os which can be very deceving.....market can be overbought for very long time ..vice versa for oversold.......put that mathematically things on side & u will...
I'm really glad to be part of this thread when some on can get good answers when they are starting out. There are more threads in here on price action.

- The Euro's been bought/accumulated for days; the bottom's held. When there's minimal movement as there has been for days now, when she rips, she goes based on pent up demand. VSA showed accumulation days ago - all the lows were bought. VSA'ers have been pointing to it for days. While a minor component of VSA is looking at the stopping volume, in this case it was not difficult - I've marked the buying on the chart.

shorted at 1.3130 as mentioned, 1.3050 look like a nice price to be revisited in the next 24 hours...

i think euro is not crushed but also not shinning. data from usa just came out " not bad", USD would be i bet near parity if was not for yearly deficits over the trillion.

IT usually takes about a week for the average poster here to figure out we are building a retrace by which time we are actually in a full blown reversal. Until that time you will see hundreds here trading with last week's trend getting continuously stopped out or only making a few pips. By the time they figure out what is going on they will have missed the boat and are still trading the wrong setups.

Just do your own thing Primz and make sure you are opposite to the consensus on this thread and you'll be fine. The consensus here is usually 500 pips behind the market.

just a question, that is bugging me with vsa in general. why is this move up on lowering volume safer than the one in december? i admit that the one in dec. was on a smaller scale, but never-the-less, the situation was the same.
please take a look at both screenshots.

Yup, Spanish auction at 0930 (3 Bn) and loads of fundies on the "normal" schedule. We have had over 300 pages here this week and most are looking for shorts instead on making it easy on themselves and going with the intermediate trend. By the time they figure that out, we would have moved in the opposite direction.

About the only thing that you can tell by watching ANY volume in Forex is that there is volume...

The rest, doesn't mean shit.

The peaks and valleys on volume are more indicative as to what session is trading then are of what direction price should be moving.

VSA for Stocks, can be of benefit, but as far as forex, you are still watching for more pattern then are of volume.

IMHO, VSA for Forex SUCKS HARD.

...that Portugal will decide Euro future. This battle was won, now time to wait to see the next battles, and do not forget that the monster is too big to be defeated.

About Euros, I have sold all my Dollars some hours ago, and I only will buy more above 1.3888, I am a long term investor. But for now it is impossible to see some level to buy between the range 1.27 and 1.37, so I only bet around 1.39 to short Euro or waiting to see more fundamentals for a longer term.

Good investment in my opinion is to buy Portuguese 10 years bonds, and everyone can do it for 1000 euros minimum, I have bought in July and December.

Mr."Pimco" are saying that is not buying Portuguese Bonds. Time will tell if Portuguese bonds are good investments, and if myself, Chinese, Japanese and some Middle East investors are buying junk.

THANKS Hda for warning us new guys, it's the second tme now and I hope we all listen, it was a tough day but I try my best to trade PA without any indicators, only use Pivot, Support and Resistance levels. I'm up for the day with $250 which is not bad....I have been trading for 6 month now and still learning....best thing I did was to clear my charts from all the indicators.
