Very nice. Is there a reason you use a 20 minute?
Cheers! Erm to be honest i'm not entirely sure. I have it in my head that Seb Manby didn't go lower than a 20min time frame so I adopted that. But i'm pretty sure that isn't true.

Anyway, not sure why I initially started but I spent 3 months paper trading with 20min time frames so it has well and truly stuck now!

Too much volume for a "regular" down bar, so there is buying?

SM could be absorbing low volume supply in that resistance/support area. It has been well defended today.

Price action dried up in the last 45 mins, what looked like low/high volume testing of previous levels of supply is not having any impact on price. Eur 15 and gu 15 look like they both have no intrest in higher prices; but we are just drifting up. Im sidelined for now.

But on the 1hr EurUsd seems like price is trap between 1.3515 and 1.3457.
looks like a test and NS might wait till it breaks 1.35100 before making any trade decisions

When would you have entered? Do you make many trades a day or are you waiting for perfect setups? I mean there are lots of opportunities that are tradeble for some 4 - 5 points with 10 points stop loss or less. It seems to work always! Am I the only one who takes them?

I do not trade that way but if it works for you keep it up and continue perfecting your entries.

I have not made any trades today although I was stopped out on a GU long from overnight at break even. The trade on the 1 hour GU I am looking for which I posted earlier, other than that I will be sitting on my hands or playing xbox lol.

Loony looks as though it could be interesting, couple of upthrusts on hourly.

I'm done for the day mind you.

Pretty much standard behaviour for the last few months. Volume falls off dramatically this time of day, and I find you have to switch to lower timeframes to take advantage of VSA moves, and they're not as clear. We tend to correlate more with the S&P until the day's close.

Looks like 1285 needs to hold - a little surprised at the 1295 rejection - am thinking we see another surge to the psychological 1300, and it might be time for profit taking ... or not. USD (USDJPY) not holding up too well and things seem ominously quiet in euroland ... am thinking SM is ready to take the euro the next leg down, but 1.376 and ES 1300 might just happen first.

Really like using it, charts are really easy on the eye. Obviously I don't base my trading on the signals alone but they are admittedly a nice little reassurance when they appear to support what i'm thinking
And do you use Tradeguider volume or do you have the eSignal feed into it?

You have to get a feed for TradeGuider as there isn't anything built into the program. I think there are only two feeds available, i could be wrong though. eSignal is the one i use though, yes.

Esignal feeds tradeguiders volume, unless you use realtime data.

Yes I see now that you buy into membership levels of the VSA club and either get what is called an end of day software (whatever that means) with one, a tradeguider plugin for other platforms with the other and with the highest level you get the full program. I have been using MT4 but find my volume is quite different that those with esignal etc... so I have been looking around.
