I think there was too much vol and maybe is coming back, and possible trend change, but we will see what it will be.

aggghhhh here we go with 1 min and 5 min again

here is my trade for today..was unsure of direction but knew we were in middle of days range .... when I got that shake out noted by vertical line the 80 pip trade was a SIMPLE .. placed trade , stop 1.3700 , tp 1.3840 ( upper range limit for day) .. does not get simpler than this

I am hoping we get testing 1.3790 as i have a buy limit sitting there , if not I will see what pa look like in the morning

Agree looking at bigger time frames like H1 and H4 seem more relax.
I got EU Long around same time as you, at 1.3765 and 1.3755, the main difference is that I am still waiting to take the profit.
Have not figure out the range stuff or the taking profit yet.

Last time I traded less or avoid EU. Recently have traded more of EU, thanks to you saying that EU seem to behave nicer for VSA.
Also look at the higher time frames, as thank you for mentioning that too in the past trades.

EU seem slow, but when it gets into a trend, it seem to just keep trending with very little retracements, at least it has recent weeks.

Looks like some possible EU weakness on the last two completed 15min bars... increased volumes with long upper wicks and closed as downbars. Almost LO so let's see what they do out of the gates.

ok here we go ..

what is trend on gu and eu on a 15 and 30 ? selling or buying?

what is safer , look for buys on a 1 min or sells ?

just food for thought...

one thing that has kept me on right side of markjet nearly all january is play the trend on the higher time frames. Other than my 200 pip loss monday i have been very happy buying all dips gu and eu. I let news get better of me even though the trend on daily had not changed yet

so if trading 5 and 1 min charts trade with the 15 and 30 m trends.... in the long run you will be better...
I agree... I always want to see strength or weakness on 15min before looking for trigger on lower...

I am very bull eu and gu to be honest BUT nothing moves in a straight line.

play the waves , but yes i think some major shit is coming down for usd .... I am still thinking 1.57 eu on weekly

on the note of 5 min chart .... here is very clear tests ... when 30 and 15 min are in uptrend .. 100% sure money makers

Attachment
If trading these tests on the way up where would you set SL and TP's since there is no SO or upthrust to use? The low of the test?

I wouldn't say it's weak after it's current run; the Asia PA in fact looked healthier to me.

After a frenzied late frankfurt and first 30 min of London open PA, we're left with wicks and a textbook bounce off R1, due to what look like lots of sellers waiting there and some NDs better visible on a 4M chart; forexlive reports buys trigger about 15-20 pips below that, so I don't think we're done here, but watching the key hourly close in ~5min. Was a little uncomfortable with some longs, so took a portion out, for the all too often 30 pips - chalk that up to this wolf market.

Seeing possible NS in EUR and good support of 1.3825, and I do feel 1.39 is calling but hard to judge which way we'll swing 1st.

since london opened below 3840 we could go down to 3770 which would be a nice spot to buy again.

Grrrr ... was in a nice GU short, and forgot about the stupid news & giving a 40 pip pop ... -20 pips now ... looking like 1.6212 will cap it; EU short progressing well - I hate it when one cancels out the other's profit. But I ain't dumping GU yet.

Yes, but I think H1 still looks weak, because 3 hours now with good volumes and price is not moving up.
It was fast moving 40 pips, took only few seconds.

Typical news bounce, and as happens it appears it got sold in to ... usually within 30 minutes it'd be onwards and upwards if that was the plan.

On a separate note, perhaps watching any of your/our euro shorts is in order - there's a Portuguese bond auction in 30 minutes, and it's expected to go well ...

As I think I've mentioned elsewhere, I've been a fan of VSA for a number of years but over that time have seen the concept fail on numerous ocassions. Often its because the volume data is rubbish, like you get with MT4 but also because Volume per se is imo not enough. It would seem sensible to me that Order Flow, like found with Market Delta would be great when combined with the theory of VSA.

So, my question is, does anyone know of any system or software that combines order flow volume data with VSA ?

Thanks

fail just because a high vol bar does not reverse the market?
