For me I like to see the volume come in on the hourly chart with the next bar up/down confirming strength/weakness and then i move to 20min for my entry. Maybe give something like that a go? Guess it boils down to finding what works for you.
tried everything i can think of, nothing works for me lol

powerful tool.
also draw the quartiles and extensions. once the fork works, you know the angle in which price moves and respects.

Yes, I have used that in early days.
Now reached middle line with out breaking it and ND there 2, does not look so good atm.
And we are still in downtrend.

as i said, 3630 could be on the cards for retrace and test, which is the forks lower quartile and was rejected until friday.

thats exactly what i tried at the start of the year, moving to 1h charts mostly, and checking 4h sometimes. hasnt worked with all this ranging bs so ive gone back to 5 and 15. plus i find vsa in fx at least doesnt work for me above about 15min. probably because of the way the sessions and news releases work theres high vol low vol all over the place and i find it far more difficult to get anything meaningful out of it. not that im any good at 5 and 15min either but at least i can see more of whats going on, and earlier than waiting for hourly bars...
This yesterday's kaboom was very well seen at hourly (for bigger picture I use always higher tf-s, only sometimes I zoom out lower tf-s). I hope I'm like other mallerinas . I used hourly, H4 and daily for bigger picture. Then malcolm started to talk about H2. So I had to get H2 as well to see what the hell is he talking about. Found out that this tf is pretty good. Now he is talking about H8. WTF, I thought . Well, the hell with it, got also H8 to my desktop. Now I have 8 different tf-s lined up on my 24" screen's desktop. I only trade EU just not to make learning VSA so difficult and having 8 tf-s on my desktop is the best thing I have ever done for my trading till now. If malcolm starts talking about some new tf I probably will have it (maybe have to buy third screen) .

Here is the chart

yeh i can see the stopping vol and that test on that particular hourly.....go look at thursday, up bar, down bar, up bar, down bar ALL day. eventually worked its way up slightly but my god that was untradable on hourly for me. tuesday wasnt much better with pins, dojis, spikes all over it.

So what if you don't find a trade in some days if you will find one like yesterday.

I should see this on friday

That tells me that bigger TFs rule

I choosed that bar coos it is ultra high ultra wide one...never mind if it is few days back ...

It is still valid until we get similar one after what we need again to wait and see reaction on that particular

By me i dont choose just highest volume bar but one to be widest ..even if there is one with bigger volume i would choose the one wich has the wider spread but also very or ultra high volume

It is easy to see how we got back on friday on thats 1h marked bar close and shoot up...

Also valid long trade would be from the (red line) i marked ..or low of that 1h bar..if we fell so much deep

But if we got bellow of low of that bar and than an up move in to that low or in to that red line on no demand or an up trust that would be good short trade

Also..i manage to see and saw that in Gavins video that 50 % or middle point of such Ultra Wide spread and Ultra High volume bars can give us some good setups...But those are more risky ones and for bigger experts than i am..lol i am not even expert still..But this is for now how i see those VSA setups

1.3640

By this rule, trigger point for monday would be 1.3640

So an deep into that area and than an up move after no supply or stoping volume or test would be grate

That's part of my problem is that I was planning on starting 2011 with 5K in my account but after the birth of my second daughter Feb 9th and some juggling of the finances when reviewing what my spouse will be collecting on maternity leave I had to cut that down to 2K... Then we came home and our roof was leaking water from an ice damn that had been forming all winter from the major amounts of snow we have received this year so I may now have to clean out my account to fix my roof come spring... Looking now like I may have to go back to trading mico lots or taking the rest of the year off...

A well I guess such is life... as you metioned the market shall be there forever that may just mean next year for me...

Quoting Dr.Geppynius
all you have to invest is time. the markets will be there forever, since it is the main tool of the powers that be.

after two years you are theoretically at 284k, starting with 5k.

there is absolutely no get-rich-quick in the markets, but there have to be enough to think that to provide fresh liquidity

This might be our SL area ..bellow 50 % maybe

Also 61,8% and 50 % might be interesting spots to watch for longs

High volume, low spread... not sure if this is a VSA term or not.

Cool, cheers. Don't think it's VSA related, i've never come across it in various videos with Gavin/Tom, only once I started reading this thread.

I've been lurking for the last couple of weeks, keeping up to date with this thread and LOL at Malc and the Mallerinas

I've just discovered the futures charts and I think I've fallen in love. Any comments from the seasoned amongst us on the daily and weekly volume for the futures chart? I've attached a chart below. Normally I see people talk about 1439 minutes as an equivalent of daily on the spot fx but it doesn't seem as clear as below (which I presume means futures are only traded at certain times, not 24 hours).

Yes, and looks good if EU stays bullish.
