What do you think of it? a bull flag is forming? or distribution is taking place.

Did oil ever take off upwards an hour ago...
Now let's look at how VSA got us into this trade...

15 min chart

So we have been moving up and down and then we suddenly get a spike in both volume and spread on a downbar... now SM has my attention.

Let's start at the red line and work our way over a few bars...

1. Red line is the sudden spike in volume and spread with the close not far off the low... no real SOS just yet.
2. Next bar is a squat bar so we now are waiting to see if we have gotten stopping volume over 2 bars.
3. Next bar is up bar on good volume closing on it's high... so we did find some buyers.
4. Next bar is a SO / test of the squat bars close. This would be an aggreesive entry point entering at the break of the high with SL at the low.
5. So here is a nice SO confirmation bar... now we look for safe entries off the 5 min.

5 min chart

So now we can look at the make up of the 5min charts... I know that my highest volume upbar (SO confirmation bar) has given me a possible trigger to get in long at 102.71.

Red lines left to right...

1. Highest volume downbar on 5 min... possible trigger?
2. Next highest volume pinbar... possible trigger?
3. Highest volume 5 min upbare... possible trigger... This also corresponds with my 15min trigger so I like this one.
4. NS closes right on the trigger... nice safe entry point.
5. I didn't mark it but the next bar is a hidden test and another nice entry.

Hi Sony,

I am not a master. : ) Just my 2 cents. Wide spread bar but not high volume means No Buying Pressure, that is sign of weakness. However I think it's not favorite SOW such as End of a Rising Market, Buying Climax .

And this is Ipolos nice 3 min chart

First bar i marked as an widest range bars..We can see that by the indicator bellow..as well Ipolo made it

Then entry is second marked bar it tryed to push up but looks at the volume and range

So we have an valid short entry

In this trade i could see that range of the bar was even more important than volume itself

I picked widest raneg bar not only highes volume bar...that might be bad

Please masters of VSA if you can writte few about that fact...

Anything there peak your interest?
Besides the overall lack of interest in EU today... daily is shaping up to be either a NS / pin or ND... Not a squat nor a strong downbar so I guess we are going to be heading higher. Looks like a day off to rest for the bulls.

The POC's are nicely stacked and almost in order for the last 5 days.

I had the same feeling with EU today. I was right taking long after ns but stop was to tight and I knew it was but I was certain that it goes up now and not after second ns at the same place. If my stop would have been 2 pips lower I would have been fine.

My take on today - 30 min EU chart.

Strength seen yesterday, and repeated today on down move back to previous days POC. Volume dropping off on rise back to todays POC (so far) - PA for the day is finished IMO.

SM has positioned for tomorrow or thursday (is there news? lol) and chart looks very bullish IMHO. I'd be looking to buy on a low volume test of 1.4170 or thereabouts in asia (when I'm asleep lol).

Anyone agree? This time I've not had any drinks
