Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) and background

Hello

I'm reading a lot of post an article about VSA. I do believe now that volume in Forex is as much important as it is in any others market exchange vehicles.

Now, in these analysis, it is often mention that the background is important. We should interpret the actual data in relation to what is in the background.

How far do we go? Is there a limit to the value of an information in background?

What background informations is valid to be kept?

A quick recap by some knowledged peoples on that could be interesting.

Martin.

P.S. Hope as was clear enough to be understood as I'm more fluent in French

As any other method, the important thing is not using a method blindly. Understands its basic is the most important, the more strict we are with a system makes us no different with any other ea, we are human actually that have instinct to adapt & evolve, as do the market.

In connection with VSA, I use the volume indication also, but can't say that I purely use 100% VSA, because I build my own trading edge which fits with myself & always learning to understand "new change" in market behavior. I use volume indication to spot some "breaking", "fueling", "accelerate", and "panic" area.

You know, around late of 90's VSA quite well-known untill now & make it commonly used than before, that sometimes I see market makers try to outsmart VSA user. So, the important thing is not strictly use VSA method as we expect market will never evolve. Grasp the basic of it.

Assassin I agree with you many aspects but I must say this:

The market is always evolving but the basic principles stay the same. They are timeless. Even though the market makers try to outsmarts VSA users they will always leave footprints that's why I love VSA itself.

I use VSA for my forex learning path and so far I'm impressed by this timeless method although I'm just starting and testing.

I'm new to this but I'd like to share my point of view

Could you elaborate on that. How could they hide their volume.

Only way that I see is by buying on a more steady basis instead of one big shot at the time. But, even with that, it will be visible on a different larger time scale.

A good day to all
