we are picking up vol as we are attempting to leave the IB low. I find this interesting that IB vol. has remained the same this far into the session. also london just closed. Hmmmmmm..........
Id like to think that is was selling vol., and that the pull back was just profit taking from the london session. again thinking outloud.

based on the time of this post, it looks like you are using london close time @ 2PM Eastern - which is 7PM London time. Curious as to why you use that time...i use 5PM london/12PM eastern as the london close...

I use gmt time I get messed up with BST. Frankfurt Stock market closes 11am my time 18:00 gmt. I set that back an hour because london is on BST different from gmt. I think. I use Frankfurt open & close

When I refer to london I mean the "european session"
I should be more specific, sorry.

I remember reading the post and thats why I forgot, I cant retain all that

theres so many "if this", "then" this, "but only if" 2 bars ago "wait" etc.... I honestly cant retain any of that stuff. Ive spent alot of time trying. If I could turn all that "verbage" into reconizable pattens, I could pick it up quicker.

Just for you

WSU = wide spread up (closing off the lows)

UHV = Ultra high volume

This is your first sign of weakness (opposite for strength)

The UHV means only one thing: the professional side of the market is active

The pros are active as price is rising, this is because they need lots of buying to fill their sell orders

Without getting into too much jargon, this bar/volume combo may happen several times. You don't short on this alone, but it means that you put on a filter and start looking for the SOW that will follow, I'll go back to paint for the next thing you want to see

This is an up thrust

It looks like a pin bar. The most important thing about this bar is:

 

  1. It closes on/near its lows
  2. It is into fresh high ground
  3. Its volume is not less than the previous two bars

I like to see a down bar or a no demand within 2-3 bars

Here is the entry bar. A no demand bar is a narrow spread up bar with volume less than the previous two bars. Short the break of the low with your stop above the up thrust.

There it is, wash rinse and repeat. Opposite for longs.

You can be aggressive by not waiting for the ND and shorting the UT, or you can take a ND after a sign of weakness. You only want to do this if you have confluence of other factors.

The other factors that I like for confluence are:

 

  1. Supply and demand zones from larger time frames than your entry bars
  2. Previous day VAH/VAL
  3. Unfair lows in up trend (opposite for shorts)

Edit: forgot to add chart

Well here it is, it is not as complicated as you think.

Three steps, memorize them and it will take time but it is worth it. Once you get it, it is much more simple and you will see what I mean.

I appreciate your effort,
Ive followed both vsa threads since day 1. The first one started march, 11, 2009. Ive followed for 2 years and I have missed more trades, trying to work all that out in my head. I try to use what I can remember, but I cant use it as a methodology to base all my trades on. Im much more profitable with AMT & MP but I really cant spend more of my time on something that doesnt work well for me. 2 yrs is more than I care to spend. Im not a "Bright eyed bushy-tailed" college student, with plenty of years to burn

Man, I missed out on a lot since I've been gone. Sorry everyone, day job killed my free time these last few days. I ended up taking a small loss on my EUR/USD position because I chickened out but not sweating a 0.8% loss. We'll get 'em next time. I hope everyone rocked some pips this week! I wish I had the time to trade as most of you folks do.

TG, I'm no one to question why someone would place a trade! If you're adding to a "losing position" I'd imagine you were trying to make more money!

Good trades everyone, looking forward to next week. Judging by some of the price action we've seen over the last two days, next week should be a challenge!

VSA terms like up thrust, no demand and no supply.

Need to apply (appear) in the right place.

Don't short up thrust in the up trend. The right place to short is when it appear in the down trend.

Don't short no demand in up trend, The right place to short is when it appear in the down trend.

Don't long no supply in down trend, The right place to long is when it appear in the up trend.

(if the market decide to go on one time frame price action, many UT, NS and ND bar will appear to lure you in, and continue charging in the previous direction)

Gavin emphasize this over and over again in his video. but not many ppl pay attention to it.

imho, the knowledge to see the forest and the tree is still AMT & Market Profile.
