[quote=kenfen69;4955916]Works SO well combined with SD zones. I have stopping placebo down. Now working on...what I call Accelerating vol/placebo. Equally as powerful...just trying to get myself used to it. Great for adding to already #winning () positions. I've seen it work...maybe 40-50 pips in to a position. Consolidation...then off it goes. Cool stuff.

Yes, me too, this is my bread and butter. I prefer to take these with the intermediate trend but same idea. You can get your stop to BE relatively quickly with these, if you chose the level right.
Is gold, brother!

Hate to say it, but simple, too! Then its down to order management. Am I taking partials out? Am I adding positions if its looking like a top/bottom.

Yes, lots! Cheers brother
You bastard!

I was trying to be good...but that's two of you in a row hitting it. Why fight the trend, right? Cracking.

Cheers mate...digging having you around!

Hey Venice, if you're gonna start looking at volume, start with these two concepts, they're all you really need if you can separate the quality SD from the bunk:

1) climactic volume (shows professional side is active), look for this into SD levels

2) no demand/no supply bars. If you missed the engulfing and didn't enter on limit these can give you golden second chance entries. The thing I love about these bars (when in the appropriate context) is the complete absence of drawdown

Edit: BTW I just use the volume from MT4 no need for any...
Cool, thanks! Will take a peak at this! Anything to increase the edge even more is a +9tybillion in my book.

Nice post, brother!

I've never studied anything on it at all. Just threw it on and watched. Definitely going to be looking out for BOTH point #2's above.

Good stuff!

I'll let you off the hook on the Bud because of the quality posted! But, I'm confused...

Is it wrong to want the one wearing the trousers?

I really like this thread, I feel much less restricted to post what the fuck I want.

Here is an example of EU today, demonstrating what I meant in my previous post.

A) Climactic volume into demand
B) No supply (small down bar, vol<prev 2)
C) No draw down

I look for M15 climactic volume then M5 no demand/supply, this isn't a trade I took as I was at work, just an illustration of what I was talking about earlier.

Here's a trade from just now.

The first chart shows climactic volume followed by a no demand bar. The climactic volume was selling above a weak ass demand level, when price arrived at the level there was not any demand, which was illustrated by a "no demand" bar (small up bar w volume<prev 2, following climactic volume--selling volume)

Next the bastard took me at BE before dropping like a rock

Edit: Yep there's a pin after my no demand that has "higher" volume, but it wasn't climactic. The way the spike happened it just looked like it was clearing any remaining buy orders to make way for the drop. This kind of trade isn't as draw down free as you would be participating in the absorption of demand as opposed to jumping in with the demand at a demand level

Perfect...the exact tone of the thread!

It had to be something different...or else what was the point of starting one? There are plenty of great threads around that are...all business, all the time. Love them. This one is a little looser...but plenty of gold about!

Post a few gems like that...and by all means...post whatever the fak you want!
