The Smart VSA Stand Alone version is coming along nicely. Here is an example of one bar type available for the VSA purists.

The screenshot also shows a custom feed using EOD data for the DJIA and our new Smart Volume indicator (which will likely be available in the current version's next update as well)

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend (I know it's Tuesday but I just got back from a long holiday weekend) and I will see you in the chat.

Hello everyone!i am very new to VSA,can you help me with this?

regarding the divergences-is it a potential short?what we need to wait for ?
If i'm seeing it well you are using a Hourly chart. I'm new to VSA and Forex but from my point of view you have to see the big picture(watch Daily and Weekly Chart) but on that graph i wouldn't risk to take a trade.

For now i'm just using the Daily and Weekly charts to trade VSA since i'm new and it is much smoother

I won't go into all the details why but the hourly is one of the better time frames for VSA. One standout reason is it offers a nice balance between signals/trades vs time. The signals are very accurate and easy to read and you don't have to wait days for a trade.

I'm glad to hear that. Since I'm a newbie in Forex I won't risk it for now because for what I could see up untill now I think that it's much more difficult to trade in Hourly timeframes but that's my point of view as a newbie.

Who knows when I start to get more confident, experienced and tested that I'm doing the right thing with proven results I can start trading lower timeframes

Thanks for your advice again Shamus

Here's another screenshot of the forthcoming stand alone version of Smart. This is just the basic ui stuff. A lot of work still needs doing and I will start leaking details of some of the more advanced features in the chat and FB and G+ groups shortly.

Enjoy and see you in the chat.

Volume is typically relative on most ECN brokers. By this I mean that a no demand on Broker A is typically a no demand on Broker B as well... even if the actual volume numbers are different between them.

I hope this helps.

I don't think so but remember BV is not VSA. It has some similarities but that's about it.

To the untrained eye it doesn't look much different but I assure you... it is.

I'm wondering if anyone could explain to me why testing works? Here is my confusion - we have a strong down move ending in a selling climax. Price is knocked sideways while the smart money accumulates. They keep marking prices down to see if supply has been taken out of the market because they don't want to have to absorb selling as prices rise.

Why does testing test for supply? Wouldn't sell orders be triggered on the way up? How does marking prices down test for supply? Wouldn't marking prices down trigger buy orders? Sorry for the newbie question.

One more question - why is everyone here using candle charts instead of basic HLC? I don't see how messing with the open is an advantage when using VSA but I'm sure there must be a sound reason.
