In the stand alone you can use multiple feeds paid or free. In the current version it varies depending on your broker.

Hey guys, I'm interested and new to VSA and I'm trying to absorb this huge thread.

I've installed bettervolume and using with Oanda MT4. Anyone tried that?

Are you guys still using IBFX/ FXCM as I've read from the thread.

Also, I'm trading 5 min, can the indicator be useful on small TF as I compared with these 3 brokers and there are some variations.

Hi guys

Very good read although there are 500+ pages

I read somewhere through the posts that FXCM had a good volume feed because they aggregate it from multiple sources. Although I check with them last night and they said no they don't. Is this correct? Is there any other source of reliable volume so I can get started with some practice. I saw IBFX was also mentioned?

Regards, Mat

Hi Mat.

Volume in Forex is relational. What I mean is that if you are using a fairly large broker or ECN broker then typically even though the volume amounts might be different between them the bars are relationally the same.
A no demand bar on one broker is typically a no demand on another broker.
The only times I find this might go awry is during what we call Dead Zones (Lower than average volume/activity periods) but I would say you shouldn't trade during these periods anyway.

That said I like FXPro, their data is excellent and the have a wide range of chartable instruments. IBFX is actually one of the worst in our experience testing multiple brokers over the years and it has been mentioned a number of times in this thread as well.

This will all be rendered mute by the new "Smart Feed" (read about it here: http://goo.gl/995us) feature in our upcoming stand alone product. You can get still get the stand alone version for free (When it's released) by owning the regular version by the 1st of January.
The trend always ends.

Get into the groups. This thread and the chat are very slow this time of year. For the Facebook group just type Facebook in the live chat room and the bot will pop the link for you, from there you can get the link to the other groups.

I can't think of one reason to go with FXCM, least of all volume or liquidity.

Give these guy's demo a spin. The feed should be Citibank. Citibank is one of the top 5 liquidity providers. Liquidity and trading depth is everything; read about it here. IMHO it has the best bar-to-bar differentiation, which is what you want to see for stopping volume and upthrusts. Not to mention, smart money (like hedge funds, mutual funds, etc.) will be prominent users. I do also use FxPro, but solely for the 5pm NY closing - their volume is OK, but Citibank's edges them out, on differentiation and tick count. See for yourself.

Despite all the nay sayer, i started with VSA last days.
Volume is one of the most important things in trading. Bad we dont have the real numbers. Here is what Oanda gives at H1.

The lower indicator is the VSA Multy Volume histogram. Compared them. Seems to be almost identical with the Better Volume Indicator.

Hi,

Try ECN/STP/NDD brokers with multiple datafeeds.
