Trade Using VSA (Volume Spread Analysis)

Gez you should join the FB group I rarely pop in here anymore as most of us have moved over there. In any case I came here to say Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends and clients in the USA.

CAC chart coming up in a few moments.

Our EOM concept which is hard to show in action using a screenshot is where Smart Volume Analysis shines. Here are charts for both the daily and hourly on CAC40. Broker is FXPro which we find is the best in terms of reliable signals and markets available for charting. We also recommend FXCM as well so no problems there.

Hourly: http://screencast.com/t/jKVT3r3uJ (Neutral BG on last)
Daily: http://screencast.com/t/DZ1yQs21bw9 (Opposing BG on Last)

Check out the blog to see how the various elements work together to give 90%+ accuracy on most charts.

Blog: http://blog.pipbuilders.com (facebook group and more resources are linked from here as well.)

Let me know via a ticket (not here as I rarely check in) if you have any questions.

Thanks shamus, i`m not on FB at the moment but i`ll sort that out and join you over there for more info on smart.

Someone requested testimonials in the support area and I figured I would post them up here as well. This is a rough collection of comments and messages posted to our various resource groups. Most of these comments were posted for v2.0 (we are nearly ready to launch v3.0 now) Not too much has changed though if anything it's better now thanks to optimizations and more culling of the shitty standard VSA nonsense which just doesn't work.

I hope you all had a great new year... Back to work.


Testimonials:

PS - Thanks to SMART just made back a loss on GBP/USD H1 with ETF followed by PUT - W. (Commenting on first trade using SMART)

I bought the TradeGuider MT4 plugin and compared with your SMART and there is no comparison... the TG stuff is shite. - Jim

By the way the 240 euro cost of your software is the best money I've spent to date on trading, you have an excellent product and setup, I was a TradeGuider user up till this!!!
- C.

166 win 22 loss with SMART - K.

Agreed. It paid for itself today... the first day I've used it. - P.T.

It’s working very well for me... helping me learn VSA. I recommend it highly over the other brands. - MF

SMART paid for itself in the first few trades. - SP

“There is a saying in my country
IF YOU CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY IT, PAWN YOUR WIFE AND GET 30000 YEN.
This reduces my phycological (sic) stress extremely and makes my decision smoothly.
This shows me details of bg which I never noticed as others already said.” - JK

All loaded up and working fine after the purchase. It is so much clearer and better than Tradeguider. - Chris N.

I closed the trade at +21 Pips. I wasn't expecting a huge profit off it, but still damn good money for 1hr of work. LoL!! I Love SMART! - DG (comment made in FB group in regards to a smart selling signal on the Euro)

Testimonials Regarding 2.0

Laurentiu S.
‎1st Absorption Volume signal, hitting full EOM. what a beauty

Julia Clara.
In all trades today the safe EOM was hit, the full EOM was hit in almost all - just two that maybe because the spread it wouldn't have the full target.

H. J. 120 pips for today on eu, au, and uj. (Comment was Posted in the Facebook Group)

Adam W.
preliminary, limited live forward testing of the EoM module has proven to be uncannily accurate.

Travis G.
First trade with SMART 2.0. I love it!! (Screenshot was posted)

Jean@All: I did 13 trades today H1 and H4, 11 win, 2 loose because of me (the only ones on DZ) ... You guys just made a wonderful tool (From the live room) First time using Version 2.0

Julia Clara: hey, just to update about yesterday I finished the day with 70.6 pips, ... not bad for a Friday. (Real trades mentioned in Facebook Group)

Julia Clara: I continued doing my tests on gbp/usd .. for June 2012 so far my total pips is 358.2 pips, I still have to do two more tests to add more pips on this total. From all trades it had lost 2 of them, but weren't big ones, basically just spread. very happy !!!! (Results of Visual Backtesting using Smart Zones, VBS, and EOM all new in 2.0) Posted in Facebook Group

Chris G. - A weekend spent looking at SMART for the first time... WOW!!!! I just flushed TG down the toilet. (Comment and Screenshot was Posted in the Facebook Group)

Danny G:
I think I'm actually getting the hang of this VBS and EOM thing. These were my Live trades for today. I'm done for the day @ +50 Pips, Boo YaaH Bitches!!! loL (Comment and Screenshot was Posted in the Facebook Group)


mikep@All: works for me. 10 straight winners and 15 out 17 overall using 2.0. Great stuff!!! (Comment was Posted in the Live Chat)

Laurentiu S.
OK, so not only that the safe EOM's are touched like crazy on almost every signal, but now the signals alone look better altogether, even w/o the addition of the VBS. I remember Jim saying something about tweaking every Smart signal. Now I can clearly see what did he mean about that. Kudos, lads! (Comment was Posted to the Facebook Group)


Ernesto P.
Ok, I set this account for trading SMART. This is not even trading part time, actually less than that. Almost 25% up this month. Smart works: weeeeeeee (Comment was Posted to the Facebook Group as was a link to a live account statement “https://www.ibfxconnect.com/profile/...count/B/stats”)





Laurent@All: why is Smart working so well?
Samico@All: hehehehe

I just want to say that I spent this whole week Taking D1 and 4hr Only Trades, using SMART Signals combined with Price Action; Proper Volume; and Supply and Demand Zones, and I've never seen so much accuracy.

WEEKLY TOTAL: +235 Pips (all due to Safe EOM, I didn't Get to Trail One Trade--Imagine If I did).

Marc Ilgen: Today is my birthday and I'd like to thank Smart for giving me 109 pips as a birthday present.
(Comment as Posted to the Facebook Group)

DG:
To wrap up the week for me. I wanna say, D1 SMART Trades Freaking Rule. I missed out on 2 days because of personal stuff, but when I backtested for those days and I looked at trades that I def would've taken and the way I would've managed them, I would've made an extra +230 Pips for the week. But I end my week with +120 Pips.

I'm not greedy, my goal was 100+ Pips per week, and now I can honestly say that I can make at least 200 - 300 pips so far. I just want to say to those non-believers, that the D1 Trades' accuracy is sick. Stick with Jim's rules and you'll be alright. Stop panicking when the trade goes against you. Good Luck to all.

NZDJPY: No Trade
GBPJPY: No Trade (Avoid like the plague always)
GBPAUD: No Trade (MHTC Long)
EURAUD: No Trade
