DislikedIntel if you're still around I have a quick question - or if anyone else knows the answer then please feel free to put me out of my misery.
I keep seeing mention of a confirming bar after an upthrust and am totally fine with this. What I'd like to know is where this idea of a confirming bar came from. I've read and seen pretty much every resource I can find on VSA over the last 6 months but can't see mention of this anywhere by Tom, Seb, Todd, Gavin or any of the other VSA experts.
Thanks in advanceIgnored
HG has hit the spot as always. The confirmation is exactly that, it confirms the strength/weakness which you have seen previously. You should think of confirmation as a concept and not a specific bar.
You have seen us talking about confirmation bars in setups. You will have to decide what you personally want to see in order to confirm the SOS/SOW your seeing. You should start by using the same as we discuss here and decide if that suits your needs. Then, as you become more experienced in VSA, you will adapt as required.
