perhaps a bit of a sell off in Asia?

Posted this on the Euro Yen thread..

Just a trade.. We will see how it goes.

Huge volume came in late in yesterdays US session, which knocked price side ways, then a massive shake out which rejected lowered prices. Now as price pushed back down into weekly support it did so with realtively low volume. Possible exit at 129.10, depends on PA, other wise I would really like to see monthly resistance 130.60 tested but that is a bit of a long shot.

Got in on a Swissy short yesterday. Really nice entry. If only they were this crystal clear every day!

Price fell below the 50% of a late March zone and then printed a ND reversal into this 50% which was followed by a triple bottom short. As we were close to the downside target from the high I set my target for here instead of the usual 1:1. Booked 90pips as it went straight down.

A reversal just printed on the right edge so i'd be looking at a return to 0.9310 for a potential long entry off the high of the blue zone. Perhaps back up to the low of the yellow zone.

I know my posts aren't strictly VSA but i've nowhere else to post

Thought i'd post this as well, I didn't take this trade as I was looking at the Swissy entry. Basically the opposite, instead the entry is an ascending triple top instead of a flat triple top.

Sorry about that..

This is more of a personal preference on my part, but I like the low of my test bar to dip below the previous bar. There are a lot of successful VSA traders who do not use this, like I said I personal preference. So the two bars I would not consider a test.

But the biggest thing with test is you want it to actually test "something". Usually something is previous supply area, other times this could just be a major previous support zone.

The bar I marked it dipped below the low of the previous bar and it tested a previous supply area showing us that there are no remaining sellers present. This test proved that the previous day was bullish (remember the 1h chart I posted with the high volume on the lows).

Was chatting in skype with Kinsale before NFP. The USD index showed SM hand nicely today.

Big volume from yesterday with potential buyers and you see prior to the news how Asia and London session respected the close of the potential buyers.

No trades been off my game this week and I don't trade NFP, just sit back and watch the fireworks.

My chart is for the Dow Jones US dollar index. The chart you are referring to is the USD futures. FXCM has the Dow Jones US dollar index, you will have to create a demo account in MT4 and select the country as UK, you will find the chart under CFD.

Quick follow up chart. Price did as I thought it would but NFP was the catalyst. Don't like to enter trades during the NFP madness so didn't get in on it.

Lets first take a look at EU weekly, on the first week of April we have a 2 bar reversal which resulted in price moving up 100 pips or so. Now towards the end of May we came back down to that level and found another 2 bar reversal, which caused the last two weeks to be bullish.

Now lets zoom into a 1h, the first thing that pops out is that massive UT, also notice the spread of the previous 4 bars of the UT compared to the rest of the chart, the spreads are massive as well. That is a big sign showing us that a distribution phase is going on. The bar I marked in red, big volume narrow spread, potential buyers here which we have weekly resistance above us at 1.3333, mixed with big news of the German court ruling probably will be an excuse to hike price up to 1.3333, watch for SOW up there.

Weekly seems very bullish, so I am thinking the downside is limited.. maybe 3020 or stretch of 2930. Just my humble opinion.

Hi guys,

I always thought that one cannot see the true volume in the FX market because it is not centralized. How do you trade with volume in FX? Do you use a certain broker or correlations with the equity market?

Thanks

I don't predict markets.

Here's my daily Euro chart. We had some supply enter on Thursday. Friday was a narrow range interval on very high volume. This is a squat. A Squat would imply that the market is being capped to the downside. Today would be a natural day to see a Test/No Supply tpye bar.

Note that the trend is UP. The bars a blue. The BPL is green and price is above it. Chart mode is green. And we can see that the market after making a lower high pivot, has made a higher low pivot. And price has traded above the recent lower pivot high. If price is making higher highs and lower lows, the trend must be up.

This is someting I've been trying to understand also. Does anyone know if there any way to get reliable wholistic volume data on FX pairs?
