Buyers stepped in, today could be flat, but next week we should see up move. P.S. even today we cant see 1.4794 Good luck
uuumm, if you seen buying you better flip your monitor upside down, GBP has been getting hammered across the board for a couple of days now well weeks really, 252 pips down or so in the gbpjpy just today, , 600 or better in the gbpaud ,327 down in the last 2 days in the usd gbp,. I cant see where that translates to buying. That's just a good old fashioned whooping ,lol

i'm intraday trader, i'm not chasing weekly monthly moves. For it's enough 20 pips a day. Some days more pips, some days zero.

Not trying to be a jackass but trying to pick a bottom for the last 2 weeks to make 20 or 30 pips , well I guess it makes more sense to me to find an area to sell and make 4 times that, intraday or not. Just saying

I waited for the main support to break for confirmation and went short twice. There isn't any reason for Sterling to be weak, but I don't question these moves anymore. From a technical point of view it resumed it's bearish trend with huge moves. That tiny cat bounce is just normal profit taking.

Does anything really need a reason anymore lol, Pretty good free fall since the failure at resistance, dang near made it back to the quarterly roll, didnt stay there long tho. Ive been hammering it since the failure there. the pink lines are the 272 and 618 fib extensions of January trading range. Been a quick trip across there lol .

Why thanx , he has. You seem to be a vsa guy. Took a 2 week class with supposedly 2 vsa pro s teaching it. Watched the same thing over and over, they lose 50 pips trying to pick a top or bottom to make 20 or 30. Not that you learn it in two weeks but I seen enough , lucky for them the class was only 2 weeks or their accts would have been gone. May work where actual real volume is measured. It will never work for me lol. As I said, if it works for you, great , I don't need it . Not auto lines by the way, I still place them.

only newbies trying to pick tops and bottoms with vsa or no.. Today i took last trade on bottom, but here was more than vsa.. Vsa you should use with trend, not with botom/ top..

You mention 2 weeks, it's impossible to learn VSA in two weeks In two weeks you can read book, but not learn to trade. And old VSA has been changed..

Going back thru your posts today and then looking at price , hope you wasn't using vsa for the levels you mentioned , . Sure it cant be learned in two weeks, once again as I said if it works for you, great . I cant be converted. Lol

One for the road since you like my simple charts and I cant stand to stare at volume bars. Here is the whole down move on the gbpusd on just a simple hourly chart and yes the averages are plotted automatically lol. 853 pips down roughly, 2 up moves big enough to measure on an hourly chart for 249 pips of which I did get a few of them. when something is trending strong my kid could trade this chart and be in the right way and he is only nine. All a day trader had to do was set a few orders even conservatively in the red circles and would not have struggled to hard to make a few sheckles. When something is trending I like to squeeze it for every pip its worth and I did, not measure volume bars and try to decide if it was stopping volume or this volume or that buyers sellers etc etc . You say the old vsa has been changed , why did they change it. They didnt need to change the averages. Here's to everyone having a great weekend
