Any of you guys interested in opening up a trading room during London/NY hours to discuss setups in realtime? Could be on Skype or elsewhere.

The new, simpler VSA. They've added P&F charts Liam. You're being watched. Also of note, they are incorporating tick volume even on instruments where actual volume is available. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po4Q-Hptr4w {image}
Only had a quick look but it looks like he's using the P&F charts through Sierra Chart. Which is funny really, cos Sierra don't implement them properly! I wonder if anyone at TG has noticed. I'm using Sierra Chart too, but it's a custom study that I had made along with another trader.

Is anyone interested in this pair?

I was waiting for price to break out of that yellow zone & it did, was there an entry that I missed here?

Thanks.

I love EURAUD, nice clean moves and great ADR.

Threw a few random thoughts on your chart. Just a few quick observations only considering what I see on YOUR 4hr chart.

on your chart supply absorbed bar if i see this with next bar down to me it looks weak like lots of supply and market will fall more heavily but it did not..
how we can differ between high volume upbars in downtrend are weak or absorbing the supply..
they should be touching or going into previous supply area ? i mean at which point you confirmed it was absorption.. after 2BR on down or after breakout of its high.
thanks in advance.

EURAUD yet again... see where the move up stopped. The red zone is a 4hr UHV zone from Feb 20th of this year. Note how the low is right around the BRN 4400. The yellow line is the low of the highest volume 1hr bar within that 4hr zone. Notice how that was the ultimate stopping point.

Volume at volume my Friends. VZA/VSA still works. VZA gives the where, VSA the entry.

learned about a new trend reversal/continuation technique a few days back, many of you might be knowing of it already. The guy who showed this technique calls it the "Clear Method", whatever but I'm sharing this here coz I found this lil method useful for added confirmation.

Bar A has the last highest low, the high of bar B is distinctly below the last highest low (i.e low of bar A), so bar B is signalling a change in trend here.

I've asked this before but I really need it clearing up please.

Just watching a Pete Fader video and he said "Wide spread up bar on low volume, low volume means a lack of sellers, so price moves up easily" - this makes perfect sense to me. Effort vs Results. There's not much selling so price moves up easily - low volume, widespread up = bullish.

But I keep hearing time and time again that low volume, widespread up = bearish because it means a lack of buying? How can it be a lack of buying? If price has moved up, surely there is buying, that's self evident. So the low volume is a lack of selling. That's why it's moved so far on low volume because there is so little resistance?

Ahhhh! Help! Seriously, please! >.<

Forums are for learning not for trade calls for all those too lazy to learn for themselves to steal. That said I have posted live trades in the past on this forum but it is tiring and distracting from ones trading. Rather than criticism how about you step up and post your live trades?

About vsa, i don't know use vsa or not.. Volume is lagging indicator, and for me i didn't find the way to use it on intraday. Too big stops. Maybe i'm too stupid to whole vsa chart reading.

I think yes, because you see what happened on closed bar/ candle.. And on spot there is no real volume. Different broker = different volume..

The VSA perspective goes a little like this:

Volume is activity.
Professionals (Smart Money) make up 85-90% of the recorded volume.
Therefore, when volume is decreasing professional activity must also be decreasing. And prices cannot go up (or down) very far without the Smart Money being actively involved.
Without VSA, you're playing checkers while the Smart Money plays chess.

Oh I see you want an indicator that will show you what hasn't happened yet. You want it to show you what will happen on the next bar before it opens and closes. Makes sense.

Yes we all know, join the club of those who like to point out the obvious. Volume in forex is not "real" instead it is called tick volume which shows... well I certainly don't need to tell you. That's why you need to find a broker with deep liquidity pool... I have compared charts from brokers with good pools of liquidity to paid for data feeds and even to futures charts and guess what... they are close enough to trade VSA on FX using an FX broker.

UHV is UHV which = activity whether measured in ticks or order volumes... trade the reactions to the activity.

It always intrigues me that traders who don't trade using the methods or system of the forum subject always feel the need to drop in and waste everyone's time including their own.

You can't and don't trade using VSA so please find a thread more fitting for your trading needs.

Effort can be looked at as simply increased or UHV volume. The result is what happens after the UHV. Take for example "stopping volume" after a downtrend. We see huge increases in effort "activity" showing that SM are becoming active. What we don't know after that bar closes is what side were they (SM) on. We could be seeing two things;

  1. SM buyers stepping in (future result = higher prices)
  2. SM sellers absorbing demand (future result = lower prices)

Absorption is when the SM are willing to put in the effort to remove / absorb all opposing orders clearing the path for higher or lower prices.

As will anything these actions are not instant. After we see volume climaxes (increased effort) there will normally be a period of accumulation or distribution after for the SM to fully build their positions.
