The Volume Detective

A unfinished study of zones and volume, I want to see if it's even legible on here.
3m

The N.Y. session. Both of these are just a fraction of what I could show and write, no time or chart space. Just a very basic overview of the day. I deleted some stuff on London session to make room.
3m

News afterward, still stayed below London supply zone.
3m

Maybe this was the end of the downward prices for now, anything can happen, I'm still bearish.

I don't really care about prediction one shit, but here is an interesting zone on 12h, that's been touched 5 times now. More inclined towards lower prices for now.
12h

Here is the only thing that's rather bullish for me, gap closed from last uptrend. There is still unclosed ones below but this zone could hold it's own.
12h

A better 12h chart. Each interval is N.Y. then London/Asia (together), and there is no weekend data. The fat and short pink lines are weekly Vpoc. There is also no real unfilled gaps below this big one either. This last N.Y. session is the last doji-like interval... Also note the wide spread candle on 4/29 creating that gap is ultra high volume (the only UHV interval since 3/18).
12h

hey I'm curious are your zones drawn manually ?

Yes.

Just sat down, only trade today +18. LVT @ UHV WSB bottom, an auto trade basically. Interesting this really HV WSB up, almost encompasses the value area of N.Y. session (it should ping pong here for awhile). I see some people would call this LVT a no supply, it's more of a test to me but it is showing no supply, I prefer NS and ND to really have below average volume.

Interesting thread, nice analysis and nice chart

I'm trading volume too. Lets see

Take profit is very easy and obvious in this kind of situation.

Thanks, hope volume is treating you well, it's the only way to go : )
This thread and my trading will be much better in a few months, I'm still cataloging the varieties of WRB, gaps, and low volume tests etc to make an actual method. It's all discretionary at the moment.

I think it is too

I can see you're doing good, but i'm using it in a different way. I'm not into NS/ND/Selling climax and all. I use it very simply (just strength of volume + candles)

As long as it works, why bother

Keep up the good work

More like ND's here. In the right spot and the right shape. As you can see though, the next down bar volume picks up and some demand is found.
3m

I definitely veer away into my own type of volume analysis than standard VSA, not really into climactic volume analysis (buy/selling climax) but heavily into all the variety of tests and analyzing volume as it enters and interacts with zones. Also very much interested in volume and candle patterns.
Very true, whatever works for you is the way to go.

News interval interaction with prev WSB, I was long at N.Y. open and had TP right there, lucky it hit it before plummeting.
3m (N.Y. open is labeled, not No Supply)

Price contraction in a zone alley, leads to volatility. I've never studied triangles and wedges etc, but I'm assuming this is what they are really governed by, the reason chart geometry works. The demand zone has now shown resistance and UHV wick zone, support and potential demand. The prev demand zone also is probably just gone and resistance is being governed by UHV body of wick candle which has formed a hidden gap.
3m

And what do we have here... lower prices. Don't listen to anybody but yourself and the chart about predictions and long term price projections, especially the e/u thread. Gap = filled.
12h

Here is one way I pick out tests and such better, I reverse the chart so that it's a rising market. For some reason it's easier for my brain to comprehend a rising market (it used to be the opposite, before I used tests that much), so I just reverse the chart if its actually a downtrend sometimes, like so:
3m(reverse),3m(regular)

Also, note the other newer LVT that is confirmed (only marked in the regular chart). Look at the result of this one vs. the previous one... newer one is much weaker, previous one had a WRB as a result. Someone has tried to convince me that you can't just reverse a chart because markets fall faster than they rise or something on those lines. I don't buy that in the FX market.
Edit: The interval I'm using to get the 0 tick HG is not a technical WSB. It was a HV interval after a bigger drop (WRB) on low volume with a high volume reaction down, at the 0 tick gap zone I look for on WSB that has no gap and H+ volume. It's not all science here, there is intuition, the subconscious, and art involved, in short, discretion.
Edit:
3m(reverse) update, about time to TP, nothing to write home about but easy ticks. I also just realized a lot of VSA traders would expect that LVT to be a NS(on the non reverse chart). Obvious if you take BG into account it will very rarely be a NS right in that spot, and once again the shape is wrong.

The 12h now..

Spent most of the weekend backtesting. Here is a scenario that keeps coming up and I repeatedly ignore it. In a long or short trade and a failed test happens against my trade with background on it's side. Long @ 1m lvt>bh.
