image Okay, this isn't it, but I love this setup. Whether trading or gaming, this is on point. That's a bit of overkill for me. I'm sure it looked dope AF though. image

Just a quick note to my fellow VSAers: I'm writing this on my Macbook because my PC just went caput. I've ordered a new lightning fast trading computer, but it will not be delivered until Mid to Late November. So if you're planning on buying a ...

image The reason I like using HVZs is that they are easy to draw. There's none of the subjectivity associated with drawing channels (at least from my. point of view). I don't know when you drew the channel, but the Sqt as price breaks out of the ...

Sounds like good advice regardless of the time frame.

Nice pick-up. This is one of the most frustrating things I see him do. He has a set of rules, then breaks them and thinks that's okay. Good traders have a set of rules and they follow them. Newbie traders create rules and then disregard them, then ...

Slow down my friend. I know you're only trying to help, but the question was "what are these [Tradeguider] indicators based on"? The top indicator is the "medium term" trend indicator. I am not sure what it is based on or how it is calculated. The ...

I don't like switching time frames. I would like to use the H1 time frame to find the HVZ and trade from the M15. Meaning the M15 is the chart from which my entries would be taken. In this case, I decided to go down to the M1 and look for the entry. ...

Putting aside the fact that today is a Holiday in the U.S., I like this trade. Actually, let me be clear; if you followed all your rules, this is a good trade regardless of the outcome. My chart is a little different. Not right or better, just ...

I wrote this post earlier, but something happened and it got lost. I've calmed down now, and will try again. It's great to see all the energy in this thread at the moment. There are a lot of great posts from a lot of different points of view. All ...

You must be doing a quick scan through the thread, because there is plenty of discussion on trends. Telling someone that they should not go long when price is below the Moving Average, is a discussion of trend. Or stating the short trades should ...

Interesting. I like how you have "owned" the Zone concept in a way that suits you. Personally, I start from the premise that the bar, regardless of range, with the highest volume should be FIBbed. This is despite the fact that the wider the range of ...

Interesting. I will only have two Zones on my chart at a time: Yesterday's HVZ (YHVZ) and in certain cases Today's HVZ (THVZ). And I would only use Today's HVZ when price is a significant distance away from YHVZ. I think the more Zones on the chart, ...

On my chart, the first two are true Pres78 2BRs. The entry signal, however, is not. But it is still a pretty obvious reversal with the first bar No Supply and the second bar a SQT. image I have a question for Pres78 or anybody else who wants to ...

I still have yet to read them, so I can't recommend them at this point.

I believe you are referring to Philip Friston. He, along with Tom Williams, wrote the dialog boxes that detail the Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) signs of strength and weakness. He has also written a couple of books on VSA.

Keep it up. You will get this. You, me, and everyone here are all learning. Stay strong and believe. I have to start out with a very important caveat. Price is below HB (based on yesterday's HVZ (YHVZ)). That means NO LONGS SHOULD be taken. With ...

Your recent post, this whole thread really, bespeaks of the conundrum faced by most new and struggling traders who find Volume Spread Analysis (VSA): On the one hand, they're attracted to VSA because of the perception that it "catches tops and ...

Some might find this recent TG video helpful: video P.S. I totally called this. LOL Okay, I did not know about VSA lite, but as soon as Gavin mentioned something new was coming, I said to myself TG for TradingView.

Still in this one: image I'm really not a fan of multiple time frame analysis, but it does certainly help to pay attention to the H1 trend. I'm a convert. Got in late here (UT at HB is the obvious first entry) and got out too early. image

You showed the M30. Here's the M15. image This begs the question: is it better to switch time frames or to just stick with one? The entry on M30 is nice, but the entry on M15 more closely follows the Ideal setup. Price breaks the low (YHVZ (L)) ...
