Yes Mal can you explain further your thinking here on this candle. It is a bit confusing to me. We do see a down candle on climatic volume with the next candle up. But that next candle is up on volume less than the previous two candles. In addition ...

Absolutely beautiful chart of so many VSA principles. The best entry on this chart is not the entry that Gavin, or Mal, or myself would take. It is one Tom or Intel would.... Take a look at the chart below. A. We see an increasing range candle on ...

My two cents on this one. Before we look at the chart, I will skip ahead to the concept. There are two types of entries. The VSA non-aided entry and the VSA aided entry. Aided vs. Non aided refers to something beyond just price action. More exactly ...

Is this a trick question . If it is a pure test then I like low volume (less than the previous two). But a test on increasing volume that has a small range like NR4 is still good. Especially if it is a selling bar/candle. Which means it is making ...

Follow up — Just a follow up to the previous post. The volume on the KRB in this case is less than the previous two candles and less than average. In VSA terms it is a Hidden Test. Again note the action is around the Dynamic Balance Point ...

I once was a big advocate of WRB analysis for determining the most accurate market derived support and resistance levels. They work very well. I noticed that I missed a lot of good set ups and focusing on whether or not a particular candle was a key ...

vsa with Malcolm

No. It would mean that the large WRB had selling if the next candle also closed equal or greater. However it would not be a bull signal. A bull signal would come when the trend changes and the volume on down candles dries up. Based on the chart ...

I knew as soon as I wrote that, I would get called on it. LOL I would rather see No Demand- up bars/candles on a narrow range with volume less than the previous two bars/candles. But some traders are okay with No Buying Pressure type bars/candles-up ...

LOL. As you know, I do like to look at a TG chart every now and then. But I attend every webinar possible because I love just hearing and thinking about VSA. I was moving more into the TG camp, but now am not sure with the addition of Rob's work. ...

vsa with Malcolm

Well, he did take a quick short after a No Demand bar following the supply bar. This, however, is a counter trend trade. The diamonds remained green and the bars remained blue. These two things define the trend as up and thus a trend trader should ...

vsa with Malcolm

Noticed he didn't put the order above the high of the No Supply bar but rather the close of the Supply bar.

Anybody in the live VSA club webinar right now?

vsa with Malcolm

Yes. Yes I go stopped out. Being early is the same thing as being wrong. London did offer some nice signs of strength. 0220 hrs was stopping volume and 0240 hrs was a shake out. I really don't like to enter a position before 0100 hrs (EST). I think ...

Risky? — Tough market right now. What do you guys and gals think about this entry (Euro/USD 5 min)?

vsa with Malcolm

No Result from a Test — As Gavin would say, "the market is governed by laws". One of those laws is The Law of Effort vs. Result. Testing is by far the most important of the low volume BUY signals. Despite that, or rather, because of that, ...

vsa with Malcolm

EFFORT vs RESULT — BINGO EFFORT to Rise is strength, if there is RESULT. That is rising prices. EFFORT to Rise is weakness, if there is no RESULT. That is, prices fall or move sideways.

Thanks for the chart.

vsa with Malcolm

Actually, the range on that particular squat is less than the previous 3 candles. Thus it is a NR4. Like volume, we use RELATIVE comparisons with range. And doji is a Japanese candlestick term that means open is equal to the close. While it is true ...

Mal; welcome back (if you are). Hope you enjoyed your holiday. I would love to see a daily TG chart of the emini please.

vsa with Malcolm

Sure. It is a bit confusing at first, so you are not alone in not understanding. Tom says we should enter (short) on UP bars/candles and enter (long) on DOWN candles. Rather than actually entering on the close of the bar/candle we use this ...
