I'm 100% sure the video was from Gary Fullet. He's a big proponent of Effort Versus Result. He has helped my understanding of this concept a lot. Effort Versus Result: Here is an example of three (3) ways Effort Versus Result can be interpreted. ...

One of the things I like about the VZA technique is that you are not constantly updating the HVZ. But if you did..... As stated many times, one has to trade what one sees. Take a look at the chart below. image Notice that the highest volume candle ...

I have to take the other side on this one, Rick. One of the few, if not only, advantages of trading forex is that you can open an account with as little as $50.00. Most futures brokers require a minimum of $2,000-$5,000. I don't know about ...

Very nice. Please keep these insights coming.

I agree. You don't have to look back that far. [/highlight][/FONT][/COLOR] One of this thread's best traders once said, " Today's Zone equals Tomorrow's Opportunity". You want to trade the M1 chart, I get that. But if you had identified Yesterday's ...

Brillant. Elegantly simple. This also points to the "duality" that plagues many traders attempting to learn Volume Spread Analysis (VSA): While VSA can and often does ferret out "tops and bottoms" (1), for most practitioners of VSA the higher ...

The operative word from that screenshot is potential. Although we tend to talk about Tests as coming on low volume (especially less than the previous two bars), Tests can come on high volume. What we need to see in order to determine whether the ...

Issue 1: get off the m1 chart. Okay, you don't actually have to get off the m1 chart, if you heed the advice that follows. Issue 2: I have tried to show the two entries you took to the short side on my chart. I submit to you that neither ...

The TradeGuider software will identify some No Demand/No Supply bars where the range is increasing, even though the base definition states the range is decreasing (or is narrow). When I see a bar with volume less than the previous two but an ...

While I do believe trend trading is the way to go for most traders, that belief shouldn't stand in the way of your brilliant posts. One of the great aspects of this thread has always been the multitude of ways traders have shared for trading Volume ...

First of all, it doesn't matter. You have to trade what you see. It's a No Demand on my chart but not on yours. That happens. Secondly, low volume bars are not the only possible entry signal bars. It's good to start out looking for low volume No ...

I know you, like a lot of traders, do not want to hear this, but please give this post more than a passing glance. Forget about Volume Spread Analysis (VSA). Okay, not really. That was the "clickbait" headline. VSA or some type of volume analysis ...

RickM made the commit, but the response isn't directed at him specifically. This is one of the largest reasons that people who look at Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) fail. Traders see a widespread DOWN bar on Ultra High volume (tick or actual) and ...

The first chart is without the VSA indicators. The identified bars were therefore identified prior to adding the VSA plug-in. image The second chart is the same time period as the first chart with the VSA plug-in. Not sure what you want to see, ...
