Thanks for the question. This is a very advanced question, and I do not think we can look to VSA for the answer. Many people using VSA will look to multiple timeframes to assist in trade entry signals. But as to what you are referring, I am not ...

Trade Using VSA (Volume Spread Analysis)

From a strictly VSA point of view, the answer is yes. Tests fail for two reasons: 1. volume is too high (showing supply still present) 2. neither of the next two bars close higher than the close of the test candle. Markets, however, can go up on a ...

Beautiful trade. "The downfall of most traders is to believe that the purpose of trading is to predict the future; rather than to identify trade set-ups within the context of their trading methodology." News trading is a bit of a fool's game for the ...

I must have missed the meeting where the community decreed that YOU must use VSA. I don't think anyone here would assert that VSA is the only way to make money in the markets. VSA is not the holy grail. There is no holy grail. In part because ...

If you believe that volume can not be real because it is only your brokers and not the overall market, then why do believe their price?

First, let me say that following everything malcolmb says and does is a sure way to prosper with VSA and in the market in general. What this post is about, will not net you those 200+ pips that malcolmb garnered on Monday. (I officially have my ...

We had a test, followed by a squat and then a no supply all in our supply/demand delta zone. Looks like we go higher.

Don't know, but we did just push thru supply. Two candles later there is a down bar on volume less than the previous two candles. The expansion body tells us that a new key change in the supply/demand dynamic may have taken place.

Volume Spread Analysis is a methodology, it is not an indoctrination into some cookie cutter approach to the markets. Individual personalities and trading styles differ with respect to how VSA is used. Some traders are happy to hit singles and ...

I think you are both right. The first high volume candle pointed out by malcolmb shows some supply entering. However the market responds by moving sideways. This shows residual demand (strength) in the market. The same can be said for the candle ...

Yes absolutely that is stopping volume. We have a narrow ( narrower than the previous candle) on increasing and ultra high volume closing making a lower low and closing up and near its high. While the dark expansion body closes on its low, the next ...

Anatomy of a trade set up — This trade was made live in chat. First we note the wide spread down candle. Although it closed on its lows, the next candle is up. Some demand (buying) entered on this candle. Volume is down from the previous bar, ...

First a couple of thoughts: 1. You are going to be a very good trader. I like how you have taken responsibility for your trades and are not blaming VSA. Many newbies would be cursing VSA and off again on the search for the non-existent holy grail. I ...

Don't sweat it. The market will be here tomorrow. There will always be moves that are missed. A word of caution: My prior post was not so much about a pattern as an understanding of supply and demand principles. We saw three consecutive down candles ...

I have to disagree here. Volume is a measure of activity and as such tic volume works as a good substitute to actual volume. Esignal offers tic volume which is aggregated over many different sources. Many brokers offer tic volume as well. Whist some ...
