Welcome to the party. We're all here trying to improve. Post pics and ask questions.

Today was one of those days. If you trade for any length of time, you will have them. While learning from losses is a worthwhile goal, if not a necessity, the ultimate goal is learning to mitigate loss (capital preservation) so you can trade another ...

Just a few charts to share. I'm feeling lazy so I won't say much. If anybody wants to discuss a particular interval just refer to the chart and the interval label (or relation to an interval). See below for an example. Chart A: image I took this ...

Think of it this way: (1) Your posts are so good that they raise the bar. (2) People are studying and learning from your posts, which will result in an explosion of posts once the information has been adopted and internalized. (3) Your words and ...

While I would agree that Price Action (PA) formations (along with VOLUME) in or on the Zone is key, Supply & Demand Zones are not the same thing as Support/Resistance levels. image

Price Will Tell - Supply/Demand Price Action Trading

Thank you for your kind words. I draw my Supply/Demand Delta Zones based on Wide Range Body (WRB) Analysis. WRB Analysis is distinct from VSA and enables a trader to understand the price action prior to any trade signal. With that said, using the ...

I don't ever mind a question. That's what this thread is all about: traders helping traders. We're all teachers and we are all students. Generally speaking, I would want to see a NS/Test interval within the range of the Climatic Action interval AND ...

When elephants walk across your lawn, they leave footprints. When the Smart Money enters the market aggressively, they leave footprints in the form of Ultra High to Climatic Volume. image image image Accordingly, most traders who want to ...

In another example of the ineptitude of the mods, this thread has been moved to "Commercial Content". If they didn't want the robust discussion to continue, they might as well have relegated the thread to the trash heap. WTF?

Sam Seiden Goes DOWN

First of all, it does not have you focused on the high volume UP bar. It has you focused on the high volume bar. Secondly, I would argue that 99.9% of traders are better off starting with a Climatic Volume bar. These bars are the most obvious and ...

This is in response to a DM I received. I can't add a picture to a DM, so I'm making this post. image The Relative Volume indicator is from Tradeguider. However, the color scheme is not. You can replicate the background with a Bollinger Bands. You ...

That's exactly what Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) is all about. I know most people don't like bar by bar analysis, mainly because it can be difficult. And I know people don't like hindsight analysis, but if it is here now, it was there then. So let's ...

Infinity Futures BTW I think I would call that area circled on your chart a Two Bar Reversal. The first interval closes on the low on increasing volume and the second interval closes on its high while closing above the high of the first interval. ...

This so weird, I was going to post this document yesterday PRIOR to your and Cyberforex's posts. Well, since Danku stole my thunder , just a chart dump/thread bump. image

You're absolutely correct. This is why it is possible for one trader to be Long the EUR/USD on an H1 chart and be making money, while simultaneously another trader is Short the EUR/USD on a 5M chart and making money. As stated above, the issue is ...

Diversify by trading the same pair but on different timeframes

Gavin has mentioned this in numerous webinars. It is also mentioned in some of the Tradeguider literature. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was mentioned in his books.

The code used to recognize SOW 14 is slightly different than the code used to recognize SOW 21.

vsa with Malcolm

One of the hardest things to learn in trading: Just because a system loses 1 trade, or 2 trades, or even 10 trades in a row, that does not mean it doesn't work. Just because a system loses more trades than it wins, that does not mean the system ...

Successful traders are very, very rare to find

Dr. Gary Dayton is the man. He is one of the best chart readers in the world.
