just went long 3710. vol coming in on 5min, small doji bar at the bottom there just after the big down bar, with volume far higher than its size and was on support so likely buying. next bar up so jumped in. went long gu as well just above 6200, ...

capital spreads. most spreads seem good but futures are large (0.7 points on es futures). platform is very basic, no options to customise anything. execution seems fast, no problems with stops so far, no requotes. only used them just over a month. ...

personally i would class all 4 of those bars as having the same volume, tiny variations in volume like on those bars, from my view are not significant enough, i want to see a proper difference in volume if im going to compare 2 bars, for me the ...

vsa with Malcolm

are you sure? the 4 bars in that box are all fairly high volume, id take the 3rd bar which closed well off its lows a maybe a test but again vol was not low on any of those. doesnt ns have to be low vol? looks like there is some supply right here ...

vsa with Malcolm

yes hopefully i am starting to read and understand the volume better but way too early to tell. i cant count the number of times i thought i had turned the corner (after trying one thing after another) to finally be able to 'do it' only for it all ...

apart from a gu long i had second week of jan which scuba boy called, this will be my best trade of year so far. yes thats how bad i am usually haha. another 10 or so of these and ill be back to break even.....for this year at least

vsa with Malcolm

its a spread bet account so no lots just value per pip. i can close however much i want. buyers around this 3640 though so ive just moved up stop to 3632 and locked in nice even 100 pips. if it gets back to 3700 i might just tp on all of it.

vsa with Malcolm

well i managed to go long at 3535 this morning, saw some buyers coming in on 5min and managed to grab it off the little double bottom on what looked like more buyers (plenty of volume/effort but failed to go down), still sitting on this and trying ...

daaaaaaaamnit. i looked at oil this morning at london open, it was already up 175 pips, average daily is 227. i thought it might be a big day due to mid east stuff so went and checked what other big days have been recently for possible targets and ...

vsa with Malcolm

it looks like there is demand now at 3665 which seems to have been s/r all day. so hopefully that will hold the line now for move past 3700 in asia

vsa with Malcolm

i bet i get taken out at 3650. if i do im gonna scream and break something

vsa with Malcolm

saw volume coming in on 5min on 2 bars and failure to drop so had to be the buy orders that were expected between 40-50. 3649 is also the daily pivot and 3645 was a high vol s/r level on friday. just hoping it gets high enough now that asians dont ...

vsa with Malcolm

at long last my opportunity has arrived! went long 3650 planned and executed. going to leave this now hope for break and test of 3750 area, then move up stop to 3740 and hope for 3800......assuming this thing doesnt come back down and take me out.

vsa with Malcolm

oh god im bored, its not doing anything. have to go to meeting in 20 mins, i bet it goes flying as soon as i go.

vsa with Malcolm

yeh it got as low as 3660 on my broco feed, just hoping for at least double bottom there or i may have missed the best entry already. looking at 5min it seems like there was little test and then a ns right at that 3660 bottom but i missed it at the ...

"As aforementioned, talk buy orders clustered 1.3640/50, sell orders 1.3710/20." buy orders 3640-50?? im in shock although they are probably just geppynius and malcs orders im trying to avoid jumping in long, really want it down to at ...

vsa with Malcolm

well ifo was better than expected but its now dropping. looks like they REALLY want to test 3640-50...assuming it gets past 3665. pivot sits at 3649 too, how perfect is that starting to get the feeling its just going to range up and down in this ...

vsa with Malcolm

but ur always doing that be nice if we gap up to 3750 (taking out stops above the 3743 fib and previous r), then during asia head for 3640 area just in time for london open

vsa with Malcolm

if you mean monday down on low vol and rest of week up, 2 of those are big fat up bars

vsa with Malcolm

yeah what i am thinking is m5 will possibly produce smaller swings, but will also get you in a lot earlier for bigger moves than if you waited for 1h to show the same thing. so perhaps get in on m5 in 4h trend direction, and start checking the ...
