Becuase forex is 24 hours, it is really hard to use Initial Balance and Initial Balance extensions. I start my new day at 1700 (New York time) because that is the close used by a majority of the retail forex brokers. This makes the open pretty ...

Here's a look at last week's profiles. We have two lower POCs in place, one more and I would call the trend down. I would note that since Wed. the VWAP is below the POC for each day.

I have been doing some study this weekend myself and you are correct. Responsive buying happens at the low end of the value area and below and Initiative buying happens at the upper end and above. Of course the converse is true for Initiative ...

VSA 101: * A wide spread down bar closing off its low with the next bar up means that there had to be buying in the bar. * When strength appears it usually appears on down bars. When weakness appears it usually appears on up bars.
