Forex-specific VSA question... As intraday traders, is there a specific time/ultra-high volume signal that you wait for prior to analyzing price? I am backtesting the overlap between the London Close and the NYC Open (approximately 7am-10am GMT-5). ...

The volume today was just barely lower than on 6/13 but the range was much wider: image Relative to 6/13, it looks like buyers have left the market and so price is heading lower without any resistance. My understanding is that smart money thinks ...

The last two days of weakness on S&P Futures were confirmed by the premarket price action: image I have been trading w/ real money here and there. Yesterday, I closed out 2/3 of SPY calls I had open yesterday but shit the bed on some calls for MU ...

S&P ETF vs S&P eMini Futures Contracts I thought the two were interchangeable but days like today give me pause. First is the ETF (SPY) and second is the eMini Contract: image image IMO, the ETF chart shows that the markets are losing momentum ...

I've spent a lot of time scouring VSA forums for advice. Here are two docs I compiled that includes VSA posts that stuck with me. The docs mostly overlap. Apologies for anyone who I didn't credit in the 'by Author' doc. I'll probably clean it up & ...

I typically use the free feeds on TradingView to watch pairs, but for the last few months they've been screwing up the data for FXCM (which imo is the best feed since it has the highest volume out of the free chart options for the forex pairs). ...

I'm currently workshopping how to combine multiple-timeframe VSA & using a UHV as a line in the sand a la Philip Friston (and Anotan too I believe). Currently, I can see the distribution taking place on the long-term timeframe, but I haven't spelled ...

Notes Timeframe I will backtest When I eventually trade live, I don't want to be watching every tick, but I don't want to wait a month for a setup either. I'd prefer to trade the Daily with a large watchlist across various sectors of the US Stock ...

How is the trading coming along?

pranith's trading journal

Woof. Speaking for myself, but @Cyberforex your posts/contributions aren't as insightful to others as you may think. You show a winning trade but you don't touch on what you see in the market, you don't explain your reason for entering and you don't ...

Appreciate you sharing the trade. Can you elaborate on your entry? I see it's a successful trade but I don't quite understand the rationale behind the entry unless the chart you shared is not the chart you used for your entry? I see some absorption ...

Good weekly VSA breakdown of the major futures markets. Before he would just have text pointing things out, but now he talks through what he sees in the charts: video

Ironically when I woke up this AM (CST) and saw that it was down 5%, my first thought was "Ask Anotan what he likely saw in the chart that I may have missed." Thanks as always
