Stalking USDJPY. Will be using VSA to look for signs of No Demand or Climatic volume Also watching EURUSD. Buyers are coming in but it could possibly be preliminary support and price could still drift down to ~1.12 even with the professional traders ...

Please continue to share your journey. My trades in this thread are live but backtesting is still the largest chunk of my trading by far and it is always reassuring hearing others also figuring out the kinks and persevering. Recently while ...

Definitely interested in more perspectives. I went in thinking it was still bearish but now I think it might rally

I wonder if days like today (bank holidays that aren't acknowledged outside of the finance industry) give a clearer insight of where the bias is for retail traders/non-Smart Money. My assumption is that smart money is typically banks, so if they ...

One last stab @ AUDUSD for the day: Spike in volume = Absorption Bar breaking through resistance + trendline Potential sign of Top Reversal Test bar w/ No Follow Through on the Top Reversal = bullish Weak push higher. Mkt needs to retrace and test ...

I'm stalking the other side for a long term long. The fact that you are short is a clear sign that I'm too early lol. I wish I had more conviction in CAT like you suggested a few posts back too.

So busy in the main thread that I didn't know this thread existed. I'm working on hanging onto VSA trades longer and I think that trend/market structure will help a lot with that. Saving it and will read all the posts when I have some more time.

Still bullish long term, but hit the counter-trend trade instead. I was hoping to get another test of the supply line on the channel but price started breaking down before that could happen: Edit: Stopped out

Price is not going as low as I'd like so I don't think today is likely to be a test bar. I might still get involved though as the smaller timeframe is mirroring the accumulation on the Daily. Attached is the 30m: Bottom Reversal shows aggression by ...

Stalking AUDUSD on the Daily: Wide spread down bar, but below avg. volume. Institutional money isn't selling Heavier volume than the last bar on a narrower spread. Someone is buying and Stopping Volume is entering the picture. Momentum is too ...

I'm more concerned about sustainability/consistency than P&L at this point, so definitely share your perspective when you get a chance (especially since you use Wyckoff in a somewhat similar fashion)

I don't use Market Profile, but since you have it on your chart, you can see that price is returning to a high value node. It should be a 'wait and see' price level instead of a 'take a short when it hits this price area' price level.

Entered a trade on CAT based on VSA + Wyckoff. There's so much chop near my entry that a part of me think it would've been smarter to wait, however, the test on the daily made me feel like any moves lower could be a fakeout and to fade it to the ...

Took a trade in Apple this AM. There was weakness on the way up, w/ potential distribution around 9:30am CST. One takeaway is that when I saw the Ultra High Volume enter the equation, I should've tightened my stop to the nearest support level ...
