pres78 replied Jan 26, 2011Thanks for the confirmation... Still learning to read the VSA signs especially the background.

pres78 replied Jan 26, 2011I know Malc said we might see a bust upwards but are we not seeing weakness on the EURUSD 15min? We had a low volume test of the trigger level followed by a downbar and we have a rounded top. I am sure my brokers volume is wacky so what I am seeing ...

pres78 replied Jan 26, 2011No trades today — I have not taken any 123 trades today (nor any 2B trades)... PA is rangy at best plus I slept through LO.

pres78 replied Jan 25, 2011Yes what's that old saying... plan your trades and trade your plan. We are ll guilty of straying at times. Yes I would love to see a nice shake out, confirmation and then a low volume test or NS near the 3640 level to get in on a nice long. I have ...

pres78 replied Jan 25, 2011I am also in agreement on this long trigger... the only place I differ is that I won't become short trade biased for anything longer term (like Malc's 100pip target he mentioned if going short) until we also clear 3611.

pres78 replied Jan 25, 2011Yes but it was a nice way to pick up 30 pips at the end of day (non VSA). I had a short pending at 3700 down to that stubborn 3670 level. I had a tight 10 pip SL in case it continued on up so it had a nice risk / reward.

pres78 replied Jan 25, 2011And there is that 3702 level I referred to earlier. Price touched it before moving back down some.

pres78 replied Jan 25, 2011Leave it to end of day NY to make a new high on the EURUSD... will we creep up through 3700 on low volume at days end?

pres78 replied Jan 25, 2011Price hit -38.2 fib and came within 4 pips of my target. After than 2 bar reversal with a strong down and then a fully engulfing upbar I closed out at BE... no point in taking a loss this late in the day... in hind sight I should have just stopped ...

pres78 replied Jan 25, 2011EURUSD — Everytime it goes down... it comes back up to that same zone. Let's see if tommorow PA can finally push up through. One could have made some nice pips just selling this level...

pres78 replied Jan 25, 2011I got in and out for 37 pips off a 5min ND and that nice rejection at the 3670 level. I got in at 3648, out at 3611 and had my SL above the recent high at 3682 for just better than 1:1. It was a riskier entry as I was below hull but it was blue and ...

pres78 replied Jan 25, 2011Agreed... man I may need to look into a more reliable volume feed.

pres78 replied Jan 25, 2011Look at that 15min wide range downbar it was on dropping off volume (lowest in 6 bars on my broker)... no selling pressure? Profit taking? The very next downbar closed off it's low on increased volume and back above that 3611 level. It was good that ...

pres78 replied Jan 25, 2011That zones been tough on the bulls. We need some steady upbars increasing in volume to push through this zone...There is still some ADR room left just have to wait and see if the money driving the market wants anymore upside.

pres78 replied Jan 25, 2011Huge spikes in volume always tells you something... then you have to anylise the bars associated with this spike as well as the background and the bars that follow.
