100 bars back on a 15-minute chart is not too much. You see strength and I do not. To each their own.

vsa with Malcolm

No strength on that chart. MA's are down, the faster MA is below one of your slower MA's. Low of the previous highest volume is above price. Today's highest volume is below the previous highest volume. What you said is strength is not.

Honestly, most days I would bypass that 2BR even if that LO zone wasn't there... the shared level is nice support and there appears to be room to hit 1 to 1 by the 50% BUT the upbar was a little too ugly for me with all that upper wick.

vsa with Malcolm

Price is moving sideways... NS followed by lack of follow-through to the upside... choppy, messy, no "trend" to trade. Time to stand aside and watch for clearer PA... 1 min is tough.

For me I have found the best trades off the 50% level are right after the zone forms, break of the H and a return down into the buy zone formed between the H and 50% (or reverse for shorts). I find when price has moved a long ways away I like to see ...

I also meant no disrespect in my response... just a long-standing pet peeve, I guess. I hope my response offered some value to you.

Also, as I am sure you have seen me say... if you are going to ignore the MA... take it off. Drives me nuts when people have a MA on their charts and constantly trade against it.

vsa with Malcolm

No as the move down was quite aggressive and that zone H is very close. I'd want to see a new break of the H or at least very clear signs that buyers are there and sellers are not.

vsa with Malcolm

That is the same for me. I find most times price will travel from yesterday's zone and then form today's zone at the days H or L... OR If the price is away from YHVZ, price again will form THVZ near or at the days H or L and then travel back to the ...

Different broker, a different view, which goes back to what HG says about trading what you see. On my charts, that second 2BR was a true pres78 2BR with bar 1 on increased volume.

vsa with Malcolm

Not picture-perfect BUT since its volume was still higher than bar 2 and bar 2 dipped lower, closed on its high and fully engulfed bar 1 I would trade it every time. Shows lack of selling interest and ease of moving upward.

vsa with Malcolm

Nice trade. There was another nice pres78 2BR right at zone H too and an NSP 2 right after the first 2BR. I love that people still call those pres78 2BRs. The second 2BR would have been a nice place to add a second position with a tighter SL... also ...

The ND and down bar after are both above the MA.

vsa with Malcolm

VSA would say the low of the ND is to be taken out within 2 bars (I think going from memory). That ND was never proven as weakness and in fact, the bar right after showed no sellers... so if you have no buyers and no sellers, the safest thing to do ...

vsa with Malcolm

Low of the ND was not taken out, so there should have been no trade, anyway. NS right after.

I remain a part-time trader whose sole purpose is to retire as young as possible. My trading is part of that plan as it allows me to invest and grow funds outside of my retirement plans through my work and bank. When I retire, I plan to maintain a ...

Mic drop... the best advice I've seen on here in a long time. When I can watch the charts, I manage my trades manually by the market using zones as I would for entries. When I am away, I use an EA that trails for me, so I never get caught with an ...

vsa with Malcolm

Also, bar 3 is the first close below the green/red MA, not sure when it would have turned red during the live market. That lovely little bit of PA which all of which occurred on/after the break of the zone low was beautiful. Pinged the low on that ...

vsa with Malcolm

High volume, lack of volume, and bar formations at the right levels.
