No entry opportunity with TLT yet. I did trade this one and curious to hear others' perspective on it: Here's the Weekly chart for the big picture, and my bar-by-bar breakdown of the daily: image image Climactic volume? Closes off the lows and ...

Still stalking bonds as a trade via TLT. Bonds declined since the above post but w/o conviction. Last week was a great illustration of the overall strength. Looking to potentially start a position @ resistance-turned-support: image

Definitely buying. All the markets seem to have a clear shakeout in April for the initial tariff announcements. I'm already convinced that there's strength/accumulation across all timeframes, but as I lean more heavily on multi-timeframe analysis ...

Here's the last month of data on the hourly. It looks pretty one-sided re: directional bias and today's price action looks aggressively bullish (but is still ongoing): image Here is the Daily, which shows promise but I think largely depends on the ...

Hope everyone's doing well. I know the focus it typically forex but saw this chart and thought it might have long-term potential. I'm not a bond trader personally, but the VSA principles seem clear as day and the sector/instrument might be worth ...

It's a very old chart. Also because it was part of the 'Deliberate Practice' section, Gary picks a random day and doesn't say which day it is so that the audience is less likely to cheat and look up the chart themselves. I do have a screenshot of ...

No problem. I will say that i am using it because I was having trouble w/ trade timing and identifying change-of-behaviors in real-time. I can definitely see it being a distraction if you have other issues that are more important to you on your ...

I'm not going full 'Weis Wave' on every chart, but I am leaning into the idea of watching waves more closely for lengthening/shortening of thrust to complement the VSA background. Still in the early stages but I think it's an additional step towards ...

Thanks for finally stepping out of the shadows and hope you post more in the thread

Glad I'm not the only one that gets head-faked by this type of bar explanations of the bar. I took some notes on the bar-type a few months back but never fleshed out when to go w/ it vs against it. Ok cool. I think that I'm in-line w/ the general ...

image Curious how others would classify the most recent Daily bar on the S&P 500? Here's the two scenarios that come to mind for me: A part of me frames it as a no-supply down-bar that suggests bullishness. Things feel a bit more mixed when I take ...

Thanks for this! I'm going to go over the trades again more extensively w/ your notes as reference points.

Knocked out 30 more trades of backtesting and still hovering around breakeven. I grabbed the charts of a handful of my losers and attached them. Curious if I can get some feedback on potential ways that I'm missing the forest for the trees w/ these ...

You are drudging up a question from 8 months ago, and you didn't correctly quote the user, so he won't be notified that you responded to him. Also, instead of sharing your insights like everyone else is doing in the thread, you drop 'clues' and try ...

He definitely leans on Wyckoff when analyzing a leg/trend/chart (i think this is the David Weis influence), but his bar-by-bar reading as price unfolds is very VSA. Good points. I'm not here yet, but that is something I'm looking to layer in once I ...

Watching a Gary Dayton video and he refers to the last bar as a No Demand bar instead of a test: image Based on my understanding of VSA, it doesn't fit my criteria for No Demand. The call ends up being right tho: image Tossing aside the labeling ...

I haven't used LD's analysis regularly as of late, but I had always been confused by this chart too. It finally made complete sense to me for the first time today. Here are my notes (kudos for the detailed notes btw, it encouraged me to look w/ a ...
