I personally know the guy who started this thread, Malcolm. If you really want to learn VSA I personally recommend studying Wyckoff, then Tom Williams work. Wyckoff came first, not VSA. The best book you can read on Wyckoff is Trades About to Happen ...

Auction Market Theory and Market Profile

Eval prop firms are one of the most rigged things on the planet. They purposely don't allow swing trading because they want you to engage in high frequency trading which not only favors their model of resets and account fees, but it builds you ...

If this week climaxes, then shorts maybe on the horizon. But bro just go to the daily, forget the little tiny timeframe charts. They are detrimental. Gold has been ripping and one could've just went long at the open of the week (which I did) and ...

You're on a 5-minute chart, no wonder you're having a hard time deciphering what's going on. I don't give myself analysis paralysis. You can easily go to the daily and see the trend is currently up. The traders pushing the markets don't care about ...

Auction Market Theory and Market Profile

Market profile is pretty weak and over complicates everything. You can just use a daily chart and read price action to determine structure and directionality.

VSA is just a structural tool derived from Wyckoff. Makes more sense to learn Wyckoff price cycle which covers the basis of VSA. All you really need to know are upthrusts and springs.

Then you're on unregulated brokers. It should be reading Dow Jones Industrial or YM, not US30. If you're on a platform that is reading US30, it's unregulated and anything can happen. CFD= instruments offered by offshore brokers= not the actual ...

There is nothing bearish about gold right now. Scalping= detrimental trading habit. Not telling you how to trade but there's only one way to trade and it's the right way. You've been calling shorts and gold is up over 200 points for the week. Short ...

You're shorting strength, that trade you took was a nice pull back to go long. Gold pounding ATHs. Once a climax actually happens or we get an actual down week, then I would consider where to short and if to short.

Gold (XAUUSD)

All you really need to do is go to the weekly chart and see that gold has had 9 consecutive up weeks. Taking high frequency trades= account killer. Play pocket aces, suited faces, etc. All the micro level trades are detrimental vs one nice swing ...

Gold still ripping, waiting for another pull back to get back in long targeting 4263 area

Personally, would not recommend scalping. Probably one of the most detrimental trading behaviors that exist. The top fund managers and elite capital operators are not scalping. They are buying (at the right moments) and holding.

The truth is, this work takes time. You want to improve? Then give yourself time. Becoming a successful trader is in the same categories as in becoming a dr or lawyer, if not more demanding. The only difference is that anyone can just open an ...

Been long gold since yesterday, going to look for an area to size in. Targeting 4263 area for exhaustion exit.

After trading professionally for almost 5 years, I personally would recommend starting with a sim and working your strategy for a year if you're serious. I mean you can trade with small cash so you can feel it. But it takes a lot of time to get ...
