Hi Alberto, Are you still working on cycle analysis ? I've been experimenting with cycle analysis. I use a commercial software Timing Solution for this purpose. Here's my view on cycle analysis: 1) Cycle analysis cannot be used as an independent ...

Hi TEB63, How do you define TB-Transfer Bar ? And what is TUM ?

Another textbook VZA entry on 15-min chart of AUD futures. On the upper boundary (the upper green line) of the one-hour highest volume zone from Oct 2nd, a 2BR formed.

Today on JPY futures there's a textbook VZA set up on 15 minute chart. On the upper boundary of 1 hour high volume zone from Sep 29th, a Pres78 2BR formed and then JPY dropped like a rock. On the cash chart of USDJPY it's the opposite.

Pres, please switch back to using the term Pres78 2BR. "a reducing volume 2BR" just feels award, plus it does not include the feature that the 2nd bar makes a HH/LL. Anyway, I mark the pattern as a Pres78 2BR.

Hi Jason, I have a question about the tick volume on FXCM's MT4 platform. Do you get the tick volume from the banks that you work with or you generate the tick volume at FXCM ?

IMHO the world is over-reacting to the fall of Shanghai composite. The Chinese stock market is not tied to really economy. During the high growth period of China's economy from year 2007~2012, the stock market fell from 6100+to around 2000. We in ...

Thanks for the explanation. Now I understand.

Hi Pres, You mentioned pres78 2BR couple of times. How is a pres78 2BR different from a regular 2BR ? If a 2BR shows up at an important zone, it will be a pres78 2BR ?

You're not talking to yourself. I think a lot about what you said,"...you need to change how you think and see the markets..."

There're gold nuggets in there !

Hi Pres, Excellent explanation ! It's posts like this that help me learn the most. Now I see where I missed in the big picture. I'll benefit a lot by digesting this. I'll make a PDF copy of it. Thanks again for your help and I really appreciate it.

Hi Pres, Understood that in trading nothing works 100% and probably the trade failed for no obvious reason at all. Just wanted to see if I missed anything that would have invalidated the trade. Futures price moves almost the same as the cash market ...

Hi Pres, Most of the times VZA works pretty well. However yesterday I had a loss trading VZA on CHF futures. In the below chart, the two green lines are boundaries of the 1 hour high volume zone from Aug 25th. After London open, it printed two pin ...

I didn't take the trade but it was a text book VZA trade in hindsight. The green line is the lower boundary of one hour high volume zone from Aug 17th. A dogi formed at the green line on volume equals (maybe higher than) the previous bar with a much ...

Hi Pres, Noticed that you've been trading M30 and higher. Do you still trade M5 and M10/M15 ?

Hi Pres, Your entry bar was a down bar into the zone of the highest volume from yesterday. If I had been watching this pair and followed your VZA method, I would have placed a stop order above the up bar after your entry bar, where I indicated with ...

Thank you a million Pres ! I'm learning something from each and every post of yours ! Attached is an one-hour chart of EUR. The blue line shows the low of the bar from yesterday with the highest volume. Your method really works !

Another classic post of this thread. I'll make a PDF copy of it.
