Guys, just a quick question. If there is a breakout and a retest of the breakout area after that, if I get a proper, confirmed ND/NS, that is an edge for me on the market, right? Like there were some setups today which played out nicely, but can I ...

I make a quite similar daily analysis like yours. Though I only watch for the daily and the 4H at the end of the day, and analyse the H1 the next day morning. If all timeframes are trending in the same direction, and has a similar background or ...

Don't get me wrong TEB, I'd be more than happy to follow your trading style too, but.....so far I couldn't figure it out how do you do things. Maybe it is simple and I just should look harder at the pictures, it is definitely on my To Do list. On ...

I see. So these would have been valid trades, because the break already happened? image image Also when taking trades from the outside of a WRB, sometimes price goes back and forth into and out fo the zone, and a lot of time can pass before it ...

Tried to take a trade from the middle of a WRB, wasn't successful. Maybe the WRB was to tight range, or bad day and time for a trade? Or I missed something? H1: image M15: image No idea where that strength came from. First I thought they will go ...

I see thank you. I'll read your previous posts and pictures in this thread for more examples. Thanks a lot.

I see, so in every HV zone, you expect those players to step back and defend their position. If they don't do that, that is a signal too. In that case, there could be an ND trade be taken from the lower edge of the HV zone for example, yes?

But how did you know, that the very large bar and the subsequent bars on high volume after the HV bar wasn't either a buying climax, or that selling swamped the buying? Because the higher timeframes are still ind downtrend. EDIT: Also the bearish ...

Thanks for the detailed answer, I'm going to read it through several times. I heard this concept from Gary Fullett, another Wyckoff teacher, I don't know if you know him. Though he just mentioned this once, that he would be a buyer above the half of ...

Thanks for the help. While backtesting I found these kind of setups really good, when you mark the H1 HV zones, and try to take setups from them. Until now I tried to pick setups from their edges, like NS/ND setups in trend direction when the HV ...

Charts were kind of strange today, maybe an early profit taking because of the US holiday? Any tips what went wrong with this trade? Market was treding down, I didn't see any SOS in the background. The rally after yesterday's selloff was just as ...

Yep, I posted it on the previous page. GA gave a nice setup today aswell. WRB and previous low/support level align with each other, the best scenario. image Then on lower timeframe it broke through the support, and retested its low alongside with ...

I love how we all keep the subjectivity of our execution in trading, yet we talk about the same thing. Because this IS how the markets work at their core. I took this trade on GA today: I saw the market is creeping up on lower volume to a HVB and ...

Because it is inside the trading range, and you have to fish at the edges, not in the middle? By the way, I read all your comments in this thread before already, that made me understand this kind of setups much easier.

I'm still learning hard, but I noticed this on EN. (I don't watch this chart usually, also there might be more things on it.) image 1: Massive volume on small bullish candle, with bearish reaction, huge SOW. 2: No demand below the support line, ...

Hey, I'm still in the learning phase, I had a trade today, but have no idea, what went wrong. I'd be thankful, if somebody could point out my mistake. H1 Gold, I took this as an uptrend, it looks better on H4 and D1, I also haven't seen any sign of ...

Hey guys, I got familiar with VSA on Babypips around April as a complete newbie, then read the Master the Markets and the Anna Couling VSA book. I am really happy I found VSA first, but I'm still a breakeven trader with this method. Now I'm starting ...

First, thanks for this awesome thread, very informative. I was following it already, but I registered for this question. As you guys said, the job of an institutional trader requires, that he is always following the markets, so he can make the ...

Is anyone here an institutional trader?
