Some posts I read, I forget which, implied that you can trade only with buy stops and sell stops, making it easier to fill an order. Am I off my rocker, or is this possible?

Hide your SL from stop hunting

Made the weekend gap, lost it all in overmargin, lost and won little pieces (5-6) since then. I have a new, official method which blends rl with the noted balance patterns. It's very off-the-wall, lots of interpretation; in time, when it feels ...

It's fine I was ignored. Someone else answered. And I do follow this thread avidly. Climax bars seem to kickstart some runs, stop others; I don't know why, though.

Trade Using VSA (Volume Spread Analysis)

Just saw the starter for this thread. Reminds me of a book from college, HOW TO LIE WITH STATISTICS by Daniel Huff. In libraries everywhere. Lots of charts. The book's from the mid-50's, just like the chemists from then that invented our food. I ...

Technical Analysis Fallacy

Thanks for the indicator. It's good for a break, while trading 1' patterns-- one symbol, 50 bars a scale (one scale a page) , preset scales -- Drawing all over each one (except horizontal line.) url

Gave up on demo account. Lost another 2, then 20, then 21, then 18 pips, all at 200:1+. It's senseless. New approach: Keeping a pattern journal combining basic balance patterns url .) It's not much, just an idea to keep me afloat.

Sorry for interrupting this thread. ThatWasMe, Would you be willing to add a channel-drawing option to your CDRW Spread indicator? (See post #299.) I wanted to use the highest spike waves to select which price bars to draw the bar-high trendline and ...

Trade Using VSA (Volume Spread Analysis)

Just included the bettervolume 1.2 ; had to read on it, first. Made my next trade on it. Hugh drawdown, scared me. Anyhow, had observed runs happening and then failing after the climax bars, and so saw a short side and its low bar, then some ...

Playing around with local intersection lines ( url ), since the volume channel ( url ) is right-on and a heavy influx of balance patterns preceded the shown big roll. This is to be expected, given the channel's second half registered on the 1H. ...

Trade Using VSA (Volume Spread Analysis)

How's this for simple? url I chose the two-highest (before the big run just now) CDRW Spread (at 1000) waves, connected the high and low of each candle (ignoring the second of the double high wave, in this case), and found they intersected the ...

Trade Using VSA (Volume Spread Analysis)

Already noted in post 14 and replied to in 15. The method'll take a while to get right. You noted one problem, and there'll be plenty of others. Once the method's reasonably done, I can explain it, because I think it'll give an effective approach to ...

I've learned more from VSA-inspired volume study in the past several days than I have in four years on price action. Thanks to this and the original threads for highlighting VSA. Now, if I could only keep up with the chart action...

Trade Using VSA (Volume Spread Analysis)

Alright, so I'm beginning the path of applying. JB COG / 34 lwma surrounds and stablizes the price-time line. CDRW Spread / (on-chart, biggest-bar-only) NVO helps draw areas, trendlines, respectively. General local trend. (Reminds me of on-chart CFP ...
