its a webinar format. you can ask questions. i suggest you stick to one thing. pick a strategy/trading method and really study it a lot, otherwise, the progress will be very slow. my suggestion to you is to focus only on wyckoff as VSA is a ...

i suggest you to skip on "deep practice sessions" it will mess your head. he is trigger happy there and trades like a bot- all the up moves and all the down moves (and for most of the time its scalps) and on some of the sessions you can clearly see ...

I and Malcolm and a couple of others use that always. first 30min of the session. on UK session i use that for gbp, dax, eur (if that is that one time a month i decide to trade it), gold and also for US indices as lately they move a lot in UK ...

if you look at 1h TF and mark the HVZ from Friday we had rejection right on the highs. also happened to be the area that broke good support level and when we retest the place that broke support we might see a down move. i was looking to sell there, ...

agree with you on this. i do the same. only if 15m is giving me opposite signs of my trade i monitor how the market will react to it, but everything below it its just minor. THOUGH, we both know that the change of trend starts on smaller TF and then ...

Paul, im not saying that you are wrong and I'm right. I'm just giving my opinion of how I see the market. and you know how it is with opinions - its like assholes, everybody has one there are many, many, many ways how to trade and each of us ...

haha, nice principle! i think that massive down bar on the left could be selling climax. i would personally trade edges on that. but you are master on your own

for one moment let's forget about what Gavin says and Wyckoff theory. lets think logically, if we are going down for several days in a row, with clear structure breaks LL & LH. then to stop that movement we need something significant, right? the ...

now zoom out that 15m chart and then you will see that we are in a massive downward trend. do you see any signs of COB (change of behaviour)? EvR, WRB, increase in up waves, break of significant LH, etc? i dont see anything of that, so i would not ...

it broke the previous day's HVZ high, even from that point of view you could have taken it or you are thinking about some other HVZ? I like to trade springs and UT, im looking at confirmation on WW and smaller TF. springs are fucking awesome when we ...

vsa with Malcolm

yes, even 15sec TF and small range charts. but only if I'm scalping and only if the price is at the important area based on my analysis and if it matches with the bigger picture and if the RR is above 1:5 and many more ifs... so many "ifs" due to ...

i dont trade eurusd as its often very slow and there are only couple of days in a month when it moves well. that is why i prefer indices. but i keep one eye on it. so here is my 2 cents: i would have traded the spring on 5min. why? we made HH in UK ...

there was a study done on 5million trades provided by FXCM retail positions. the statistics: 60% of the trades were profitable! so not bad. BUT on average losing positions were 2-3 times bigger than winning positions. so this leads to the point i ...

you dont just sell the first minor SOW when we have such a massive up move. you need a change of behavior (COB) then you can look for sells. also with 1min TF catching the turning point when we have moved 200p is very hard. first you need to see sow ...

vsa with Malcolm

its possible signs of decrease in demand. but you can swing the trade, as overall yesterday might be a shakeout. Use ATR stops or just previous structure lows as a trailing place for your SL. also you can look at how we will react to yesterday's ...

my main charting platform is sierra charts where i use futures data feed and it looks very different. but i can tell you as before stated by other respectable traders - trade the volume you have on your charts. the important thing is how you read ...

if you are afraid of news, but the setup is good i suggest you to put SL in BE. often if the setup is good the news will lead the market in your direction. i closed it because: >volume was decreasing on up waves >that white line is a monthly open ...

nasdaq was a good trade. was a bit late with entry as was trading other indices as well. and had a noob mistake (too tight SL on the second position), but overall +120p. wyckoff and WW gave several confirmations to this one. as lately posts here are ...

VSA comes from Wyckoff (its just a simplified version). one of the best Wyckoff teachers (to my mind) was David Weis, he created also weis wave - which looks at the volumes in the waves (cumulative). so we have easier to see the strength or weakness ...

Tom Williams recommended looking back 200-300 bars to have a better understanding of market sentiment and to see the bigger picture. on your chart its around 30 bars and on 1min TF! these 2 things are very bad combinations. if you would have zoom ...
