  1. I believe you right click your position then select 'close order'. Change the volume to .5 lots, then execute/close. This is only for immediate execution. I'm still trying to figure out how to set up the same but w/ stops & limits. I know there is a T/P feature but that only allows you to T/P on the whole position and not break them up into pieces. The only other viable option which the NFA is killing on the 15th is hedging the position. Although from what I've read FXDD will continue to allow it.
  2. Before reading PPs post I was thinking somewhat along the same lines, 2 bar weakness. I looked at a 15min chart of the 5min chart from post #291 and it resembles an upthrust(sort of). If you look at previous bars they failed at 1486 closing mid bar. Plus, the overall trend is down and volume had dried up on the reaction(bounce). I'd think that PP would have a more concrete answer but it looks like he is letting others take a poke at it. Thanks by the way. I'm still a beginner at VSA so thanks for allowing me my 2 cents.
  3. 2:15 pm EST Saturday June 23. No video again? or still. Thanks James.
  4. Also, it seems okay now but yesterday I kept getting some "ZEND" upgrade page. Is that known & approved by you James/staff? It said that it was required to get onto the this site. Something about PHPs or something. Just confirming if this is not a virus/trojan or some other tech issue.
  5. PP, you've already defined WRBs vs WSBs. In case Tasuki wants more info....Explanation of what is WRB Analysis
  6. NoTouch, I agree with you on the first part of your post that 85% is baseless. Perhaps if one gauged all markets the percentage of 'professional money' would be close to that figure, who knows. Who is to say that 'smart money' consists of those working for some big firm with an exchange seat or those with billions in capital. Couldn't smart money consist of members of the public who are informed & educated, including some on this forum, as opposed to those who blindly bet on the markets? Maybe that would bring that figure up even higher. As for the latter part of your post..."What is even more interesting is the breakdown between buy volume and sell volume. It's interesting because there was almost an identical number of buyers and sellers in each group. Looking at the locals (Cti1) there were 182,292 buyers and 180,705 sellers. For the commercial clearing members there were 507,547 buyers and 515,787 sellers. For the public (Cti4) there were 351,724 buyers and 344,938 sellers. So this idea of the "Professional Money" always being right and the public always being wrong is nonsense. There were winners and losers in every group."...these figures show only volume. Not where the 'smart money' or the public bought or sold at. If I had to venture a guess I'd probably say the percentage of 'smart money' selling near the top/buying near the bottom was greater than for the public in general. Moderators, no offense but I think this thread has veered from its intended subject of VSA. Maybe the matter could be continued in a separate thread? Thanks.
