Volume Spread Analysis thread - summary

Recommended Posts

We are all familiar with the great Volume Spread Analysis thread, I thought what I would do here is just highlight some of the information on it, just to make it easier find here rather than on the big thread.

 

Pivot Profiler provided coding for the VSA indicators he used in this post. It is post #1319 on the VSA thread.

 

jjthetrader has researched the logic behind the TradeGuider volume bands and posted the results on this post. He also attached the ELD for his result to this post. Post #51 of the "REQ Help with Trend Indicator" thread.

Mister ed, are you game enough to tackle a FAQs post(s)? LOL.

 

Hi PP - Game enough to give it a try and smart enough to warn that all answers on a 'best endeavours' basis! Don't know that I am knowledgeable enough but could be a good team effort PP?

Great James

 

My suggestion is to keep it in this section - the Premium Forum - there is plenty of info on the VSA thread, an FAQ here that acts as a summary is a value-add for members who have subscribed?

Great idea mister ed. It will be a VSA thread summarizing the entire 100+ pages of the original thread. Also will be interested in adding further input to it. Would you like to start the thread? Or should I throw something up?

Well, we can get it started here - the great thing is there is so much good material it is just a matter of highlighting the best.

 

Start with this from PivotProfiler (going to be important to correctly attribute this information to those that posted it), which walks through the process of setting a short trade:

Mister ed,

 

Give me a few days. I have an idea I want to implement on summarizing threads. I want to implement this particular script which will allow threads to contain their own table of contents.

Hi Mistered,

 

Actually give me a few hours. Im going to start implementing this one script. I want to make the summary a neatly organized so members wont need to pour over pages. Perhaps we can start by posting the important links from the VSA thread and I will pile them all into a book format.

Had a brief scan through so far - impressive work James, and a lot of work too.

 

Some comments (meant to be constructive)

 

On this page:

the reference to 85 % of volume being professional activity ... I think you will find this disputed later in the thread...I (personally) think it is a statement of faith, not supported by the facts - I think it should be either 1) deleted from this summary, or 2) a note made that the 85% assertion is questioned by many. PP himself has said this assertion is a leap of faith, I believe it is as it is not supported by facts or logic. By the way, we are equating professional activity with smart money, not with fund managers - fund managers can swing huge volumes but they are not necessarily smart money at all.

Hi

 

Great work everyone. Just one thing. In the "Chart Examples Part 1" section I can't see most of the charts that PP is reffering to. There is just a small X where the pic should be. I can see some of the other charts. My security settings for IE are on low.

 

I'm having to picture what PP is talking about in my head lol!

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

PP took all his charts off recently and can not get a hold of ever since. Its unfortunate but I am trying to figure out a recovery process right now.

 

Ouch! That's most unfortunate indeed. Did he delete them from his computer by accident? I have some strong programms that help recover lost or accidentally deleted files if you're interested.

 

Cheers.

He deleted it directly from the threads...which are stored in a folder on our server. Since the attachments get renamed differently when uploaded and stored, there is no way to retrieve it. There must be thousands of files stored by now. I am working with my programmer to see if we can restore an older backup for the VSA thread and try to fix it from there.

Unfortunately we can not recover the lost attachments. Very sorry about this and we have taken alot of measures to prevent further hacking from happening.

Anton - if you go and actually look at the thread you will see that the missing charts were restored to it at the end of March, 2008.

I know you are busy James and this may have slipped your mind, but the original charts were recovered and posted back into the thread - all except for about 5 charts were recovered. This was done in March 2008.

      Hey guys , what are the main things you look for to detect if the consolidation area is accumulating or distributing ? 
      1 ) I see springs in top , still markup happens and it becomes accumulation area and vice versa
      2) There is lots of volume absorption in support line and still markdown occurs.
      3) sometimes in market high / low it becomes re-accumulation  / re-distribution
      Is there any clear way to find it ?

    • Date: 20th September 2024. Bigger Interest Rate Cuts Spark Surge In Demand For The NASDAQ! Stocks rally after the Federal Reserve chooses to “go-large” with a 0.50% interest rate cut. The NASDAQ rises more than 2.50% and the Dow Jones 1.26%. The Dow Jones trades at an all-time high. UK Retail Sales rose significantly above expectations. The Great British Pound Index rises 0.35% and is the best performing index after the Japanese Yen. Gold attempts to break an all-time high as analysts expect the Federal Reserve to cut a further 0.50% by the end of the year. NASDAQ – Larger Interest Rate Cuts Prompt Higher Demand The NASDAQ saw a clear bullish trend with the index rising for 5 consecutive hours as the US Session opened. The higher demand is a clear result of the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates 0.50% and not 0.25%. The US Federal Reserve announced a 50 basis point reduction in the interest rate, lowering it from 5.25–5.50% to 4.75–5.00%. In his remarks, Fed Chairman, Jerome Powell, highlighted that the target inflation rate of 2% had been achieved but suggested further decreases could follow. The updated economic forecast projects consumer price growth at 2.3% by the end of the year, down from the previous estimate of 2.6%. Furthermore, economic growth is now forecasted at 2%, compared to the 2.1% predicted in July. As a result, the Fed expects the key rate to drop to 4.50% this year and reach 3.40% by the end of 2025. Therefore, investors are changing their view as to the “intrinsic value” of the NASDAQ and the stock market in general. The NASDAQ on Thursday was the best performing index largely due to its exposure to growth stocks. Of the NASDAQ’s individual stocks, 85% rose in value on Thursday and none of the top ten influential stocks depreciated. When monitoring other areas of the market, such as bond yields, indications still remain that buyers will control the NASDAQ. The US 10-Year Treasury Yields has fallen 0.024% during this morning’s asian session. Lower bond yields are known to be positive for the NASDAQ, and investors will continue monitoring the decline in yields throughout the day. The VIX index this morning is trading 0.15% higher; ideally buyers and shareholders would wish for the VIX to decline into a minus figure. Yesterday’s stronger employment data also continues to support the NASDAQ and stocks in general. Technical analysis continues to indicate bullish price movement due to the upward momentum and volatility. However, as the NASDAQ is currently retracing, upward momentum will need to be regained in order for a buy signal to materialize. When attaching the Fibonnaci retracement levels onto the retracement, a potential buy signal can be seen at $19,920. However, investors are also concerned the price is trading at the resistance level from August 22nd. GBPUSD – UK Retail Sales Significantly Higher Than Expectations! The GBPUSD rose to its highest level since February 2022 after rising 0.38% during this morning’s Asian Session. The bullish price movement is related to both the US Dollar’s decline but also the bullish price movement the Pound has seen against the whole currency market. Currently, the GBP is the best performing currency of 2024 so far but also of the day. So far in 2024, the British Pound has risen 4.42%. The Pound’s upward momentum is largely due to the Bank of England’s decision to keep its interest rate at 5.00%, whereas other global regulators had opted to cut interest rates. In addition to this, the UK’s Retail Sales figure for August read 1.0%, significantly higher than the previous expectations of 0.2%. Always trade with strict risk management.
