What is It and How Do I Determine It

Recommended Posts

Hello

 

I am new to Traders Laboratory. This I my first post here.

 

I have some experience with Technical Analysis through my activity in Worden Brothers TC2000 but VSA is a new concept for me. From some lurking (I do a lot of that) in this forum it seems to be something I would like to know more about.

 

Will someone please post a detailed description of just what it is, how it is calculated (or determined), and how it is interpreted. The more details, the better.

Thanks for your prompt response, Nvesta81.

 

I have begun to read those threads, but they are so long it will take me forever and a day to finish them.

 

I was hoping for something more concise.

OK. Thanks, guys.

 

I’ll buckle down, get my lazy behind in gear, read the threads, and learn the hard way,

 

Actually thats probablly the easy way. I wish this information was available when I first came across VSA.

 

Another way would be to get the free e-book and look at a lot of charts (OK a helluva a lot of charts) to see what its talking about. You could then ask specific things in the thread. There is no substitute for screen time. Well except printing charts out and examining them.

 

Another option would be to take a look at the Tradeguider site. See if you can find any videos where Tom is speaking. Gavin has the spiel down parrot fashion, good enough to find out what VSA is all about. The first half hour of most of his presentations concerns 'what is VSA'. Though of course you will realise that the agenda is to sell TradeGuider. Despite that there is some good stuff there (or used to be). It probably wont be log before you have had your fill.

 

If you want to get behind it all Read all you can by Whycoff (and his pseudonym Rollo Tape). Also visiting Dunigans work and Ganns swing stuff would probably be rewarding. Of course it would be remiss not to mention DbPhoenix's stuff too, so I have.

 

Sadly there are no shortcuts, however if you are trying to establish 'is this for me' you still will need to invest a bit of time to understand what its all about. Thats the catch 22 of most approaches and methodologies. Personally I think you are moving in the right direction but you will need to discover that for yourself.

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
