VSA for Confirmation Entry and Exit

Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

I am in Australia and mainly trade the ASX. I have been reading with interest the VSA thread.

 

Just a few questions if someone would respond please:

 

Can VSA be used on a Daily chart or is it predominantly for Intraday like 5 min or 1 min charts.

 

Is it a good tool for entry and exit points by this i mean are there certain signal that confirm a change in direction.

 

I don't short mainly look for stocks that go north.

 

I tend to stick to stocks between .01c to $3

 

These question may have already been answered i may have missed them (alot to read)..lol a link would be good.

 

Cheers

Ubetido

Hi Ubetido

 

The ideas and principles of the analysis can be applied to daily charts as well as intra-day. Unfortunately there isn't really a shortcut I can point you to, its a matter of studying to learn to recognise entry and exit points. The two VSA threads will be a great benefit, but also have a look at the Master the Markets book (link to free PDFs of the book are found through the threads and elsewhere on this site). The Wyckoff area of the forum may also be helpful to you.

Ubetido,

 

You would be far better first imbibing the principles of price/vol relationships via Wyckoff, then moving into VSA, that way you will have the horse before the cart;) keeping in mind that VSA has been derived from original Wyckoff material which incidentally focussed on daily charts only. However the laws of supply/demand, effort/result, cause/effect are absolute and operate in intraday futures markets.

Ofcourse the choice is yours

I'm not sure Wyckoff focused on daily charts only. Although Section 7 of the original course is about determining the trend by the daily vertical chart, he did write the "Day Trader's Bible" (provided here) and he notable said that a true tape reader day trader doesn't hold overnight.

That's right FW - there is a pdf attachment (The Tape Reading Chart) in this post where Wyckoff described an intra-day entry, it includes an intra-day chart on the last page of the attachment.

Hi all

 

Thanks for your replies greatly appreciated. I guess i am looking to validate this as an accurate measure of entry for the way i trade and exit.

 

The reason i say this is that i looked at some video here whereby it was live and the person called it wrong more time than correct which raised alarm bells to me. ? Called professional money entering when it closed on the downside of the bar etc.

 

When he mentioned it weak it went up and vice versa.

 

This then registered to me that perhaps and only perhaps live is alot more difficult than looking at a EOD chart and saying yes weak here bar up here etc etc.

 

The way i trade is that i only look and focus on one or two stocks and wait till i reckon its entry time. I buy many many shares in only one of them then wait and take my profit. So it is important to myself to get it reasonably correct

 

I did try to apply some of the material i read but based on some past charts and time i still couldn't say yes buy here or exit there

 

I only use one or two indicators in my trading and was looking if this would assist it.

 

It is probably that i can't see what you experienced folk can see.

 

Cheers

U

Once you would do well do study Wyckoff first and then move into VSA, check out Dbphoenix forum on Wyckoff ,

 

Here are some pearls of wisdom from there:

 

"From a practical standpoint, it really doesn't matter who is moving price or why they're doing it. What matters is that price is moving. The key to profiting from that movement has less to do with how and why and who than with being attuned to the relative strengths of the buying and selling waves as they relate to previous buying and selling waves, i.e., support and resistance. Allowing oneself to become enmeshed in the who and the why does nothing but add another layer of unnecessary and irrelevant complexity.

 

Volume has to do with trading activity. Supply and demand have to do with price movement (unless price doesn't move at all, in which case supply and demand are balanced. Price can move substantially on practically no "volume" at all. It can also sit there buffing its nails while tons of trading activity is going on in the background."

Hi again

 

Thanks again and great forum you have here lots of reading and open and diverse people with their own opinions on trading from all over the world.

 

Volume/price movement/support resistance/trade frequency/market depth. Once these line up it can't get any better than this. IMO

 

cheers

    • Date: 14th March 2025.   Gold Surges Past Record High as Market Volatility Persists.     Gold Surges Past Record High as Market Volatility Persists Gold surged towards $2,994 per ounce, surpassing its previous high set on Thursday. With a 2.6% rise this week, gold is on track for its most significant gain since November. Meanwhile, gold futures in New York comfortably exceeded the $3,000 mark, reflecting strong investor sentiment toward the precious metal. The robust performance of gold this quarter extends its strong annual rally in 2024. Market uncertainty, exacerbated by the US administration’s aggressive trade policies, has dampened risk appetite for equities, pushing the S&P 500 into correction territory this week. Central bank purchases increased ETF inflows, and bullish forecasts from major banks have further fueled gold’s ascent. Trade Tensions and Market Impact Former President Donald Trump escalated trade tensions by proposing a 200% tariff on European alcoholic beverages, including wine and champagne. Additionally, he reaffirmed his stance on retaining tariffs on steel and aluminium and signalled that reciprocal tariffs on global trade partners could take effect as early as April 2. As we approach the second quarter, reciprocal tariffs could drive another wave of market turbulence, solidifying gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset. Gold and Equity Market Reactions The upward momentum in gold has also lifted mining stocks, with Australia’s Evolution Mining Ltd. reaching an all-time high. Global holdings in gold-backed ETFs increased to 2,687 tons, marking the highest level since November 2023. Analysts at major banks remain bullish on gold’s trajectory. Macquarie Group recently forecasted a potential spike to $3,500 per ounce in Q2, while BNP Paribas revised its outlook to show gold prices consistently above $3,000. Gold traded at $2,983.50 per ounce in the Asia session, reflecting a 14% year-to-date gain. Meanwhile, silver edged lower after nearing $34 per ounce, while platinum and palladium recorded gains.     US Stock Market Recovery Amid Uncertainty After a sharp sell-off, US stock futures rebounded. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.4%, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite futures gained 0.6% and 0.8%, respectively. Despite the slight recovery, Wall Street remains on edge following the S&P 500’s descent into correction territory. Trump’s firm stance on tariffs has added to market concerns. During a meeting with NATO’s secretary general, he dismissed any possibility of easing trade restrictions, acknowledging that further market disruptions may lie ahead. Government Shutdown and Economic Indicators Adding to the economic uncertainty, a potential US government shutdown loomed over Wall Street. However, a breakthrough emerged late Thursday as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer signalled a willingness to advance a Republican-led stopgap spending bill. Today the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment survey is expected to shed light on how consumers are coping with inflation and trade disruptions. Last month’s report indicated weakening economic confidence, which could have further implications for spending trends. Asian Markets Rally Amid China’s Economic Stimulus Asian stock markets saw a strong performance this morning, brushing off Wall Street’s losses. Chinese stocks surged after state-run banks and financial institutions were instructed to support consumer spending. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index jumped 2.5% to 24,038.85, while the Shanghai Composite Index gained 1.9% to 3,420.65. In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 added 0.9%, while Australia’s ASX 200 climbed 0.6%. China’s National Financial Regulatory Administration issued directives aimed at boosting consumer finance, including encouraging credit card usage and providing support for struggling borrowers. Economists, however, argue that broader reforms—such as wage growth and enhanced social welfare—are necessary for sustained economic recovery. Wall Street’s Struggles Amid AI Stock Declines Despite positive economic data, including lower-than-expected wholesale inflation and strong job market indicators, stock market turbulence continued. AI-related stocks, which have been at the forefront of market gains, faced renewed pressure. Palantir Technologies fell 4.8%, Super Micro Computer dropped 8%, and Nvidia fluctuated before closing 0.1% lower. Tesla also struggled, declining 3% and extending its 2025 losses to over 40%. In contrast, Intel shares soared 14.6% after announcing Lip-Bu Tan as its new CEO. Oil Prices and Currency Movements In commodities, US crude oil prices rose by $0.46 to $67.01 per barrel, while Brent crude increased by $0.44 to $70.32 per barrel. The US dollar strengthened to 148.63 Yen, while the Euro dipped slightly to $1.0845. Conclusion Market volatility remains high as investors navigate shifting trade policies, inflation concerns, and economic uncertainties. While gold continues to shine as a safe-haven asset, equity markets face persistent headwinds.
