New Integrated VSA Style Indicator

Recommended Posts

I have been developing an integrated indicator based on VSA (Volume Spread Analysis) concepts.

The indicator combines three parameters

 

Position of the close on the bar as a percentage of the range

Rate of change of volume (%)

Rate of change the range (high-low)(%)

 

{These are separate indicators that are added for VSAtot)

 

The parameters are equally scaled and added, thus far.

 

This indicator is aimed at develping a screener tool to pick stocks for closer scrutiny. (see VSAtot in the chart). It would be used with other indicators and combined with other signals for the screener (price trend).

 

Given its combining three elements the signals are going to be mixed and require scrutiny. The idea is to find find stocks for closer examination. Currently the screener simply looks for an upswing in VSAtot in the last 3 days and a price surge.

 

I would be interested in any similar ideas for this approach.

 

Cheers,

How and why would he provide a back test report? It is simply an indicator to aid with screening. "This indicator is aimed at develping a screener tool to pick stocks for closer scrutiny."

 

Of course if you think there is some value in back testing go right ahead.

Thanks for the responses. Develping and testing a system was down the track at little.

BUT I have produced a backtest formula based on VSAtot, which has potential as a trading system as there are good buy and sell signals.

 

The system needs further development and tweaking but below are the results.

As I said this is very preliminary and needs further work, but it shows potential.

You might want to take a look at 'better volume indicator' at emini-watch. Pretty similar in concept and quite elegantly simple,

 

Thanks for that - I had a look at this and I agree that it uses similar ideas, but the focus is on the bar display rather than an indicator that can be used to screen stocks.

 

See the thread " Retest on Lower Volume with Volume Gradient " for similar ideas.

 

Following comments elsewhere there is a need to break the link with VSA.

 

I have renamed the indicator - Volume Position Range Signal (VPRS)

 

It measures relative changes in the Volume, Position of the Close on the bar, and the Relative True Range and generates a Signal that can be used to screen stock for closer scrutiny.

 

Having the 'better volume indicator' for displaying the stocks found would be a good enhancement, as would VSA.

 

Cheers and Thanks for the Feedback,

Good work Rusty99

 

I have gone down the custom VSA path too. I found that the 10 minute frame has special properties; it shows more VSA response. I’d guess your indicator would do the same.

    • Date: 14th February 2025.   Can The NASDAQ Maintain Momentum at Key Resistance Level?     The price of the NASDAQ throughout the week rose more than 3.00% to bring the price back up to the instrument’s resistance level. However, while taking into consideration higher inflation, tariffs and the resistance level, could the index maintain momentum?   US Inflation Rises For a 4th Consecutive Month The US Consumer Price Index, or inflation, rose for a 4th consecutive month taking the rate even further away from the Federal Reserve’s target. Analysts were expecting the US inflation rate to remain unchanged at 2.9%. However, consumer inflation rose to 3.00%, the highest since July 2024, while Producer inflation rose to 3.5%. Higher inflation traditionally triggers lower sentiment towards the stock market as investors' risk appetite falls and they prefer the US Dollar. However, on this occasion bullish volatility rose. For this reason, some traders may be considering if the price is overbought in the short term.   Addressing these statistics, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged that the Fed has yet to achieve its goal of curbing inflation, adding further hawkish signals regarding the monetary policy. Other members of the FOMC also share this view. Today, Raphael Bostic, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, stated that the Fed is unlikely to implement interest rate cuts in the near future. This is due to ongoing economic uncertainty following the introduction of trade tariffs on imported goods and other policies from the Republican-led White House.   Most of the Federal Open Market Committee emphasizes additional time is needed to fully assess the situation. According to the Chicago Exchange FedWatch Tool, interest rate cuts may not start until September 2025.   What’s Driving The NASDAQ Higher? Earnings data this week has continued to support the NASDAQ. Early this morning Airbnb made public their quarterly earnings report whereby they beat both earnings per share and revenue expectations. The Earnings Per Share read 25% higher than expectations and Revenue was more than 2% higher. As a result, the stock rose more than 14%. Another company this week that made public positive earnings data is Cisco which rose by more than 2% on Thursday. Another positive factor continues to be the positive employment data. Even though the positive employment data can push back interest rate cuts, the stability in the short term continues to serve the interests of higher consumer demand. The US Unemployment Rate fell to 4.00% the lowest in 8 months. Lastly, investors are also increasing their exposure to the index due to sellers not being able to maintain control or momentum. Some economists also increase their confidence in economic growth if Trump can obtain a positive outcome from the Ukraine-Russia negotiations.   However, during Friday’s pre-US session trading, 80% of the most influential stocks are witnessing a decline. The NASDAQ itself is trading more or less unchanged. Therefore, the question again arises as to whether the NASDAQ can maintain momentum above this area.   NASDAQ - News and Technical analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ is largely witnessing mainly bullish indications on the 2-hour chart. However, the main concern for traders is the resistance level at $21,960. On the 5-minute timeframe, the price is mainly experiencing bearish signals as the price moves below the 200-period simple moving average.   The VIX, which is largely used as a risk indicator, is currently trading 0.75% higher which indicates a lower risk appetite. In addition to this, bond yields trade 6 points higher. If both the VIX and Bond yields rise further, further pressure may be witnessed for index traders.   Always trade with strict risk management.
