Best Trading Platform for VSA

Recommended Posts

To trade VSA you don't need expensive set of Indicators. If you are new to VSA, the education with TradeGuider is good, but $5000 indicators are not worthy. You can get VSA education free in many websites. I saw a large thread in this forum on VSA, actually it is very good. I use TradeStation and THD indicators and I can easily spot it on my regular chart. You can get a free VSA indicator at TradersHelpDesk, it is based on Tom Williams book. That indicator is coded by a VSA user, you can get it free in their website. You can see this volume indicator in my attached chart. If you google there is lot of free stuffs you can find in VSA

Afraid I don't agree guys. I use Tradeguider to learn VSA which anyway was invented by the owner Tom Williams, he called it VSA. I paid less than $1000 for mine not $3000.

I also have never found a volume feed as accurate so would be interested to know where from? I am not connected with Tradeguider just have used it for some years and have found it a great aid to learning trading. Stephen Frankel

In addition to flimbo's very helpful HLC bar chart indicator you can get a Volume Price Analysis (VPA) indicator for NT and ToS. Where? Search on Google, it's easy to find.

 

Why am I not posting the link? I think the info that there is one available is enough for people who are really interested in this kind of analysis. For the people who want to have everything gift-boxed (somewhere above, someone even asked about an expert advisor for mt4 or for NinjaTrader source... :crap: - ... Just really think about that, only one minute....:doh: )

 

Show some commitment and do your own research and foremost LEARN the principle by diving into it. Believe me this will save you a lot of money.

 

Tom Williams learned this by only looking at volume and price bar, decades ago. I would think, that this is the reason why he traded successfully.

 

The TG software is IMHO for people who already understood the principle 100% for their comfort. Or maybe for lazy people, looking for an expensive way throwing money out of the window. And by money, I don't mean the purchase price! Keep doing it, there is 24/7 someone who is catching every :2c:, me included.

 

Register at the TG site and you'll get invitations on a regularly basis. Maybe you can get even the Book "Master the Markets" for free. If not, I would suggest to buy it for $99.

 

Read it at least 3-5 times as it isn't easy to grasp. (ask Gavin from TG how many times he read the book) If then you are still interested in it, THEN buy it, even for $ 6.000 because it will save you a lot of work!

 

PS: Maybe someone will post his search result right after my post... remember my words which are all MHO.

ProTrader .NET Station / PT multistation trading terminal shows an extra little bar chart for the volume, at the bottom of the chart beneath every candle, which I find convenient, and appears pretty standard.

 

But more interestingly is that this terminal also shows a volume graph updating in real-time in the volume column of the watchlist for each instrument, stock, etc. - and you can easily sort that column.

Depends on what you are trading. If you are trading Forex through MT4 you might want to check this out. I personally bought a copy from him a while ago, I received an update a couple days ago and it works pretty nice. You should still learn the concepts though, as the guy says, this is just a visual aid designed to help you determine possible setups more easily.

Any Bar/Candlestick chart with volume information would be good.

 

Is this not a common feature of most charting software? e.g. PT multistation shows volume info at bottom of chart window

PT multistation has some pretty unique automated trading functionality:

- visual advisor tool for beginners to graphically creat simple strategies on the chart;

- PTL bulider IDE for programmers, which supports MQL4, EasyLanguage and C# strategies, with back-testing, optimization, and debugging tools. You can import strategies into it.

Nobody sells you anything that would let you just follow indicators and click on buttons and money will just stream into your account. I wouldn't go so far as to say any trading indicator/system/advise sold is a scam, but there is no easy substitute to your own hard work, and adapting someone else's knowledge and technique to fit your own style. If you are a serious trader, then you must know your platform. Most good platforms allow you to write your own indicators (there aren't many platforms that qualify). I have read the VSA literature and have adopted a few ideas into indicators for my own use (sorry, don't ask. What I am willing to sell to anyone wouldn't be worth anything). I don't own TradeGlider, or another other system sold on the internet or anywhere else. I have no reason to say it won't work for some people. I will end with the only thing I remember from the one marketing class I took in college, many, many moons ago - in marketing, regardless of what is being marketed (e.g., cosmetics, cars, clothing, trading systems, etc.), the marketer is selling only one thing - HOPE - and people will pay a lot for it if the marketer knows the trick of the trade. After the pitch, the only thing left is the price. For the righr price, we buy our piece of hope.

 

Good luck.

 

M.A.T.T.

    • re TikTok Recently metafakebook made what was apparently a move to stay aligned with ‘culture’ - no more fact ‘checking’, no more censorhip... basically ‘Zucker’ was shown that his mission was failing because they were only building profiles on ‘useful idiots’ instead of those who oppose the great centralization  (... just like long ago he only saw campus potential and had to be shown the promise and rewarded for fronting the great spyware and social engineering project called Fakebook)... ie they could have replaced him long ago In the same vein, who holds ‘title’ to tiktok doesn’t matter either... it will remain a spyware project regardless of who ‘buys’ it... and the data will forever be available to the CCP Just sayin’

    • Date: 20th January 2025.   The NASDAQ Rises As Trump Inauguration Edges Closer!   US indices increased in value for the first time after struggling for 5 consecutive weeks. Of the main US indices the NASDAQ witnessed the strongest gains (4.12%). Risk indicators point to a higher risk appetite under the new US President, Donald Trump. President Trump's inauguration will take place this afternoon and has promised to sign over 100 consecutive orders within his first week. NASDAQ - Higher Investor Confidence! NASDAQ traders begin to stomach less frequent interest rate adjustments, the market turns its attention to earnings and Trump’s presidency. Investors are becoming more bullish under expectations that Trump will apply policies to support the US economy and entice further investment into the US stock market. A "risk-on" sentiment is evident in today's sessions, reflected in risk indicators like the VIX, High-Low Index, and Bond yields.     Investors this week will concentrate on two factors. The first factor is Trump’s consecutive orders which he has advised will be signed within his first week. Investors will closely monitor how and if these policies influence the US economy and stocks. The second factor is earnings season, which will start to gain momentum this week. Tomorrow, Netflix will release its quarterly earnings report after the market closes. Netflix is the NASDAQ’s 10th most influential company and 11th most impactful stock. Analysts expect the company’s earnings per share to drop from $5.40 to $4.21, but for Revenue to rise to $10.11 Billion. If Netflix is able to beat the earnings per share and revenue expectations, fundamental elections would indicate a rise in the price. Over the past 12 months the price has risen 76%. A further increase would further support the NASDAQ. Thereafter, investors will turn their attention to Intuitive Surgical’s earnings report. Currently, investors believe the company’s earnings per share and revenue will rise compared to the previous quarter. Intuitive’s stock has risen by more than 9% in the past week alone indicating that investors believe the company will continue to beat earnings expectations. The company has beat expectations over the past 12-months. How are Markets Reacting to Trump's inauguration? Trump pledged to issue executive orders aimed at advancing artificial intelligence programs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). Analysts expect these two alone to support US stocks. However, investors are not yet certain to what extent upcoming tariffs will pressure the NASDAQ and stocks. During the previous trade wars, the NASDAQ fell by 25% over a period of 4-months. Traders also should note that the NASDAQ rose in the 6-weeks after Trump won the elections. Over the past week, the VIX index fell by more than 12% indicating that the market believes US stocks will perform well under a Trump presidency. Simultaneously, US Bond yields have fallen from 4.80% to 4.58% which is known to positively influence the US stock market. Both the VIX and lower bond yields indicate higher investor confidence as Trump advises that policies will prompt more employment, US made products and more pro-US policies. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis The price of the NASDAQ trades above the 200-bar Moving Average on a 5-minute Chart indicating bullish price movement. Moving Averages have also crossed over upwards and the price trades above the VWAP indicating that the asset is maintaining its bullish momentum. Price action is also forming clear higher highs and higher lows, but investors will be cautious if the price does not find resistance at the $21,637 resistance level. In order to break above this level, investors will be hoping for positive earnings data from Netflix and Intuitive.     Key Takeaways: President Trump's inauguration will take place this afternoon with promise to sign over 100 consecutive orders within his first week. US indices rise after 5 weeks of declines, with the NASDAQ leading at 4.12%. Trump pledged to issue executive orders aimed at advancing artificial intelligence programs and establishing the Department of Government Efficiency. Analysts expect Netflix earnings per share to drop from $5.40 to $4.21, but for Revenue to rise to $10.11 Billion. Investors are becoming more bullish under expectations that President Trump will apply policies to support the US economy and entice further investment into the US stock market.

    • Consider: some 80% of small to medium-sized businesses around the world don’t have a website.   Many businesses in emerging economies rely on social media platforms (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook) as their primary digital presence instead of formal websites.   But even in more digitally advanced economies, the number can hover around half.   Why? Simple answer: although we’ve made it easier to make a website, it’s still not easy enough.   Let’s say a yoga instructor wants to offer online classes but lacks tech skills or a budget.   Instead of struggling with confusing platforms, she tells her AI agent, “Set up a website for me to host yoga classes.”   The AI handles everything.   It integrates Stripe for payments, Zoom for live classes, scheduling services for in-person classes, and a chat module for inquiries.   It even suggests templates.   When the instructor picks one and asks for a purple and white color scheme, the AI updates it instantly.   No coding. No frustration. Just results.   And the best part? She didn’t have to touch a single screen or key.   This is the future Wilson describes in Age of Invisible Machines.   And, as mentioned, it’s powered by three core technologies:   Conversational User Interfaces (CUIs): Say what you need; the system handles it. From building websites to booking flights, it’s fast and human-like.   Composable Architecture: Traditional business solutions become “modules”. Like LEGO bricks, modular tools—payments, chats, scheduling—snap together to create custom solutions without starting from scratch.   No-Code Programming: AI agents code for you, empowering anyone to create without needing a developer. It’s not just a better way to interact with technology…   It’s a complete reimagining of how industries operate.   As Harvard Business School’s Marco Iansiti says, “This isn’t disruption—it’s a fundamental shift in production and interaction.”   And, the thing is…   It’s not just possible. It’s already happening.   Early examples are already here. – Chris Campbell, AltucherConfidential Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/ 
    • Question: My name is Omobola Sikiru from Lagos, Nigeria. I am mechanical engineering. Where can I find someone that can be my helper to relocate me to the USA?   Answer: According to your own profile, you are trying to enter other countries through deception and immigration fraud.   You are an engineer in Nigeria, but you are not licensed as an engineer in any other country.   There are no helpers, no sponsors, and nobody is going to give you money, get you an engineering job, or get you a visa.   You must qualify to immigrate. Nobody can help you with that.   Either you qualify and have settling in money, or you don’t.   You need to improve your English before trying to get a job in a Western, English speaking country. Engineers write reports. You wrote, ‘I am mechanical engineering’. Nobody will hire you if you write like this.
