[VSA] Volume Spread Analysis Part I

Recommended Posts

Sebastian,

I donwloaded it, but it won't open. the file extension is .CAMREC, which I guess none of my video programs will recognize. I've got:

Quicktime

Windows Media Player

DivX Player

RealPlayer

Winamp

IrfanView

...and none of these will open the file.

 

I'd sure like to see your analysis. Anybody have an idea how to view this file? I tried re-downloading and choosing "open" instead of "save" but that didn't work either.

camrec is a first extention from camtasia previous to production... camrec files must be produced by camtasia into swf or other type of file to be shareable... my two cents... cheers Walter.

Well, it's a start. I can hear the audio, but it sounds like there's a video that's supposed to go with it, which I can't see. Can anybody see the video portion? If so, what player are you using? Any special settings?

 

Oops, sorry about that. I just extracted the avi file from the camtasia file and didn't realize it's probably using a codec that camtasia uses (the tscc Codec by TechSmith Screen Capture?). I didn't even think about having to convert it over to another format. No wonder it was such a small filesize for 12 minutes of video. Wow, this is getting confusing.

 

Here it is converted quickly to an swf file. It's 22.6mb and hopefully good enough quality. I don't have time at the moment to try anything else. Not sure if it will stream or not since it has its own player (can skip ahead, etc). If you don't see the video right away, you might have to wait for it to fully download which could take several minutes depending on your connection speed.

Hi Sebastian,

 

Haven't checked the video out yet....looking forward to that. I believe camtasia has an option as saving as as an AVI. I think it 'post processes' to do that (i.e. converts it when you hit save). I am not sure whether it does .swf possibly I don't recall. Just FYI.

 

Your obviously keeping busy in Worthing!! :pc guru:

 

Cheers,

Nick.

Thanks Sebastian, I've uploaded the file as an swf, suppose not everybody has camtasia here.

 

Wow, I did not see your response and the flash file you uploaded. I only saw Tasuki and Walters response. Sorry for cluttering up this thread.

 

On with the discussion... :)

Sebastian,

 

I made a mistake regarding the Best of Wyckoff conference. Todd has not committed himself. Looking forward to hearing if Tom can attend. Thanks.

You are all very welcome, I got Tom to view into the first one to see if he could fault it, he could not. that is good news.

 

regards Sebastian

 

Sebastian, is the 10 min chart the one you prefer to trade with? I noticed on one of your commentaries you used a 5 min and the others a 10. Is it just a timeframe that you're in tune with or is there more?

The guys at Tguider use 3 and 7 and I can't stand either for some reason.

thanks

Hello All-

Just wanted to compliment this forum and thread in particular. I have been trading for about a year and recently stumbled upon the VSA method- sadly not a lot of info out there regarding it on the net so to see 100+ pages of discussion on the subject is like stumbling onto an information goldmine.

 

I still have quite a bit to learn on VSA but the one NAGGING question that keeps my mind working is this: Is it possible to spot the "anvil" as I call it. Or "The floor falling out" I am working to determine- where is that move that makes the move turn. I'm sure you all know what I mean. I could get into a trade seeing that the upward move is nearly over, I see the "professional money" has offloaded the vast majority of their hold into the move and are letting "the herd" get hooked. You then see the some downward pressure and some upward move. I like to call it that "the fish is on the hook and fighting the inevidable" This could go on for hours- sometimes 2 sometimes 8 or 9. Then all of a sudden- the anvil drops, the floor falls out. And the Downward move crashed down like a tidal wave- 180, 200 pip drop- targets hit and money is pouring in if you have your sell order in.

 

So how do we determine when this "drop" happens? I have been positioned correctly- but it kills me to watch a "fish on a hook" for 9 hours- any advice on how to determine when to wait a bit longer- but not miss out on the move?

 

Great forum! Glad to be aboard.

Splendid Vids. Not sure how much you played back but quality sorted self out after a couple of minutes. Top notch.

 

Hi Nick;

 

Are you the Nick A that I had coffee with in London last weekend?

The principles work on any timeframe, I personally use a 15m chart, because when the signals appear, the longer term chart will have less whipsawing so you are less likely to be shaken out.

On your next chart would you do it on a 15min timeframe then and show us how you would trade it so we know how to translate VSA into trading?

Much appreciated.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
