[VSA] Volume Spread Analysis Part I

Recommended Posts

Hello PP and Habi, thank for your posts on Todd Kruger. I do agree that this blog should be very interesting.

 

Also, Todd mentionning his withdrawal of Tradeguider and his intention to start soon a course and mentoring program will be very welcome in the trading VSA community.

 

I do agree that, in tradeguider (apart from Tom Williams of course) is really the one who seems to understand the most about VSA.

 

Will follow this blog with attention.

 

Great thank to PP to have inform us about this blog and to Habi to have post the link.

 

Sincerely

 

Shreem:)

When I first heard the term "one-time framing", this is what I thought it meant:

 

Taking to timeframes and trading them as if they were one timeframe. In other words, if you placed to charts side by side, you traded as if the you were looking at one large chart. Effectively, "one-time framing" the two different chart timeframes.

 

However, this is not what the term means. It is a Market Profile term, so you know it must have some value :). If you want a definition, the extensive MP threads are filled with those who can help.

 

Well, based on my misunderstanding of the term and my understanding of WRB & Long Shadow Analysis, one can place two charts side by side and trade as if they were actually one large continuous chart. In his brilliant analysis, Shreem has touched on this idea often. That is, when the lower volume signal occurs on a lower timeframe but is within the body of a WRB of a larger timeframe.

 

Check out the charts below. Notice that a significant WRB is created on the 15 min @ 0345 hrs. This candle is Ultra Wide Spread with Ultra High Volume. While the next bar is down, we have to take note of the old highs to the left. These old highs tell us that we may well be dealing with pushing thru supply/absorption volume and thus the WRB is Strength, not weakness. There is also a valid dark hammer pattern completed on the candle just before this WRB. More reason to see strength.

 

As we are predisposed to look for longs, we note that @ 0355 hrs a No Supply forms on the 5 min. This candle is within the body of the WRB and comes after an Effort to Rise candle and a push to get past an old top to the left.

 

So we have our High volume bar that creates a WRB. Followed by a low volume sign within that body............... It just so happens that each comes on a different timeframe.

Hi Pivot,

 

thanks for your charts !

 

I don't understand why you labeled the doji bar with "squat" ... while it has a narrow range, it doesn't seem to me that it has very high volume.

 

Best regards.

Been getting excited about VSA again lately (not that I'm ever NOT excited about it) and saw this amazing opportunity on the ES today. This trade was good for 3.50 profit on the ES. This picture was taken before the trade finished.

Can you say awesomeness? 10 point ES move off that.

Tin - I wouldn't mind seeing a thread or two in our Candlestick Corner about some of your analysis here including vsa into the mix. I don't want to intrude on this thread, but I know you've been using candlestick analysis as well, so I'd be curious to see your thoughts on using both. I'm 'seeing' your volume premise, but not getting it just yet.

I think we might have possible buying climax in Bidu. The stock has moved rapidly (50 points in 4 days) on heavy volume. Today we had an up day that closed well off its highs on very high volume. Longer term I don't know where the stock is headed, but limited upside from here I would say.

Looks like a buying climax to me, will need to see signs of distribution and then some lack of demand prior to shorting.

Is it just my old eyes, or is anyone else having trouble reading the text inside Tingull's charts?

 

What would make it easier for you? Not having the bold around the letters maybe? It's an easy change if it'll make it easier for folks to read.

 

And brownsfan...I'll do a writeup this morning pre-market about my looking at the action with candles, too.

Narrow range bar with Ultra High Volume in new territory............. Possible end of a rising market.

 

Personally, I would not short here, but I would certainly not be getting long. Let us know what happens over the next few days. Thanks.

TG, if I squint real hard, I can indeed make it out. If nobody else is having trouble with this, I can just copy the chart with Snagit, then enlarge the image so my geriatric eyes can see it more clearly. If you look at some of the charts I've posted, I try to put clear white text on pitch black background. Seems to work well (good example on p. 30, permlink #291).

TG, Excellent thread on VSA, great Long setup on chart posted #386, the strategy here is obviously a trend reversal, however what were the exact tactics for trade entry and trade management.

 

Basically there are 3 setups : 1. Breakout of congestion

2. Retracement and continuation

3. Trend Reversal.

 

Breakout, retracement can be considered as trading in the trend direction.

Then relevant tactics have to be setout to trade with discipline and consistency. In this respect I have found info. in "Techniques of Tape Reading" by Vadym Graifer and Christopher Schumacher extremely valuable.

 

Their aspect of exiting trades on WRB with volume in conjunction with support/resistance level has made a huge impact on my trading.

EOD XLF chart (S&P Fin. Sector ETF)

 

9/25/07 - Test, Low Vol, Down Bar, Close High,

 

Test bar is occurring within the Body of the Wide Spread bar from the Fed day. I noted that bar as being Pushing through supply (two horizontal lines as possible supply, ultra high vol, Wide Spread, up bar closing on the highs)

 

From 9/20 to today XLF has been heading down on lower and lower volume (lack of interest on the downside)

 

Looking to long on break of the test bar's high

Rajiv has the right idea---posting charts that give VSA signals at the hard right edge. Good job, Rajiv! When I get good enough to spot signals like that, I'll post 'em. Taz

A lot easier to do on an EOD chart as opposed to intraday.

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
