a VSA chart a Day

Recommended Posts

I found one stock that interests me.

 

1) These two bars are wide, ultra-high volume down bars. The first closes in the middle of its range and the second on its high. These would represent buying... the only problem is I don't know their proper VSA name. I'm tempted to say selling climax, but I think that only refers to bars like these that occur in recent new low territory. I'm going to have to consult the book...

 

2) These look like test bars for supply.

 

The stock is a bio-tech stock reporting earnings today after the close. Bio-techs are excellent candidates for black-swan events (new drugs, fda approval, buyout, acquisition, etc). Even so it's a high-risk, low-probability play.

Here is another earnings play I took today (bought the may 125 put for 3.00 this morning) of a company reporting after the close.

 

1) We have a classic selling climax pattern here. We have an ultra wide ultra high volume up day. The next day is a down bar with high volume indicating that there was hidden selling in the previous bar.

 

2) Here we have stopping action. The volume is lower than the selling climax which leads me to believe that this alone is not accumulation for a significant move higher. It may have been short covering or buying for a 'mini-campaign'.

 

3) I consider this box to be action indicative of what I call a "mini" campaign. A full blown campaign would be the accumulation of a large quantity of stock and then marking it up significantly before distributing it to the public. This is the same idea except on a smaller scale... This idea of a miniature campaign isn't a vsa concept but it is something I've noticed on some charts. Anyway we get an upthrust before moving lower. We test for supply and than move up. There is a no demand pattern followed by a test. I point this out because I've noticed that many times during a markup of a stock that it follows this pattern of no demand followed by a test before moving higher. The next three bars are healthy up bars on good volume closing near the high.

 

4) The "mini" campaign I just mentioned was a bull move, but I think it was a smaller bull move in what will be a bigger bear move. This is an upthrust bar into new all-time highs which I expect to precede a bigger bear move in the stock. The bar occurred on high volume which is "extra bearish"

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
