Re: How long does it take to become a profitable trader

hi there, im jason from london........been studying vwap for some time now.

A mentor friend of mine trades equities using vwap and mpd bands set 2 sd away from vwap, pretty much like your set up, only he trades the opposite way round to you. What i mean is when price hits the 2 sd he then trades and exits at vwap. There is other entry critria which he also uses like whether the index is ranging or trending, up or down etc, but it works for him and he swears by vwap. He says that brokers and mm use vwap as their benchmark in their trading, 'if its good enough for them its good enough for me' he says.

Why can't we use the vwap the same way as my friend does?, or do you already?

Is vwap used the same way in futures markets as it is in equities, meaning do mm and brokers use it for their benchmark in futures as in equities???


thanks and regards, i have learnt so much already from your videos,

jason
