OK. Thanks, guys.

I’ll buckle down, get my lazy behind in gear, read the threads, and learn the hard way,
Actually thats probablly the easy way. I wish this information was available when I first came across VSA.

Another way would be to get the free e-book and look at a lot of charts (OK a helluva a lot of charts) to see what its talking about. You could then ask specific things in the thread. There is no substitute for screen time. Well except printing charts out and examining them.

Another option would be to take a look at the Tradeguider site. See if you can find any videos where Tom is speaking. Gavin has the spiel down parrot fashion, good enough to find out what VSA is all about. The first half hour of most of his presentations concerns 'what is VSA'. Though of course you will realise that the agenda is to sell TradeGuider. Despite that there is some good stuff there (or used to be). It probably wont be log before you have had your fill.

If you want to get behind it all Read all you can by Whycoff (and his pseudonym Rollo Tape). Also visiting Dunigans work and Ganns swing stuff would probably be rewarding. Of course it would be remiss not to mention DbPhoenix's stuff too, so I have.

Sadly there are no shortcuts, however if you are trying to establish 'is this for me' you still will need to invest a bit of time to understand what its all about. Thats the catch 22 of most approaches and methodologies. Personally I think you are moving in the right direction but you will need to discover that for yourself.
