Very good stuff MR Paul ¡¡¡ simple and powerfull, the best of two worlds perfectly combined.... Candles (price action) and Volume (Smart money analisis ).... in a very neet simple presentation.... I perfectly agree on looking on multiple time frames, you know, probably this week has been the first in years I am looking and enjoying time based charts... they show much better this candle and volume patterns.... I honestly enjoy the 5 min chart as I like to trade more small time frames... please keep sharing, very good educational inputs ¡¡ thanks Walter.

januson : why do you have to trade on your market ? cant you trade usa futures ? you could make it more cheaper, and to be sincere you dont need more than a good candles and volume that comes on any dom actually to get started ... even Mr paul is posting some simple but powerfull prohet.net charts, I dont know if you are following our new volume / candle setups saga... very simple stupid stuff and professional as well.... you would roughfly spend 50 bucks per month... on IB with ib charts 0.... give it another think... TS is wonderfull ( I admit) but its not the only way to trade succesfully.... cheers Walter.

and you got an up delta ¡¡¡¡¡ on that bottom hammer bar.... you should charge 500 bucks for that setup.... my lord

If you notice Tin you are NOT using VSA software and you are perfectly able to capitalize on the old concepts and vsa concepts all together.... personally your chart is more simple and easy to read than vsa chart...

Oh yes ¡¡ there is an edge on the classic aproach and vsa (included in there )¡¡¡¡ what I mean, there is no edge from VSA to the classic aproach.... same thing, diferent presentation and even probably a more complicated presentation....

like it or not Tin... we end up on the same simple corner.... thats a simple hammer with volume surge at support (period).... wanna make it more complicated with vsa etc, etc,etc.... you can make it, but this is the old same good school being thought with some diferent sutil changes.... no new cience here... no new edge... lol... did you notice yesterday how Gavin timed his trades ?.... great contradiction was there... he sayed "weaknes comes on up bars" great input indeed (maybe the only one I did capitalize from yesterday) BUT then his entry was on a swing low of volatility H (old classic past information technical tool, we indicator junkies use) mmmmmm you see... thats a contradiction.... now Tod DID take the trade with the up bar going on.... maybe he has more confidence on what he preaches.... but any way... still the same GOOD old concepts being preached with some variations... I repeat no new cience here... still good cience indeed... Nice trade there Ting.... cheers Walter.

I have a complete diferent point of view.... stops should be tight and the issue here was timing... dont panic king, you are more near to realize that some things on your plan have to be rethinked... timing wasnt good, the overall setup was ok...

that is a nice one nsitt ¡¡¡¡ are you going to see F1 live ? I imagine thats a tremendous experience ¡¡¡

trader you have a good point, now candles patterns is one of the many ways to see price action, if you add to that volume analisis plus key levels I believe you would have something more robust.... now unfortunatly more complicated too... jejejeje what Mr Paul is showing is how the overrall market sentiment was clearly talking thru price action.... not necesarily a candle pattern... I think there is a great diference to look for price action THRU candle patterns than looking just for candle patterns by itself, we all know it want make you succesfull... cheers Walter.

januson... you need have ts on one side on the other you need to buy owndata soft to feed ts... and on the other side you need esignal data feed that I belive they have your market covered.... maybe as torero says you can connect IB with owndata and feed TS.... some idea.... cheers Walter.

I "still" dont understand where is the line that divides the interpretation of fading this down bars with volume (showing strength) and having this down bars with volume installing a downtrend like today... in that case they far from showing strength they where preanouncing a big down move... please vsa experts tell me how would we establish the diference.... and where would be the ideal timing to enter either two trades....thanks Walter.

If I could know the algorithms that make their arows and rectangles... I would program them to tradestation... same as the diamonds and stop h indicator... not that I dont like their software, just that I know its a very stupid formula to code... If someone has a slight Idea, please tell me and feed my programing madness... cheers Walter.

Nice and simple Mr Paul, as at this point I am thirstie of simplification... I atach another setup there... could that also be valid ? cheers Walter.

Thanks Pivot for that information... cheers Walter.

sorry Pivot but I am still very curios about your chart platform... cheers Walter.

very nice inputs ¡¡ think we all go thru some similar process untill estability comes in... and most of us suffer the temptation of over analisis of our methods or "perfectioning" of them.... as I stated on before simplicity by itself its an "edge"... and that simplicity ironicaly must contain a sound elaborated argument to beat our oponent... on the other side you may have the correct argument with the correct dosis of simplicity BUT you dont have enough faith on it to believe it... or did not develop enough confidence on it.... what I noticed that this lack of confidence comes from the inability to "halt" the searching as ezzudit mentions and get focused just on your stuff once for ever... I believe that succesfull trading comes (after having a defenitive method) together with some boring same thing (same method) day after day after day...... like it or not this new super things we find and get so enthusiastic many times can hurt us as we get unrailed from our estable boring and normalized succesfull aproach... mmmmm nobody likes to promote the lack of research, we humans are eternal researchers, we love to find new things.... the big question should be : is your bussiness about research or about making stable dollars every day ? lets keep this discussion alive, its very constructive to me hear your experiences cheers Walter.

Would this be VSA clearly explained concepts ? so far its been dificult to understand the VSA... cheers Walter.

Hey Guys, just follow the smart money ¡¡ cat on dog, mices on cat... mmmm cheers Walter

I want to start this thread making a comment about my lately experience with complicating or simplifing things... I havent been able to introduce myself.. never took into acct there is a section to introduce yourself... made several posts etc and never did... but I am trading since 11 years now... made money... lost money... had 0 equilibrium... study study study.... started in Buenos Aires at floor, went to USA with electronic futures bla bla bla.... now the thing is, I made money during this years when I had things simple.... lost money when made things complicated.... our mind wants to cheat us telling us that if we have a more "sofisticated" aproach we will have an "edge".... well thats not true... the real edge a trader can have is "A Clear Mind" and that was what atracted me to this forum... now its true the fact that you cant go to the other extreme where you want to master the markets without any wisdom...you want to make things so simple that you get beaten by any newbie out there.... so there is some science to trading together with simplicity... The best thing I did till now has been to know something basic of almost every aproach existant out there... and try to find what is the common factor they all have.... once I detected that common factor I decided to study only that common factor from My perspective and adapt it to my style.... I like very short lived trades... no sin... makes me a nice living... its what I am comfortable with.... THE TEMPTATION is to feel with lack of satisfaction and starting again on the journey of complicating things... here is where you start losing your edge on having a clear mind.... so : be happy with your weekly performance, dont beat yourself I need more... enjoy the simplicity of what works for you... and thats it... enjoy life... cheers Walter.

This is a mercedes prototype available to gral public ... nice tires there

15 to 233 was my experience 1 1/2 year ago , cant tell how its on present... it may had improved... any way I had at that time many IB server disconections wich at esignal or TS happens very rarely...

keymoo trin has to be read oposite to index future... in this small time frame you can get some interesting timing clues... I have to make clear this charts are just experimental... cheers Walter.

nice tunning on the dark one ...

ok good Pivot.... I notice your chart is not Tradestation... on what platform are you charting ? does the platform has programing ? and last how do you get volume for forex ¡¡¡? certainly unusual ¡¡ cheers Walter. pd: very nice inputs Pivot, are you familiar with this guys Technical Analysis QQQ Trading Nasdaq 100 Stock chart S&P 500 market timing system ? they also teach volume analisis

now GCB thats a good answer you see... the time spent developing a trading skill vs the time spent on programing... very good argument, and the fact that there are many factors that systems cant be trained to see for sofisticated the algorithm could be ... good post. cheers Walter.
