Just curious as to if anyone has had dealings with this site? A fellow board member brought it to my attention, and thought it looked interesting from a VSA standpoint. I think eSignal has a Hawkeye indicator system, as does tradestation.

 

Just an interesting site. :)

I've been using some of the hawkeye indicators for a couple of years. In my opinion, they provide an excellent product & great support if needed. They're quick to respond and very personable. A trading partner of mine attended one of Nigel's training seminars and found it profitable. My nic is hawk but no connection.

The essence of VSA is this:

 

Looking at Volume, which is activity, and the resulting effects this CHANGE in volume has on spreads and closing price (high, middle, low of bar).

 

Since volume is activity, tick volume can be used where actual volume is not available.

 

But take a look at his charts, the volume is constant as he is using tick charts. If there is no change in volume because it is held constant, it can not be VSA. The concept of Relative is essential. Today's period relative to the volume 1 bar prior or two bars prior.

 

Simply, It may have some value, but it is not VSA.

Nigel had some connection with Tom Williams back in the 80s. I think I met him in London at a VSA software demo. So I guess he knows VSA.

 

Indeed. I heard (not from Tom but from someone that is quite close) that they had some sort of falling out a way back.

 

The old Hawkes web site made a brief mention of Charles Drummond, I got the impression at some time he had been influential. Seems latterly he has thrown up Murray Math lines too.

 

He has put a rigorous methodology together based round a few simple indicators. I kinda chuckle at the indicators because I think I have a good idea of exactly what they all are and where they came from! Personally I think he should sell the methodology and give away the indicators.

 

I'd like to meet the guy sometime seems that we share some common influences.

PP, what charts are you referring to? I downloaded and ran his free volume indicator for Tradestation and it performs as advertised. It even has his voice for audio alerts.

I've had the distinct honor of meeting both Gail, Nigel and Harry at three workshop/seminars and have the upmost respect for their professional character, and willingness to assist with the ongoing education of everyone involved.

 

My first impression of Gail on the chat room was that she showed genuine interest in members and followed up questions and concerns with thorough responses.

 

Specifically, Gail is always prompt with a response to any questions I may have. Particular examples include:

 

Showing how indicators work as a daily part of the routine and is thorough and consistent in covering the entry and exit point before and during each trade.

 

Indicating positives and negatives of trades to find a balance through understanding what constitutes a good or bad trading day.

 

Alerting you to daily news to stay informed on how it can affect trading.

 

Approaching trading without emotion, relying on her vast experience and strict adherence to following the rules.

 

Going out of her way to work with you on targeted issues to get you back on track.

 

Genuine and sincere, and dedicated to providing the proper tools for individual success.

 

Over the past 4 years I have paid to attend other chat rooms, however; none of them have provided the level of expertise and personal assistance that I have received from Hawkeye Team. [if any folks need a solid foundation and education to be successful in trading I would highly suggest their trading room... I thank Gail, Nigel and Harry for their commitment toward helping anyone who is serious. Check everything out for yourself, they have nothing to hide and you have everything to gain from Hawkeye indicators and training.. - Dr. PN

Nigel and Tom Williams worked together on VSA in earlies. They had a seperation in their work, but both are friends until today. Both are good in Volume Spread Analysis. I use of both of their indicators. For me If one is not picking other definitely pick. Nigel Combined Momentum, Standard Deviation and chart patterns with Volume that gave me an edge. Thanks for Nigel and Tom!! Great works!

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
