[VSA] Volume Spread Analysis Part I

Recommended Posts

Hello PP and Habi, thank for your posts on Todd Kruger. I do agree that this blog should be very interesting.

 

Also, Todd mentionning his withdrawal of Tradeguider and his intention to start soon a course and mentoring program will be very welcome in the trading VSA community.

 

I do agree that, in tradeguider (apart from Tom Williams of course) is really the one who seems to understand the most about VSA.

 

Will follow this blog with attention.

 

Great thank to PP to have inform us about this blog and to Habi to have post the link.

 

Sincerely

 

Shreem:)

When I first heard the term "one-time framing", this is what I thought it meant:

 

Taking to timeframes and trading them as if they were one timeframe. In other words, if you placed to charts side by side, you traded as if the you were looking at one large chart. Effectively, "one-time framing" the two different chart timeframes.

 

However, this is not what the term means. It is a Market Profile term, so you know it must have some value :). If you want a definition, the extensive MP threads are filled with those who can help.

 

Well, based on my misunderstanding of the term and my understanding of WRB & Long Shadow Analysis, one can place two charts side by side and trade as if they were actually one large continuous chart. In his brilliant analysis, Shreem has touched on this idea often. That is, when the lower volume signal occurs on a lower timeframe but is within the body of a WRB of a larger timeframe.

 

Check out the charts below. Notice that a significant WRB is created on the 15 min @ 0345 hrs. This candle is Ultra Wide Spread with Ultra High Volume. While the next bar is down, we have to take note of the old highs to the left. These old highs tell us that we may well be dealing with pushing thru supply/absorption volume and thus the WRB is Strength, not weakness. There is also a valid dark hammer pattern completed on the candle just before this WRB. More reason to see strength.

 

As we are predisposed to look for longs, we note that @ 0355 hrs a No Supply forms on the 5 min. This candle is within the body of the WRB and comes after an Effort to Rise candle and a push to get past an old top to the left.

 

So we have our High volume bar that creates a WRB. Followed by a low volume sign within that body............... It just so happens that each comes on a different timeframe.

Hi Pivot,

 

thanks for your charts !

 

I don't understand why you labeled the doji bar with "squat" ... while it has a narrow range, it doesn't seem to me that it has very high volume.

 

Best regards.

Been getting excited about VSA again lately (not that I'm ever NOT excited about it) and saw this amazing opportunity on the ES today. This trade was good for 3.50 profit on the ES. This picture was taken before the trade finished.

Can you say awesomeness? 10 point ES move off that.

Tin - I wouldn't mind seeing a thread or two in our Candlestick Corner about some of your analysis here including vsa into the mix. I don't want to intrude on this thread, but I know you've been using candlestick analysis as well, so I'd be curious to see your thoughts on using both. I'm 'seeing' your volume premise, but not getting it just yet.

I think we might have possible buying climax in Bidu. The stock has moved rapidly (50 points in 4 days) on heavy volume. Today we had an up day that closed well off its highs on very high volume. Longer term I don't know where the stock is headed, but limited upside from here I would say.

Looks like a buying climax to me, will need to see signs of distribution and then some lack of demand prior to shorting.

Is it just my old eyes, or is anyone else having trouble reading the text inside Tingull's charts?

 

What would make it easier for you? Not having the bold around the letters maybe? It's an easy change if it'll make it easier for folks to read.

 

And brownsfan...I'll do a writeup this morning pre-market about my looking at the action with candles, too.

Narrow range bar with Ultra High Volume in new territory............. Possible end of a rising market.

 

Personally, I would not short here, but I would certainly not be getting long. Let us know what happens over the next few days. Thanks.

TG, if I squint real hard, I can indeed make it out. If nobody else is having trouble with this, I can just copy the chart with Snagit, then enlarge the image so my geriatric eyes can see it more clearly. If you look at some of the charts I've posted, I try to put clear white text on pitch black background. Seems to work well (good example on p. 30, permlink #291).

TG, Excellent thread on VSA, great Long setup on chart posted #386, the strategy here is obviously a trend reversal, however what were the exact tactics for trade entry and trade management.

 

Basically there are 3 setups : 1. Breakout of congestion

2. Retracement and continuation

3. Trend Reversal.

 

Breakout, retracement can be considered as trading in the trend direction.

Then relevant tactics have to be setout to trade with discipline and consistency. In this respect I have found info. in "Techniques of Tape Reading" by Vadym Graifer and Christopher Schumacher extremely valuable.

 

Their aspect of exiting trades on WRB with volume in conjunction with support/resistance level has made a huge impact on my trading.

EOD XLF chart (S&P Fin. Sector ETF)

 

9/25/07 - Test, Low Vol, Down Bar, Close High,

 

Test bar is occurring within the Body of the Wide Spread bar from the Fed day. I noted that bar as being Pushing through supply (two horizontal lines as possible supply, ultra high vol, Wide Spread, up bar closing on the highs)

 

From 9/20 to today XLF has been heading down on lower and lower volume (lack of interest on the downside)

 

Looking to long on break of the test bar's high

Rajiv has the right idea---posting charts that give VSA signals at the hard right edge. Good job, Rajiv! When I get good enough to spot signals like that, I'll post 'em. Taz

A lot easier to do on an EOD chart as opposed to intraday.

    • Date: 8th May 2024. Market News – Stocks mixed; Yen support still on; Eyes on NFP & Apple tonight   Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   As the Fed maintained a “high-for-longer” stance, stocks gave up their gains with attention turning back to earnings. Chair Powell and the Fed were not as hawkish as feared and the markets reacted immediately and in textbook fashion to the still dovish policy stance. The Fed flagged that recent disappointing inflation readings could make rate cuts a while in coming, but Fed chief Jerome Powell characterized the risk of more hikes as “unlikely,” giving some solace to markets. Stocks traded mixed across Asia, while in Europe, DAX and FTSE futures are finding buyers and US futures are also in demand, after the Fed’s message. Yen: Another suspected intervention by authorities, this time in late New York trading, ran into resistance from traders keen to keep selling the currency. Swiss CPI lifted to 1.4% y/y in April from 1.0% y/y in the previous month. Headline numbers are still at low levels and base effects play a role, with the different timing of Easter this year also likely to distort the picture. That said, the numbers may not question the SNB’s decision to cut rates, but they do not support another rate cut in June. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex has corrected to 105.58, but USDJPY is already inching higher again, after a sharp drop to a low of 153.04 on Tuesday that sparked fresh intervention speculation. The pair is currently trading at 155.38. Treasury yields plunged and were down over double digits before profit taking set in. USOIL finished with a -3.6% loss to $79.00, the lowest since March 12. Currently it is as $79.53. Gold was up 1.4% to $2319.55 per ounce, reclaiming the $2300 level. Market Trends:   Wall Street climbed initially with gains of 1.4% on the NASDAQ, 1.2% on the Dow, and 0.96% on the S&P500. The NASDAQ and S&P500 closed with losses of -0.3%, while the Dow was 0.23% firmer. The Hang Seng rallied more than 2%, and the ASX also posting slight gains, while CSI 300 and Nikkei declined. Apple’s earnings report is due after the US market closes today, will give investors a better sense of how the iPhone maker is weathering a sales slump, due in part to a sluggish China market.
