Sebastian,
Have studied the ES charts, but am now confused as to how to implement the info. in trading this in realtime.

For example, at point D & E there is weakness, then there is strength at F,
Similarly at G weakness, at H strength. How do we determine entry for a trade in these situations, are we talking about gunning for a point or two?
for although the bar at "I" looks ideal in hindsight, bars could have popped up as before showing strength. How does one manage the trade under these circumstances??

Welcome - I have one quick question on bar A on the 3rd dec chart. You stated that a wide spread down on high volume is generally bullish. However this bar closes near the low, so would this not be interpreted generally as weakness.

Not Sebastian, but the next bat was up, Telling us that there was some strength in the high vol down bar.

Ah monad, it's the million dollar question...........

I am not trying to take anything away from Sebastian as I am very impressed by his commentary and I would be chuffed to be able to read a chart half as well as him one day, BUT there is a big difference in being able to understand VSA and then trading (successfully) in realtime on the hard right edge of the chart !

If you can grasp the concept of VSA then perhaps you can build your own trading method around it, with the timeframes that suit you and your trading account.

The chap who introduced me to VSA back in the summer used the FTSE daily chart as his trend direction tool, then he would drop down to 30 min bars for his VSA entry signal. It seemed to work for him and he wasn't glued to the screen all day. He would return every 28 mins just as the 30 min bar (and volume) was forming. If there was no signal he would walk away and wait another 28 mins.
