I passed on that first NS, being patient. My entry was after the “push through the Automatic Rally” as I call it. If you’re not sure what is, watch the videos. The AR is defined as the first level of resistance after strength.
A proper push through entry candle will close at or near the high of the candle without excessive Volume.
Quick trade I just took on the UK100. This was based on stopping volume / pin bar reversal and waited for a retracement before entering. Quickly went profitable and moved to BE. Took half and exited the 2nd half when i saw it quickly shoot up. It may continue back but that was enough for me. As it turned out its reversed. Perfect exit
I understand all of this, the only problem is knowing when the trade will begin to move sideways once it hits support or resistance. Sometimes the trade moves sideways then other times it blows through support/resistance.
In the same way that we’re looking at volume to show a sign of strength or weakness for our entry, use it in the same manner when in a profitable trade. If you hit support/resistance on high volume and the reaction confirms this, you’re likely to get a nice pullback or enter a range or either accum or distribution.
Volume is the key
If you make higher (or lower) prices on lower volume, this is a good sign of price continuing.
HEY ! want to know if you do like this petefader or anybody else :)! well the trend is your friend soo on the daily we can see the trend on the latest day. and after we look for the correction of the trend and enter with a high volume candle on a resistance/support. its like swing trading but with the vsa. and at the very beginning of the correction we need to have a low/medium volume average ! well sorry for my english im a french canadian lol.
Did you mean to post a chart? I don’t see anything. If I was swing trading, yes I would still use VSA even down to the smaller TF for info, it would just be a matter of only taking setups with the potential to run big.
