Hello
Does anyone here use any VSA indior for trading?
You are correct; there's no way of measuring true quantity in forex. However, using tick count for quantity measurement and it's 80% as accurate as true quantity. Of course, any quantity indior will figure out the quantity per bar or the quantity average each bar to reveal who's accountable for that bar. The gap with the VSA from average quantity is the dimension of quantity each x amount of bars, and a standard deviation. This lets us see if buyers or sellers have been coming to the market earlier.
How can VSA be applied to forex, anyway? Doesn't VSA, by it's definition, examine volume? Without a centralized exchange to monitor volume, what possible significance can we get from broker-provided volume data?

That I know it's Tick motion Volume; But It's Your Borker's Tick Volume.
Obviously not, lol. IS it tick quantity at the broker (I've heard otherwise about MT4)? And what is that saying precisely?Originally Posted by ;
It was my understanding that VSA is designed to attempt to follow the big dogs to provide a insight into accumulation/distribution phases. Certainly a useful tool in a place where you spend large chunks of time. But when the quantity information you are getting is another specs at your broker, and obviously nobody can collect sufficient in Currency Market to impact the float as if you can in stocks (big or little), how do you really do traditional VSA?
I can definitely check the quantity on a double top to see that the 2nd rally is fading and stuff like that (not certain how reliable that information is tho), but to my understanding that's not VSA. Tdion brought up the concept of using COT volume information in place of a broker's information some time back, not certain if that went really far tho... and not certain when we can use it apply a kind of VSA.
But yea, my question is that... how is it possible to perform VSA in Currency Market and what conclusions can we faithfully collect from the use of broker quantity information?
Obviously, nobody gets the answer to this question !Originally Posted by ;
I wish I did, however, a wise trader will answer the question for both for us !!

Additionally, esignal would be a fantastic beginning for volume since it includes composite volume information of 308 leading FX brokers and interbanks.
Buddy which ever trading platform you utilize to exchange forex it shows the quantity of every bar when you emphasize the individual bars together with the arrow. It gives the OHLC plus quantity. Thats all you Want to use VSAOriginally Posted by ;
Yea, but that is fantasy quantity. It's tick quantity generated by the broker, so there's no big dog information there... it's all information generated by additional local traders in your broker.Originally Posted by ;
VSA works nicely in shares, to be sure. A lot of people use that, particularly combined with level 2 data, to determine when someone big is coming into the market. That egy used to work unnaturally well, but people are getting better at breaking up their big orders since they are sick of getting coat-tailed.
That I have a tough time seeing how quantity data would work exactly the same manner in Foreign Exchange. I guess maybe it does not matter, I don't know, but it seems like you can not do the identical analysis. Now some brokers, such as IB, have an order book role. Something like that could be utilised in a manner that was similar.
