GBP Group Trade (Smart Volume Analysis + Catalyst Signal = 555 Pips)

A number of people following along with the Group Trading Account on Twitter asked if I could show a screenshot of the trade I took on the GBP (Basket) which I closed for 555 pips a short while ago.

The trade setup is a favorite of mine and I write about it a lot. It’s notated in the chart screenshot at #1. GBP Basket RUT (Had Warning) 555 Pips 01-26-2016There was actually a warning on this trade but not one I worry too much about. It’s marked in the comments for the trade in the Terminal screenshot2016-01-26 MT4 Terminal Screenshot (GBP Basket Trade). I also include a screenshot showing the MyFXBook post (Daily total) 2016-01-26_12h27_49-Twitter MyFXBook Post (Daily Total)

This was one basket taken late last night (My time) and closed this morning when I awoke.

Major Changes and Updates To Our Support System

rejoicingAnd…  There was much rejoicing.

There are a huge number of improvements over the older support system but some of the main points are… You can now reply to tickets using email without them getting missed!!!  Ticket numbers will display right away (when the ticket is submitted) so there’s no need to go digging for it in an email somewhere.  We have an issue with a RBL block on our support mail server which still needs to be addressed but in the meantime if you don’t get a response within an hour or so (Usually it’ll be much faster) check your email folders and filters.  It’s likely your email client or service ate our reply and it’s waiting for you.

I am going to switch it over live shortly.  It looks a bit more like the new design too.

There is a new FAQ area combined as well which I will be populating as we go.

Smart Group Trade Entries on EU Index H4

Some recent trade setups using only catalyst signals with no warnings, or minor warnings are taken. These are four hour trades using our simple Four Step Method which you can find on our website (www.smartvsa.com).

Short Trades
1. Smart Volume Analysis Upthrust (Up Bar Upthrust Warning but taken based on other factors including location and VBS)
2. Smart Volume Analysis Upthrust (No Warning)
3. Smart Volume Analysis Upthrust (No Warning)

Long Trades
4. Smart Volume Analysis Smart Buying Signal (No Warning) as shown at right (6)
5. Smart Volume Analysis Reverse Upthrust (No Warning)

6. Current Trade Information Area which includes Smart Volume Analysis Trade Advisor Warnings if any.

7. Smart Volume Analysis Reverse Shakeout (No Warning) This trade was not taken but it was a very good one.

Other trade setups that were also catalysts had warnings I avoid.  Generally location based warnings. If you know what’s possible with baskets you know how these trades went. People that don’t know simply wouldn’t believe it so I’ll just say this… The EURUSD component of a single basket was up over 90 pips on it’s own (There are 7-8 pairs generally in a group trade). This particular trade was taken live for our basic alert service. Please read the article about group trading on our website for some insights into this method with the critical puzzle piece… Our very powerful Volume Analysis Software and our proven methods.

We have a test account setup for development on Group Trading Tools that you can follow for free on twitter. Just ask for information in the ticket.

Thank you.

Update RE: Our Alert Service and The Automated Trading Systems

Trade Relayer UpdateAn Update On Our Alert Service and The Automated Trading Systems

As some of you know, we’ve had some issues with the automated systems and it’s causing some delays for the release of one and fixes for the other.  If anyone out there is proficient with MT4 and owns Smart perhaps you could help us in diagnosing these issues which is related to a recent mt4 update.  It’s been very frustrating and I am hoping some fresh eyes might spot something we missed. (Contact us using the support link on our website www.smartvsa.com)

Despite the issues with our automated systems the alert service based  on them at our sister site has had some very good results thus far.  I posted an update on that site located here: https://goo.gl/PpJJYO

Simple Signal Confirmation Techniques…

Don't be left unsure... Smart Volume Analysis Simple Trade Signal ConfirmationThis article is going to focus on some very simple signal confirmation techniques you can use to confirm a signal that may have an advisor warning within our Smart Volume Analysis software.

Simple Signal Confirmation Techniques

Many people using Smart never go beyond some of our published methods. In most cases there isn’t a need. Many of you do well enough with the simple and effective four step method that it would be silly to complicate things too much when it’s not necessary. That said however there are many times a trade using the four step method is avoided due to a warning. As good as the VBS (Visual Background Scanner) and Smart Trade Advisor modules are, there are some very simple signal confirmation techniques you can use to confirm a signal. One thing I recommend on trades using v 2.0 of the Four Step Method that have a warning we don’t necessarily avoid trading on is to look to the VBS module for corroboration.
Another powerful way to look at a signal confirmation is to look at the time frame above and one or two deep as well. For example.
Lets say you trade the four-hour chart. You have a signal that you usually take appear but there is a warning on the advisor. It’s not a warning we specifically avoid trading on such as a WRB but nonetheless it’s there. Rather than getting spooked, one thing I do is look at the VBS for the time frame above and the current time frame. If it matches I’ll take the trade.
Another way to confirm a signal that I find particularly useful is to look at the above time frame for a signal (Daily) and look for the directional bias. I also look within the signal as well. By this I mean I look to see what signals may have made up the signal I am contemplating taking. Let’s say I have a Smart Buying signal (strength) on the time frame I like (H4). I can drill down to shorter timeframes to see what might be happening within that signal bar. Let’s say on the hourly I have two strength signals and a weakness signal on the bars that formed my h4 signal. That shows me that the underlying market has been stronger than weaker. Now for the sake of argument lets say the last hourly bar was the weakness signal… that might give me pause for concern taking a long as it shows, at least short-term that weakness has entered the market.

We are coming out with a lot of tools in the next version to do this signal confirmation analysis for you automatically but in the meantime it just takes a second or two to confirm smart volume analysis signals that have a warning.  This is a good habit regardless of which method you trade using Smart Volume Analysis.

As always if you have any questions about this or anything related to Smart Volume Analysis send a ticket using the support link on our website.
