New Smart Signal in Action

As promised here are some examples of just one of the new signals added into the update that went live yesterday. for the complete list of updates added please refer to the previous post.

 

Please keep in mind that these examples are not cherry picked, the screenshots are real World examples selected from all of the charts I watch where the signal(s) and or concepts being discussed have appeared at the time this article was written.

Some nice examples of one of our new signals (High Volume Efforts) on EUR/USD H1

 

1. HV Effort To Rise (Weakness)
2. HV Effort To Rise (weakness)

 

You can see pretty clearly how they perform and it was a combined 100 pips on them fairly easily.  

 

Combine this with some of our other “Tradeable” signals and you start to see why Smart is so valuable.

 

For more information visit: http://www.smartvsa.com

 

 

 

Please also keep in mind SMART Trader itself is painting these bars which makes these patterns and setups much easier to spot and act on.  There is no guesswork,  if a signal is painted it is valid.

 

These patterns repeat themselves day in and day out and using SMART you can clearly see not only standard VSA signals but our advanced multibar SMART VSA patterns as well.

Trade setups are verified using our proprietary background scanners (included with the system).

    Weekly Recap: 591.10 Pips – Traderelayer Volume Based Trade Alert Service

    First let me thank everyone that has signed up to try our new alert service.  We had a huge response and even I was surprised by just how many people jumped on board out of the gate.  

    As you may know we got off to a slow start due to some technical issues with the client.  We were also undermanned on the calls but we still managed to call out the following trades last week (Packages the alerts would have shown in are in parenthesis):

    15 pips on EUR/GBP (EUR and GBP Package)
    30 pips on EUR/USD (EUR and USD Package)
    30 pips on GBP/USD (GBP and USD Package)
    6.5 pips on GBP/JPY (GBP Package)

    4.75 on ES  (ES Package Works out to 125 pips from point conversion combined on the ES trades)
    -2.25 on ES 

    So far this week (Today) we called a 
    33.6 pip trade on EUR/USD (EUR and USD Package) and a 7 points on the ES (Works out to 350 pips for the Forex guys)

    Combined alerts called so far from last week (to today) with only one trader up the total was 591.10 pips (Including ES Point to Pip Conversion).  

    This is well above the subscription charge for the entire month.

    If you would like to try it free for two weeks and more information on our volume based trade alert service for forex, and emini please visit: http://www.traderelayer.com

    Don't just take our word for it…. Try it free for two weeks yourself.

    Here's what some users have said in the chat or the facebook group:
