See Gray Bar, Go Long (Grab 120 pips) It really is this easy… Really.

See Gray Bar, Go Long (Grab 120 pips)… It really is this easy… Really.

 

Take a look at the following screenshot.  It illustrates just how easy SMART makes trade decisions using Volume Spread Analysis.  The signal is the shakeout (strength) and appears twice on the AUDUSD Hourly Chart.  This is just one signal. This is just one chart. It repeats over and over, day in and day out.  Imagine if you knew them all and could see them all instantly without having to do anything…  What if you had audio alerts that you could turn off and on for each signal so you don’t have to watch the charts all day….  Doot da do.

 

SMART Volume Spread Analysis Software makes trading extremely profitable and really is “So easy an 8 year old can do it”  My daughter (8) doubled her account in under a month using a very simple trading system (The same one I do) and is now on her way to doing it again.  Customers in the live chat are making from 500  to 1000+ pips a week.

 

Don’t just take my word for it… Here are some recent testimonials from a few of our customers.

 

PS – Thanks to SMART just made back a loss on GBP/USD H1 with ETF followed by PUT 😉 – W. (Commenting on first trade using SMART)

I bought the TradeGuider MT4 plugin and compared with your SMART and there is no comparison… the TG stuff is shite. – J.

By the way the 240 euro cost of your software is the best money I’ve spent to date on trading, you have an excellent product and setup, I was a TradeGuider user up till this!!! – C.

166 win 22 loss with SMART – K.

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.

Huge Drop In Euro (EUR/USD) As Seen Through The Eyes of SMART Volume Spread Analysis Software

Posted on by pipbuilder
I often say that SMART (VSA) Prepositions for news and today was no exception.  Today’s huge moves in the EUR/USD, USD, ES, etc. We’re really great trades with very little risk.  The chart below illustrates a SMART VSA signal preceding the huge down move on the EUR/USD and multiple Standard VSA signals that would have kept you in short for the whole move (Start to finish).

 

The USD, ES (and many others) had very clear examples as well but for illustration purposes I chose the EUR/USD chart.

 

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.

A Quick Post Featuring Some Upcoming VSR (Volume Based Support and Resistance) Indicators

Posted on by pipbuilder
A Quick Post Featuring Some Upcoming VSR (Volume Based Support and Resistance) Indicators.  Forgive the resolution of the screen but this was taken on my netbook.  The chart is the EMini on the hourly.  These are being tested now for a future update of SMART Volume Spread Analysis Software. 

The thicker lines are made using our High Volume Zone Module and the thinner lines are a combination of our updated point of control module and the new version of our VSR Module.  If you have any questions pop into the chat or fire us a ticket.  Have a great weekend and enjoy.

Retry: E-Mini (ES) Signal To Signal On H1 Using SMART Volume Spread Analysis Software

Posted on by pipbuilder

Some people couldn’t see the screenshot in the original post so I am trying it again.  Please let me know via the chat if it still doesn’t show up.

 

Hello all, sorry for the lack of posting.  I have been busy with some external (yet related) projects.
Today we have another great example of SMART VSA (Volume Spread Analysis) software in action on the E-mini.  The signals are noted using numbers within the chart and the comments are below the screenshot.  Trades noted (with number one being the exception) are what I call “tradeable” signals as per SMART, background, range etc. and taken in non dz’s.
This chart really illustrates how easy trading with SMART can be…
Which reminds me, the project featuring my daughters is moving along very nicely.  Their account has just about doubled since starting (a few weeks ago) Not bad for a couple of kids.  Please note I have limited their trading to the EUR/USD and the ESM1 (E-mini June) only.
In regards to the screenshot, 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.

 

E-Mini (ES) Signal To Signal On H1 Using SMART Volume Spread Analysis Software

 

 

  1. Strength coming in after a dz (SMART VSA Strength Indication – Blue Square Potential Strength)
  2. Weakness and a SMART VSA Red Bar (Valid Upthrust – Weakness)
  3. SMART RTHFC (SMART VSA Green Bar) followed by a Shakeout (SMART VSA Gray Bar – Strength)
  4. SMART VSA Red Bar (Valid Upthrust at a top for range – Very Weak)
  5. SMART VSA Hidden Buying Bar (Custom Color Coming Soon) Excellent Strength Signal.
  6. Same as #2

 

There you have it. Pretty neat huh?.

 

Please keep in mind SMART Trader itself is painting these bars (and will only paint valid signals) which makes these patterns and setups much easier to spot and act on.  There is no guesswork.

Last Call…

Posted on by pipbuilder
It's been a long time since I've upated here on SMART (Behind the scenes) stuff.

We are fast approaching our goal of licensed SMART installations (Cheers) and will likely be stopping sales to focus on finishing the porting to a stand alone version (a free upgrade to existing clients) at that point.

The stand alone will likely be priced a bit higher than our current version so your chances to own it on the cheap are evaporating. Nothing is etched in stone in terms of pricing but most SMART users report recouping their money very quickly (usually within days) and after nearly a year of sales we have only had 6 refund requests which I think is a fitting testament to how worthwhile a bump in the price of the software is.

SMART Volume Spread Analysis Software (Strength or Weakness Module)

Posted on by pipbuilder
Note:  To avoid confusion please note this was an older post which for some reason was not posted but rather saved as a draft.  As such the charts while relevant at the time are at different prices from current levels.

 

The proprietary SMART Volume Spread Analysis Software Strength or Weakness (AKA SOW not to be confused with Sign Of Weakness) Indication like many of the modules in SMART is just that… an indication… it shows whether there is strength or weakness in the background on a particular chart.  It has the additional benefit of determining whether supply or demand is present as well. 

A lot of the newer SMART Volume Spread Analysis Software users get into the habit of trying to trade every signal as if each is a tradeable event.  A number of the signals (detailed extensively in the live chat and here) are most definitely tradeable, and it’s not to say that the other patterns/signals aren’t important but that they should be treated as indications of strength and weakness and what is likely to happen rather than what will happen.

 

The SMART Strength or Weakness Module however has the distinction of being both an indication of strength or weakness and a tradeable signal.  Please read on.

 

We are only going to focus on the Strength and Demand indications within the SMART SOW module (Noted by blue and green square icons on the chart) as the reverse signals (Pink and red) do not react in the same manner. (Not enough to warrant discussion here anyway)

 

The signals within the SOW module come from proprietary code within our background scanners as well as supply and demand scanners within the module itself.  Normally on a single blue square (strength) I would say it’s just an indication and should not be traded solely because it has appeared.  The same goes for the green square (Demand) but when strength and demand indications occur on the same candle/bar it is quite different as the following examples will demonstrate.

 

I often say how easy SMART makes it to see/read what is really happening on the charts in real time and here is a perfect example. Take a look at the following charts and you should immediately be able to see the pattern we are discussing (Be aware of volume as well as these all occur within non dead zones (except one) You can see very easily how single blue squares react but more importantly how the price reacts when both supply and demand indications appear on the same candle/bar

 

Please keep in mind that these examples are not cherry picked, they 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.

22 Points On The ES Mini Using SMART Volume Spread Analysis Software

Posted on by pipbuilder
Here is an excellent example of SMART in action on the ES Mini.  Using some very simple tools within SMART Volume Spread Analysis Software you could have grabbed a nice 22 pip ride on the ES Mini using a Standard VSA pattern (Shakeout) and Our Proprietary Visual Background Scanners (Which are coming in a future update).

 

For those not in the chat and not aware of my calls/stats for the past week… Forex was +1824 pips, and ES was +1495 (Pip Equivalent), and my Daughters (Who I am training for the “SMART VSA, So easy an 8 year old can do it” project) are at 796 pips.
