Trade Set-Up Sequence

Volume Spread Analysis Glossary

A structured pattern of 2–3 related VSA signals appearing within a 2–5 bar window that together justify a trade. Each sequence has three roles: Signal 1 alerts the practitioner that a setup may be forming, Signal 2 confirms and prompts preparation (calculating stop and position size), and Signal 3 is the trigger bar on which the trade is executed. The framework defines ten bullish sequences (e.g., Shake-Out → Test → No Supply) and twenty bearish sequences (e.g., Buying Climax → Supply Coming In → No Demand). No single bar should be traded in isolation—markets are stories unfolding bar by bar, and sequences enforce the discipline of waiting for confirmation.
